Because it was Real History I kept writing like I would when I was doing professional teaching/degree things. And I didn't want that because I wanted this to be FUN.<br /><br />So I finally decided to just do it in my teaching "voice" - how I lectured to college students. The best way to help people learn is entertain them. So there's humor, some esoteric movie references, etc.Susanne Savillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765213850455904878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-58362090633486608992010-11-29T15:28:32.281-05:002010-11-29T15:28:32.281-05:00Thanks Karen, I appreciate that!! :)Thanks Karen, I appreciate that!! :)Susanne Savillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765213850455904878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-72002148097099035542010-11-29T15:27:19.094-05:002010-11-29T15:27:19.094-05:00Hi Joder,

You're *warm*!!" ).<br /><br />I did a little book called <b>CatSpotting</b> that contains historical vignettes about cats- like one cat who saved his owner from her abusive husband - and quotes from cat lovers across time.Susanne Savillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765213850455904878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-25927007238245395062010-11-29T15:17:45.400-05:002010-11-29T15:17:45.400-05:00Thanks, Sandy and Linda!!
