Congratulations on the release of Romeo’s Rescue.
Please tell us more about it.
About the book:
This is a story about a cat, who after a lot of trials and
tribulations, finds a forever home.
What was the inspiration for this book?
Jennifer: We have a feral cat problem in the rural areas
that we live. A neighbor, along with myself, made it our mission to stop the
population of cats and to take care of those cats that decided to make our
property their home. We’ve spaded and neutered and vaccinated many cats, found
homes for kittens, and provide food and shelter.
What is your favorite moment from the book?
Jennifer: Of course when Romeo finds the two children and
they take him in.
Is this your first published book?
Jennifer: No
We’d love to hear more about you.
Jennifer: I’ve been writing and publishing for nearly twenty
years. Romeo’s Rescue is my 28th book published for children, and my
third with Guardian Angel. I had my own online magazine called Wee Ones for
about eight years, taught at the Institute of Children’s Literature (eight
years), and wrote for many children’s magazines including Highlights, Boys’
Life, and Hopscotch. Currently I teach part time at a Christian high school and
am a full time graduate student at Vermont College of Fine Arts. My degree will
be in Writing for Children and Young Adults.
Wee Ones was a great magazine. I know a lot of people who
miss it still.
How can our readers learn more about you and any upcoming
Romeo’s Rescue events?
Jennifer: Reader’s can visit the Guardian Angel website
until my own website www.jennifer-reed.com
is updated. Or, they can find me on Facebook under Jennifer Reed, author.

Who can resist a kitty who needs a home? I'm betting this is a winner. Congrats to Jennifer Reed and thanks for posting the interview!
My dear friend lost her kitty this week; he's nowhere to be found. So this interview was very timely and meaningful. Thanks for saving the cats and kitties!
Thanks for stopping in Sharon and Penelope. Penelope, I hope your friend finds her kitty!
This book will probably encourage lots of kids to care about strays and to be sure pets they own are spayed and neutered in the future.
Yes Janet, and to support the humane society in their area. They do such important work.
Congrats Jennifer! Great concept! Sell a million!
What a wonderful thing to do! You're to be commended for this selfless action! This is what the people of Rome did within the last 10 years and now there is not the huge homeless cat problem there. In fact, they encourage tourists (after they've been properly vetted) to take a kitty home from Rome!
Lovely topic. Lovely book! Congratulations!
Thanks for stopping in, Jack.
Nancy, what interesting information. Thanks for sharing!
