She has the sultry voice of a temptress and the impact of an oncoming train. She’s Talk. She’s Rock. She’s Alley Cat, KTUNE’s hottest DJ and the sexy feline all SLO-town’s listening to.
“She’s got something for everyone,” says the program director of KTUNE. “The girls appreciate her direct answers to sticky questions; the boys fantasize about her looks. We predict you’ll be hearing her on KTUNE for a long, long time.”
Hearing, yes. Seeing, no. So far, Alley Cat has turned down all public appearances. Is this just hype? Or is she a scaredy-cat?
Lee Wardlaw swears that her first spoken word was 'kitty'. Since then, she's shared her life with 30 cats (not all at the same time!) and published 30 award-winning books for young readers, selling more than one million copies world wide.
Lee's books include Won Ton - A Cat Tale Told in Haiku, winner of the Lee Bennett Hopkins Children's Poetry Award and the Myra Cohn Livingston Poetry Award (among others); Won Ton and Chopstick, an NCTE Notable Poetry Book; and 101 Ways to Bug Your Friends and Enemies, recipient of the 2012 Forward National Literature Award for Humor.
Lee has a B.A. in Education, an AMI-Primary Diploma from the Montessori Institute of San Diego, and is finishing her M.Ed.
A former teacher, Lee continues to keep up-to-date with children, tweens, and teens by presenting frequently at schools, libraries, bookstores, and conferences. She lives in Santa Barbara, CA, with two dog-disdaining cats.
