Dear Reader,

At first glance, cats and cryptids may seem like an unusual pairing, but both speak to something deep and enduring within is - our fascination with the mysterious, the unseen, and the powerful presences that share our world.  These books are an exploration of that space where the familiar meets the unknown.  

I have a deep respect for stories of the natural world, for folklore, and for the enduring bond between creatures that move through our lives. If you are reading this, it means that these stories have found a home, and for that, I am profoundly grateful.  

With much respect,

Andy Van Dyke
