Keith Nichols, author of the Cat Land series,

Keith was born in Tacoma, Washington and is the youngest son out of 16 children. His father was the last operating blacksmith for Burlington Northern on the west coast and his mother is an accomplished artist. Mr. Nichols first published book, The Ghost of Jack Woodford, was released in 2003.

After looking for a suitable subject matter for many years Nichols finally settled on young adult and children’s books simply for the fun of writing them. His partner, Midnight the Rescue Panther, is a large 23-pound house cat with Pulitzer plans. Mr. Nichols lives in Missouri in a house filled with spoiled animals and his lovely wife.
