Karma Cats to the Rescue

I wrote the Karma Cats books in memory of my soul mate cats, Oliver and Julian, to inspire kids to be kind and compassionate towards animals and each other.

The Karma Cats show kids that when they are kind, kindness will be returned to them.

The Cheerleader Speaks Paperback 

 Review: “Life is isn’t as high school reveals, and many of the lessons come afterwards. “The Cheerleader Speaks: What God Taught Me About Men and Myself” is a memoir from Kathleen Kastner who shares her experiences as she goes from cheerleader to real woman, and the gauntlet of everything in between. Strongly drawing on her faith in the process, she writes with much inspiration and humor, sure to help many a curious reader. “The Cheerleader Speaks” is a strong pick for memoir and inspirational collections, recommended.”
