We'd love to get to know you better. Take a moment to say "Hi" to the community in the comments. We are the creators of the Marvin the Math Cat Books series, Heather and Nick Blackburn, from Canada's East Coast! We have two precious rescue cats who help inspire our cat characters. Pictured below is Spartacus who we found starving in the woods when he was about 1 years old. He became our inspiration for Marvin the Cat! With his sophisticated regal cattitude, I'm sure someday he'll be solving mysteries and math equations! :)
