Cristine Caton started her career as an elementary school teacher in St. Louis Missouri. She taught for 7 years before going on to other ventures. She ended her career as the owner of a print and copy shop where she did the layout and design for her customers using various computer graphics programs.

After retiring she decided to put both of these careers together to create the series of children’s pictures called The Adventures of Cefa the Cat. Cris did the writing and worked on the illustrations using her computer skills while her cousin, Judy Ryan, drew the characters and facial expressions.

The Adventures of Cefa the Cat is internet collaboration in the true sense of the word. Pictures were sent via email and put into a graphics program for finishing touches. After much writing and editing, drawing and redrawing, changing and rearranging the final product was uploaded to the print-on-demand website, Create Space.
Working together Cefa the Cat became a reality.

Cefa’s stories are based on the adventures of the Caton’s second Russian Blue cat. He was full of energy and got into a variety of sticky situations which made for some funny stories.

Cristine is also learning how to create interactive books for the iPad. Her first Interactive Book are Andy’s Day on the Farm and Hector Goes to School. Both are published in the iBook store at Apple. She is planning on making the Cefa series into animated books too.

All of Cristine’s stories are a great read for elementary students who can read by themselves or by parents for those little ones who don’t know how to read yet. They are working on the additional book in the series.
