Let’s have one more post from Bodie Parker, author of GOOD ON PAPER. We’ll have her back when I’ve finished reading her wonderful book. I’ll be very sorry when it’s done.

Here is her first appearance with me and here is her second appearance with me and here is the third.

Here is her biography again:

Bodie Parkhurst is a writer, artist, and designer. She lives in a Craftsman worker’s cottage named Betty in the empty half of Oregon with the House Leroy, her son Patrick, two formerly-feral Hawaiian cats, and a ghost named Jesús. She has a Master’s degree in English with a minor in Art, got through college by driving a truck and working in a dairy, and believes that no experience in life should be wasted.If nothing else, it provides plot material. She provides cover design typesetting, and print coordination services to various small presses, and self-publishers.

What makes the cats “Hawaiian”?

The cats are Hawaiian because they were born feral on the University of Hawaii at Manoa campus, and found living under a bush there as very young kittens. Through the efforts of an amazing group of people there–the university employee who found them, her reporter friend who spread the word about them, a vet who gave them their vaccinations and spayed them for cost, a man who offered them a foster home until a permanent one could be found, and the reporter again who, with her husband, flew the kittens over to the mainland and met us at the airport the kittens became ours. It was the most amazing experience–this whole group of people simply made it their business to make it right for these kittens. We are so happy to have them, and they are so happy to have us.
