WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE

Hello and thank you for visiting my website. Cats change people. I know that. Writing about Cleo and Jonah, the two felines in our family’s life, has brought many happy surprises.

When Cleo was released in 2009 I was honoured it was so warmly received around the world. Half a million copies and 16 languages later, Cleo is poised to become a major motion picture by South Pacific Pictures (makers of The Whale Rider).

It’s a thrill knowing the sequel, Cats and Daughters (called After Cleo Came Jonah in Australasia), is being embraced by critics and readers alike.

None of it would’ve possible without readers like you. Thank you for your willingness to open your heart and step into my world. And a bow to the magical felines who bring laughter and healing to so many lives.

Happy browsing.

I Married My Cat...And My Husband!

Cats and Daughters (After Cleo Came Jonah)

"An intimate memoir about one woman and her relationship with her cat and family... [Brown] writes eloquently about the bonds that exist between women of all ages... a pleasant and moving story of love and identity among mothers, daughters and felines." Kirkus Reviews.

“A Must Read” The Lady UK

This is the story of how one cat leads to another, that rebellious felines and daughters have more in common than you might think. And how I learned compromise and medication can be okay.

For all those people who say they aren’t cat people but deep down know they are, this is the story of how a small black cat padded into our lives at a time when we most needed help.  I thought a kitten was the last thing we needed, but Cleo proved how wrong I was.
