The Hero and Muse, Leo

Leo was a very sweet stray cat who lived with the author for most of 2021. He’d lived his whole life in a rural valley near Eugene, Oregon. He was a kind gentle boy who loved watching all the birds in his new home. He enjoyed loving snuggles, lots of food, and was the inspiration for this series.
