I’m Mishka, a four-year-old beauty that my mom decided to keep when my cat mom had kittens. My cat mom isn’t with us anymore, so I’m attached to my human mom, but I’m also pretty independent. I’ve recently discovered that I can perch on her shoulders, so that’s our new thing. I think she likes it.
What is your favorite toy?
I’ve never been into toys much, but sometimes my humans get things delivered, and the boxes they arrive in are so comfy! I also like to attack my mom’s feet when they move under a blanket. Sometimes she says it hurts, but I don’t believe her.
What is your favorite food?
My mom feeds me crunchy deliciousness that has a mix of salmon and chicken, so that’s my usual. I don’t overindulge, so she fills up a big bowl for me, and I can eat whenever I want. I have learned what opening a can of tuna sounds like, though, so I get pretty excited when that happens. That’s even better than my usual!
Who is your editor?
Her name is Lisa Gilliam. I only have one name, though. Not sure what that means!
What does your editor edit?
She edits novels in a bunch of different genres. She says she especially likes mystery, science fiction, and fantasy.
Where does your editor do their work?
She works at her desk in our bedroom. The back of the chair sits against the wall, which makes it really easy for me to not fall if I lose my balance when I’m sleeping on her shoulder. I also like to hang out on her lap or next to her laptop while she’s working. The closer proximity to her hands means increased chance of pettings.
What is the best thing about being an editor pet?
She’s home all the time! When she’s working, she stays in the same place for a long time, so I can cuddle up on her lap, her shoulder, or the desk. And if I need some space, the bed is right there, so I can still see her. So many cuddle spots to choose from!
What is the hardest thing about being an editor pet?
She’s home all the time! I love her and everything, but sometimes I need some time to myself, ya know? She also works a lot, so when I do want her attention, she’s sometimes too focused on other things. She gets distracted every now and then, though, so I’m kind of like her supervisor. I sit on her lap with my front paws on the desk so I can watch her and make sure she stays on task.
What does a typical day in your editor pet life look like?
When my editor wakes up, she goes to the kitchen to make her morning tea and breakfast. She doesn’t function well until after that, so I wait for her on her desk chair. I always make her pick me up off the chair so she can sit down (increased chance of pettings). I usually switch between cuddle spots while she’s working, but if I get bored and she doesn’t need supervision, I sit by the window and watch the birds and squirrels. There’s a tree outside the window, so there’s lots of entertainment out there. When she’s done working, she makes dinner, and sometimes she saves me little bites (I still like tuna better). She goes and does random things outside for a while, but I’m not into that, so I just watch the birds or take a nap while I wait for her. After that, we hang out in the living room until bedtime.
Where can people go to find out more about your editor?
She has a lots of different ways to find her, but she likes being contacted through her website best.

]]>I’m Daisy, and my parents, after looking at tons of dog pictures on the internet, decided I’m a Chorkie (Chihuahua-Yorkie). The give-away is the majestic hair that sticks out from my neck in all directions. They adopted me from a foster home several years ago and have since doted on my every whim, as they should.
What is your favorite toy?
I’m glad you asked such an important question. First and foremost, it has to squeak. Who doesn’t love a symphony of endless squeaks? No one I know, that’s for sure. My favorite, favorite are my fishies. There are four of them, and whenever they are put away in my toy chest, I have to drag them downstairs to the living room floor where they belong.
What is your favorite food?
The only thing more important than toys is food. I don’t know if I can say what my favorite food is since I eat my meals so fast that I don’t even taste them. If I’m quick, I beat my brother, Skip, at our twice-daily eating competition, and can run over to his bowl and help him finish.
Who is your author?
My author is ML Erdahl. He writes as often as he can, but I do my best to distract him by jumping in his lap and licking his face.
What does your author write?
He writes cozy mysteries set in the outdoors. We walk in the woods a lot, which he calls research. Kinda weird, I know, but he feels better about not writing when he says that.
Where does your author write their stories?
He moves around in an attempt to get comfortable, but he likes to sit on the couch next to me the best. When he’s contemplating a scene, he gives me head scratches, so I’m willing to share the space.
What is the best thing about being an author pet?
Well, since I don’t recognize boundaries, the best part is that I get attention whenever I want by pushing myself into his personal space. He’s also a sucker if I roll on my back for belly scratches.
What is the hardest thing about being an author pet?
Seriously? Nothing! I’m too adorable to ignore, so I get all the attention I need. I have him wrapped around my little finger.

I will also give her the head butts then I will go back to bed and lie down on the quilt. If she is home and isn’t working her other job, I like to talk to her. I always wait for her to go to bed. We have this game that she will talk to me to coax me to come to bed and I lead her into the kitchen demanding treats. When she gives in I will follow her to bed and have her or my daddy rub my spot. Sometimes I’ll get up and scratch the door to let me out and then I eat and drink. I then pound on her door and meow to let me back in. We close the door, so the other cat doesn’t come in and steal my spot or keep her awake.
Is there anything else you’d like to add?
I loves my humans and my sister. My humans saved me from this glass cage four years ago. I was a sad kitty, but my momma has shown me so much love and trust that I want to be around her all the time.

