Hi, readers! I'm excited to introduce my own mother's new blog to you. I've been urging her for years to start blogging again (she used to keep a Xanga back in the day), and finally today, she has launched Books, Cats, and Whimsy for your blog-reading pleasure.

And I got to design it . . . Cute, right?

 Click HERE to go to her blog and be sure to follow it. I can promise you that it will be full of all things bookish, feline, and whimsical, with the occasional writing tip (she is an award-winning-bestseller after all!) thrown in for good measure. You can also start watching for news of her new release . . . because, yes, after a ten year hiatus, Jill Stengl is about to jump back into the world of publishing! Proud Daughter Squeal: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
