More about Adventure Cats: A Choose Your Cat Adventure
Five heroes. One curse. Endless cat-shaped chaos.
When a magical mishap turns a team of young adventurers into cats, their quest gets whiskered in a whole new direction. Trapped in feline form, they must navigate a world that suddenly seems a lot bigger, a lot furrier—and a lot more dangerous.
But here’s the twist:you choose which cat to follow. Will it be the brave warrior, the clever mage, the sneaky rogue, the loyal cleric, or the wild druid? Each path is a unique, action-packed adventure that leads to the same thrilling finale—where the fate of the world (and the cats) hangs in the balance.
With playful humor, heart-pounding battles, and plenty of purr-sonality, Adventure Cats is a fantasy quest you can read again and again—because every cat has its own story to tell.
Choose your hero. Follow your path. Save the world. (And maybe catch a nap in a sunbeam or two.)
Adventure Cats: A Choose Your Cat Adventure is designed for kids ages 9 - 13. But fantasy (and cat) lovers of all ages will find plenty to love in these pages.
I've made this book with reluctant readers in mind. Each chapter is short and easy to read. And, with more cats' stories to discover, this book can be read and re-read to improve comprehension and ignite that love for reading.

Well, I am an 8-time Honorable Mention Winner from the Writers of the Future contest. Worldbreaker: An Eldros Legacy Novel won the Utah Author’s League 2024 Recommended Read Award. I write novels, comic books, screenplays, and short stories. My most recent series, Min the Mighty, began as a bedtime story I told my kids and has become a fan favorite.
When I'm not writing, I walk for hours and hours, chasing the sunrise. I also play intense rounds of Marvel Splendor and Fortnite with my three kids. My favorite evenings are spent watching Korean zombie shows with my husband who jump-scares quite easily.
Bobbi Conway Bobbi is a freelance motion graphics animator and illustrator. I discovered Bobbi when I found some adorable cat stickers at the Utah Ren Fest, only to find out she was the illustrator of them. The stickers inspired this story and I was lucky enough to get to hire Bobbi to do all of the illustrations in this book (cover, chapter headings, full illustrations, and even the map)!
Chris Hayes Chris is a Senior Artist at Blizzard Entertainment and Creative Director at The Dungeon Society. I met Chris at another local Utah event (Utah Retro Game Expo) and we hit it off immediately. Chris did the phenomenal title illustration (that wooden shield MAKES the cover).
I'm so grateful and humbled to get to work with such extraordinary artists!
Adventure Cats: A Choose Your Cat Adventure is written. The art complete. The layout done. All that remains is to print copies and distribute them to you.
While this is my first Backerkit campaign, I am not new to shipping books to readers. I've been doing so for three years now and am excited to send each book with care and attention to detail.
It's possible that unforeseen circumstances will arise. But if they do, I will find prompt solutions and communicate freely with each of you so you know exactly what to expect.
