Vinny the Kitty's Great Tomato

"Handwritten thank you letters is a lost art. I love writing thank you letters by hand. It's a genuine response of gratitude and lets the receiver know you truly appreciate their kindness." April Iliano published her first children's picture book at the age of 50. She discovered her love of writing at 11 when she was assigned to write a Thanksgiving paragraph that turned into a one-page story at school, but it wasn't until her forties that April began her journey to becoming a published author. When she isn't writing or working, she enjoys volunteering in her community, crafting, baking, reading novels, and watching movies. She also enjoys spending time with her family and friends, and her kitty, Vinny, her inspiration. April lives on the west side of Cleveland, Ohio in the quaint little village of Old Brooklyn with her boyfriend, and their two cats, Fluffy and Vinny.