Jasmine – I’m a black German Shepherd. I’m the middle of my siblings and the quietest too. I’m 7 years old. The only time I’m noisy is when I want a biscuit. My author set the rules we get two special treats a week…
Fitz – I’m a sable German Shepherd. I’m the youngest of my siblings and the biggest. I’m 17 months old and over 110 lbs. My author named me after her favorite character.
What is your favorite toy?
Belle – I really don’t play with toys too much anymore. Usually I like the grab a set of interlocking rings and shake them around at something I don’t like on TV.
Jasmine – I just watch Belle bark at TV and look the other way. I’ve pretty much given playing with toys. Fitz always steals them away.
Fitz – Right now my favorite is a set of interlocking rings, but I also have fun with a noiseless ball. Heck, who am I kidding, I have fun just chasing my own tail.
What is your favorite food?
Belle, Jasmine & Fitz – We all get the same brand of food, but we like to think that steal food out of someone else’s bowl makes it taste better.
Who is your author?
Belle, Jasmine & Fitz – Our author is Debra-Ann Kummoung.
What does your author write?
Fitz – What does write mean? I’m new to the whole writing thing.
Jasmine – I’m not sure, something about this Jane Austen. She’s never come to our author’s house so I’m not sure what our author is talking about.

Where does your author write their stories?
Jasmine – Usually our author writes in her office. She has this big desk that she likes to sit at.
Belle – It’s this cool room that she keeps blocked off when she’s not home but sometimes Jasmine likes to sneak in. Our author doesn’t like that too much.

Fitz – Around 7:45am our author puts me in a crate so I don’t destroy the house while she is at work. Belle and Jasmine are big girls and have free run of the house. We all lay around until she comes home around 5:30pm and then we get to play and eat and our author wants to write for about an hour before relaxing.
Is there anything else you’d like to add?
Belle, Jasmine & Fitz – Yes. We like to stay with our author even when Dad is home. Our author has epilepsy and sometimes we feel like she doesn’t feel too good, so we stay with her.

Two Disney Princesses and Mr. Darcy.
Eveningstar: I am an unearthly beautiful black Persian cat with glowing yellow eyes. If you’re very good, I may allow you to worship me.
Tiger: I’m a tortoiseshell cat who used to live with Glory but enjoys helping out Lydia, the human I’m currently with. She’s a little lost and could use some good advice.
What is your favorite toy?
Eveningstar: I refuse this silly “toy” thing you speak of. I’m not a kitten. I enjoy lying around watching and waiting to be adored.
Tiger: I’m usually too busy to play, but it’s interesting to see what the imp in the closet is getting up to!
What is your favorite food?
Eveningstar: (head perks up) Donuts? Did you say you have donuts? (Drooling, stalking) It would be better to give them to me now. I will not give you a second warning.
Tiger: (sigh)
Who is your author?
Eveningstar: (blinks) You mean that strange woman who documents our lives? She does not do my fabulousness justice. Also, she says embarrassing things about my love of donuts.
Tiger: Katherine Gilbert. She’s nice enough, but she doesn’t live with any cats currently, so she’s sadly incomplete.
What does your author write?
Eveningstar: Me. She has documented me in her new novel, Protecting the Dead. Sadly, I’m not in her other, unpublished novels. For that, I weep for the humanity that is being denied me. Truly, I weep.
Tiger: Actually, her novel documents both of us and the humans, angels, werewolves, cat people, and others at the Roanoke Apartments–even the vampires. I hate vampire scent.
Where does your author write their stories?
Eveningstar: I won’t dignify that with an answer, as you’re no longer talking about me.
Tiger: Sadly, in another reality far away from the Roanoke. It’s too bad. She may be human, but she’s still odd enough to fit in.
What is the best thing about being documented in a novel?
Eveningstar: More humans can know and worship me.
Tiger: All the hard work of Lydia, Geoffrey and the others to keep us safe is finally revealed to the world.
What is the hardest thing about being documented in a novel?
Eveningstar: This Gilbert person seems to believe that Lydia is the main character. I have no notion how she could have gotten that idea. Clearly, it is me.
Tiger: It does give away some of our secrets …
Where should readers go to read your author’s work?
Eveningstar: Read, don’t read, it is of little importance to me. If you do read, it should only be to find out more about my loveliness.
Tiger: I’ll help her out! Go to any of the following to find Protecting the Dead:

