While the Cat's Away

Margot loved books about witchcraft, magic, and enchanted beings when she was a child and she's very glad to be writing about a witch now -- especially one with as good a wardrobe as Sabrina! Two of Margot's favorite books for young readers are The Pushcart Wars by Jean Merrill and Charlotte's Web by E. B. White. Margot lives in New York City, where she was born and raised. She has studied ballet for many years and used to be a modern dancer.

Margot's first cat, Rosie, was a very dark calico who had been abandoned at the vet's office at the age of seventeen (over one hundred in human years). "I'd never had a cat before," Margot says, "but I knew this one was special, and she really needed me. I just had to take her home." Rosie died two years later, after lots of love and attention. Today, Margot has two cats. Snaporaz, a black tuxedo cat, belonged to a friend who moved away. She found Tigerlily, a super-friendly, mostly white calico, living on the streets of New York. They are best pals. Margot says, "I didn't get my first pet until I was over thirty years old. Now, I wouldn't be without one!"
