Marysue, enjoys song writing, taking photos, drawing, painting, singing. She is an entrepreneur, currently with an online merchant marketing affiliate business, a web site builder. She likes to help others with their creative projects and centers it around her family, friends, pets.
She's always loved reading. It was because of her love of reading that Marysue knew even at an early age what she wanted to be when she grew up, a published author.
Marysue loves all animals, especially small furry ones! And she loves children. The Purple Power Cats Ventures books was a natural. Though these stories and other children‘s stories she has written, Marysue feels that she can put a smile on a child’s face. She also hopes to make reading fun for children and that’s pretty special.
Marysue's newest addition is Zero the Hero which she co-authored with Bob Bakalish.
The Purr-ple Power Cats Ventures
Have you ever seen two, plush, purple-furred cats, wearing
fashionable purple boots, hot wigs with glitter shades to match,
singing the oldies and original songs on a bicycle-built-for-two?
These purple, sister cats, Razzle and Dazzle, pedal down an endless
cobblestone pathway, trying to make the world a better place with
all the animal folk they encounter on their journey.
Their Purr-ple Cat destiny is to hand out gemstones to others
to use appropriately, for goodness sakes, joy, honesty and peace.
Along with good manners, of course.

“Did you hear the grapevine gossip? Oh my,”
the witch sighs, with woe.
“It’s so unkind.
“The town folks say that I’m a witch who brags, I’m glad to be bad.
“That’s not true,” she adds.
“Fiddlesticks,” said the witch.
“I have to fix this mad mess of mine.”
“I can't deny it,” the sad witch said.
“Why, oh my, am I thought of as bad in this neighborhood?
“Somehow I must turn this bad gossip to good, although there’s no
rhyme or reason for bad gossip.
“Oh my,” the witch sighs. “This just isn't pleasing.”
“That’s true,” she adds.
“Hey now, that’s right.
“It’s time to read the book, to find out what will be achieved
“If you don’t, you will be sneezing Ah-Ah-Achoo!”
Zero the Hero
Story by Bob
Bakalish and MarysueIllustrations by Elyse Whittaker-Paek
Zero the Hero is a story of how we are all different and special and yet all the same at the same time. It is Zero's first day at "symbol school". He becomes aware of others prejudices against him, and his own prejudices against those who are not like him. But rather than succumbing to the prejudices Zero is able to come to a higher understanding and make a difference in his world.
This wonderful story is told in symbolic form, giving each reader a chance to find different lessons about individual responsibilities, cliques, and community.