What does a typical day in your life at the Roanoke look like?
Eveningstar: Worship and donuts. That is the true secret to life.
Tiger: Mostly, it’s spent watching out for Lydia and Geoffrey. There’s this one vampire who keeps coming by to bother Lydia. She tolerates him, but I don’t like him. Of course, there’s also the threat of the demon returning …
Is there anything else you’d like to add?
Eveningstar: Send donuts to me at the Roanoke. If you hand-feed them to me, I may allow you to stay and adore me.
Tiger: (sigh) Come visit with the person who documented us at: https://www.facebook.com/Katherine-Gilbert-Author-102573417043950/ She has no cats, so she can use all the friends she can get.
My name is Orion, though Mom likes to call me “fluff nugget” too. I’m a turquoise greencheek conure and a preening machine. I live with six other birds, though there used to only be three of us. Mom just keeps rescuing my brothers and sisters and bringing them home. Luna and Apollo are ring neck doves who were already there when Mommy adopted me. I think it’s funny because Apollo likes to poof up like a giant chicken when I get near him. At least he’s letting me start to preen him a little. Luna’s a daredevil who likes to dive bomb Mom. I don’t tell her, but I think it’s kind of funny. Then Mom brought home this really pretty white dove named Nova. She’s my best friend. We preen each other and snuggle up together. I won’t let anything happen to her!
Mama also rescued three zebra finches named Zeus, Athena, and Venus. They are so much fun to chase! I know Mommy doesn’t like it, but I can’t help it. They’re so fast! But when one of them got out, all I did was preen her and help Mommy get her back to the cage. Athena went to sleep and never woke about a year ago. Mama still gets sad when she talks about her. And then finally there’s Aladdin. *Sigh*. Aladdin is a sun conure that Mommy got after he was stuck at a store for 10 months. He likes to bite my toes, and I don’t like it one bit! But, we’re trying to get along. We take baths together and try to share Mommy, but no matter what, she’s mine.
But anyway, here’s the whole flock together!
What is your favorite toy?
Anything with bells! I like to wear them on my head like a hat. But I also like to chase around balls with bells in them. When I get tired, Mommy cuddles me which is the best part!
What is your favorite food?
Nutriberries! They’re so good and I can hold them in my talons! I also like sharing food with Mom, especially cherries, strawberries, and carrots. I also steal popcorn from her and her friends.
Who is your author?
My Mommy is author Erin Casey.
What does your author write?
She likes to write fantasy stories. I think it’s because she says I’m her little dragon, so of course she has to write about me. Sometimes she talks to herself and uses different voices when she’s writing. I don’t know if she’s trying to talk to me or she’s having a one-sided conversation! She’s really excited because she’s publishing her first book, an urban fantasy called The Purple Door District. She’s also querying a YA LGBT fantasy novel. I’m happy she’s so excited, but I know it makes her sad when she gets rejection letters.
Where does your author write their stories?
All over the place! In the aviary with us. She writes at the kitchen table with a fake candle on. At least, I think it’s fake. It flickers, which scares me sometimes. I like it when she writes on the couch because then I get to snuggle with her.
What is the best thing about being an author pet?
The snuggles at her computer! It’s so nice and warm. Mommy will let me curl up against her hands and preen me while she’s writing. Sometimes I’ll fall asleep against her hand when she’s playing with the mouse. She’s so comfy!
What is the hardest thing about being an author pet?
Mommy is gone a lot because she can’t afford to be a full-time author yet. She has a full-time job away from home, and she helps a lot of people with their writing. I hope she sells a lot of books, or more people help her on her patreon site! She keeps telling us that once she’s a full-time author, she can spend more time with us at home, and get us even more toys! But really, I just want my mommy home to cuddle and kiss me.
Where should readers go to read your author’s work?
Mommy has a lot of places where she posts her writing! You can also be friends with her on Twitter and Facebook. She really likes meeting new people. You should look at her patreon account because she’s putting up her new book there early! Please help her so she can stay home with me.

What does a typical day in your author pet life look like?
I get up in the morning with Mommy. She comes into my room and turns on the lights then she takes me out of my cage to give me kisses. When she can write at home, I stay out of the cage with her ALL day. I curl up on her arm, and I eat nutriberries on top of her computer. She doesn’t even mind when the seeds get stuck in her keyboard! When she takes breaks from writing, she throws my toy balls around so I can chase them. I share lunch with her and munch on carrots and fruits. Sometimes she’ll even give me a piece of popcorn! I stay up with her until 9pm when it’s my bedtime. Then Mommy kisses me goodnight and puts me back in my cage. Sometimes I have to share her with my brothers, but that’s okay. I know Mommy loves me.
Is there anything else you’d like to add?
I know a lot of people think that birds can’t be pets. They like dogs and cats better. But my mommy loves me so much. Even when she has bad days, she’ll take me into her bedroom and let me sleep on her face while she relaxes. I just want my mommy to be happy because then I’m happy too!
