Meet Kellie

Kellie has always been a writer. When she wrote her first book, "When on the Road to Enlightenment, Don't Forget to Take out the Trash" she realized first-hand the obstacles facing any unknown author. After researching various publishers and even more self-publishing options she decided to start her own publishing company...a different kind of publishing company designed to put the author first.

Why "Ibbi"lane?   I've always done animal rescue.  I'd been very ill for quite some time and I'd decided not to rescue anything while I rescued myself.  One afternoon I heard tiny little "mews" coming from the hillside behind my home at the time.  A friend went out to investigate so I could stay in bed.  A short time later they came back with a paper bag containing one very tiny newborn kitten, covered in ants.  Apparently the mother cat had a kitten every ten feet or so and hadn't even bothered to clean them up.  This kitten was the only survivor.  She still had the amniotic sac around her but had managed to get her head out so she could breathe.  As sick as I was I couldn't imagine the work raising a newborn kitten would be.  But I did and she lived for 21 years.  She got the name Ibbi because I would ask my goddaughter where the "itty bitty kitty" was.  Fairly obvious how that was turned into Ibbi.  I've always been a dog person.  But making that tiny kitten live made me live again too.  Truly she saved me as much as I saved her.
