Billie Dixon

Billie Dixon is really the caretaker, to the extent that cats need care-taking, of Bootsie, a real cat who lives with her in a small town called Tucker, near Atlanta.  Bootsie was a Christmas present from Billie’s mother.  By day Billie repairs electronic music equipment (the better to buy cat food.)  On nights and weekends she paints watercolor pictures in addition to illustrating and writing children’s books.  WHERE DID BOOTSIE GO? is her first children’s book publication.  Bootsie really did disappear for three weeks and came back just fine.  She had lost no weight, and her coat was smooth and shiny.  Billie had to wonder, where did she go?  The illustrations for Bootsie book are all done in watercolor. 

 When Billie is not working or painting, or playing with her cat, she likes to cook and have friends over for dinner, particularly when she can use fresh fruits and vegetables from my garden, where Bootsie enjoys playing.
