Hello my dear readers!
I am happy to inform you that the April-June 2013 issue of The Cat's Meow for Writers & Readers Magazine, in its NEW! NEW! NEW! format, can be read by clicking on the word "Expand" above. The Cat's Meow for Writers & Readers Magazine is finally being brought to you as I, the owner & publisher, envisioned it all these years - as an actual electronic-magazine! All you have to do is click on the arrows in the middle of the page on the right-hand side and the page turns automatically for you, just like a Print Magazine or an Ebook; no more having to scroll all the way down!
I am awaiting your opinions and thoughts on my publication now being in actual magazine-format rather than in newsletter-format as it had been for the past 9 years, and as it is in the January-March 2013 issue, which is now in our Archives.
If you like The Cat's Meow for Writers & Readers in the magazine-format better, it would save me a lot of time creating it through the Issuu.com website rather than on this site. Thoughts please! Thanking you in advance.
Don't forget to visit our sister publication, Storytime Tapestry Ezine, right on this site temporarily!
Coming in the Future: our sister publication gets its very own website this September; just in time for Storytime Tapestry's 10th Anniversary! Plus, we'll have Games, Puzzles, and Giveaways through both publications' websites! Stay tuned . . .
Check out my current book, Mirrored Images by Rosanne Catalano, a collection of my poetry and short stories, (below) or in our "About" section of this site!
Also coming in the future: Escape & Redemption by Rosanne Catalano-Umland!
Mirrored Images
(A book of fiction & nonfiction short stories and poems)

Author and Publisher ROSANNE CATALANO is pleased to introduce her second book, Mirrored Images, because it is a quick read at only 71 pages! It is a book containing her collection of short stories, story articles and poems (some fiction, some fact) written by her for your reading enjoyment and for those who love guessing games.
“Mirrored Images” by Rosanne Catalano begins with a poem about, and dedication to, her late father and still-living-mother and goes into a short story about an experience with bullying in the eighth grade of school to being saved by a guardian angel when the story character was in her mid-30’s. An interesting read in which you, the reader, may want to guess which of her stories are fact or fiction…
Reviews of "Mirrored Images by Rosanne Catalano":
***** I purchased a copy of Rosanne Catalano’s book, Mirrored Images, and this short collection of short stories (you will have to try real hard to decide which are fact or fiction), articles and poetry, both touched my heart and made me smile. Rosanne’s book Mirrored Images is truly a great read! It touched me because of the love shown for her parents, God, and her husband. It touched me because I was the kid with glasses who was bullied and picked on and I could feel Rosanne's pain when it happened to her. It touched me because I have lost my parents and her tribute to her father, and mother, brought back all of the good times and love I had with/for my own parents. It touched me because Rosanne, as I feel so many of us are but never put it into words so eloquently, is a survivor. I believe we all have guardian angels and Mirrored Images proves it to all who will listen. No one but angels could have saved her from bullies in junior high school, have looked over her until she found the perfect mate, and still guide her to this day in her writing craft. These are stories we should not only want to read, enjoy reading, but they are stories we all need to hear. I get a glimpse of the love and courage that Rosanne shows, and shares, in her magazine--and our most welcome online correspondence. Rosanne is writing a continuation of Mirrored Images titled Escape and Redemption. I can't wait to read that! But first, my readers, you must read Mirrored Images.

***** I read Rosanne Catalano's book Mirrored Images and I love it! She had somewhat of a hard life in some areas and a good one in others. She had a lot of heartache, with the loss of friends early in her life, and the ridicule and horrendous behaviors of other kids when she was in junior high school. Though it sounds like Rosanne had a most wonderful Dad and Grandmother too; her grandmother reminded me so much of my own Grandmother who passed away last year! I enjoyed very much reading all of Rosanne's different short stories and the poems she included. I really loved reading about her little cheese episode in ‘Christmas With Grandma,’ and her little sneaky trek to the store thinking she could hurriedly fix what she had EATEN…LOL!!!! I LOVED IT--------- And I can still see her so clearly eating all of the cheese!!!! CONGRATULATIONS go out to Rosanne Catalano all the way around!! I will get her next book soon...I like her book’s title by the way, and the picture of Rosanne on the back cover; she looks sooo relaxed.
--Sandra Hoynacki; author & poet.
**** Rosanne Catalano's book, Mirrored Images, was a delightful read! I LOVED IT!!!! IF the abuse at school and all was about her, Rosanne has become a beautiful person and woman. I'm so glad she now has a wonderful spouse and that her life is presently filled with love.
--Carol Dee Meeks; author, poet & writer.
Rosanne Catalano’s next book, Escape and Redemption, will be a continuation of where Mirrored Images left off but as a crime fiction novel.
Escape and Redemption by Rosanne Catalano Coming Soon!
Synopsis of Escape & Redemption:
Rachelle Norris is escaping a painful past after being fired from her last job. She lands in the state of Delaware and meets Marie Gluck, a homeless woman whom Rachelle saves from dying of a heart attack - a "vision" the clairvoyant Rachelle had seen while driving her car but did not understand at first - changing Marie Gluck's future forever. Both Rachelle Norris and Marie Gluck are redeemed after opening up a small business and fighting for it against those who practice bullying, intimidation, and murder to get their imminent domains.
