Cat Speak (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780998645179)

Rich Grimes is a retired high school principal who devotes much of his time to researching and writing - endeavors he greatly enjoys. He conducts writing workshops to encourage, teach, and support aspiring authors. Also, utilizing his exceptional oratorical skills and sense of humor, he conducts storytelling - reading books and poetry to elementary school children who respond enthusiastically to his wit and wisdom. Serving mankind and animals is a priority evidenced by his participation as a hospice, youth, and feline volunteer. Recently he was hired to coach girls' basketball at Foothill Technical High School in the Ventura USD. Rich has authored six published books including Classroom Under Construction, Angel in my Backpack, Old - Stories of Aging and Reflections on Caregiving, Cat Speak (recently released) and two children's works, Animal Friends and Heather and Buddy Go to School which contain brilliant images created by talented illustrator, Cathy Quiel. Rich's writing reflects an interest in diverse topics in both fiction and non-fiction genres with one common component; all are works of "heart". Two more children's books are in the works to complete the Heather and Buddy trilogy. Heather and Buddy Go to the Zoo is next and due for publication in 2018. Rich is blessed with two beautiful, grown daughters, and four adorable grandchildren. More information about his books can be found at http: //www.richgrimesbooks.com/
