Dr. Norene Moskalski can often be found enjoying the beaches of the Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, collecting sea glass, weathered minerals, unusual shells, and artifacts from colonial shipwrecks. A naturalist and environmentalist by nature, and a medical diagnostician by avocation, she has a Ph.D. in Higher Education Administration and has held administrative and teaching positions at Penn State University and Temple University. She has spent most of her life preparing administrators and teachers to lead and teach ethically with love and respect for everyone. The settings for her novels are authentic vignettes from university campuses and places around the world she has visited. Each novel presents a variation on a theme, using literary techniques and musical innuendos to move the action forward. Her plots revolve around the unexpected: What if the most beautiful things in the world are the most dangerous?
Words for Cats is her nonfiction book that was inspired by her love for animals. Research has shown that an adult cat has the equivalence of a two year old human toddler's ability to learn language. How do people speak to their toddlers? Norene developed a teaching method for cats based on how we speak to toddlers, the neurology of human and cat brains, and how a mother cat teaches her kittens to learn communication skills.
