Author and illustrator:
Phoenix is my pen name.
My family name is Chiu. I was born in I-Lan, Taiwan. My highest diploma
is a bachelor degree from the Applied English Department of Ming Chuan
University. I worked as English sales secretary in import and export
companies for several years. I now lives in the United States. I loves
writing, drawing, cooking, and photography. I had dozens of essays and
healthy recipes published in the World Journal Newspaper and World
Journal Weekly Magazine between 2009 and 2010. Recently, I has devoted
myself to creating children's story books and illustrations. The World
Journal Newspaper has published eight of my children's stories. They are “A Girl Stole a Book” ,“Ran Away Cat”(series) , “The Cat on the Patio”, “The Poor Horse”,“A Little Girl Wrote the Diary”,“Cat Prince(series)”, “The Poor Artist in the Valley(series)”,, “Sea Cat”(series). Every story of mine is written to inspire children to be their best. My
writing is fine and delicate. When children read my stories and see my
cute, lively and bright pastel illustrations, they will feel as if they
have been transported to another wonderful fairy tale world.
Editor:
The book has been edited
by Mr. Rousso, my native born American husband, who revised this book
in American English. He has a doctor of law degree from the University
of Washington in Seattle,U.S.A.
Phoenix wrote a letter to parents and grandparents:
For you, what is the
most precious gift in the world? When you and your children read this
story, you will find out. There is nothing sweeter than the family love.
That is the moral of this story. Reading is a good way to cultivate
your children's better angels. In this story, they will learn about the brave spirit of Vegas and his love of his family and Susan’s kindness.
This book is for children age 6-12, but you also can read it for your children if they are under 6. I hope you and your children enjoy this book very much.
The inspiration of Sea Cat:
This story is inspired by Phoenix's two lovely cats, Orange and Vegas. Vegas looked like a gentlemen dressed in tuxedo. It was adopted from Human Society. Orange is white
as snow except for an orange spot on its back. It was a street cat but
Phoenix decided to adopt it after it visited her many times. Orange and
Vegas came from different families but they loved each other very much like brother and sister. Therefore, Phoenix writes this special warm feeling into this book.
