Meet The Author, Steve Zimick

My name is Steve Zimick, a 3-time published children's book author inspired by my loving tabby cat, Mr. Mau. We adopted one another a few years back and are the best of buddies. Mr. Mau is such a funny cat that I just had to place into words what he — we — were doing together, to maybe inspire children somehow!

Not just about love, friendship, and learning, but about real-life characters and life experiences we may encounter in the real world around us!

I grew up in the countryside in the Town of Maine, just outside Wausau in the state of Wisconsin. As a child I was always around many pets — cats and dogs were so funny and yet interesting, somehow encouraging a dreamer like me to put into words what I was experiencing!

The support from my loving wife, family and friends, along with all of our furry family buddies, has become an adventure itself in our loving forever family home! This love became the starting of a 9-adventure book series: Mr. Mau Adventures!

I am proud to say my books are made in the USA and support jobs here in the states. More importantly, I am active with our local Marathon County Humane Society and animal rescue. Please adopt a pet from one of your local shelters.

Be sure to watch for more whimsical adventures to come yearly. Because children are our future — through books, open up a world of magical experiences! I hope you will continue to enjoy the Mr. Mau Adventure series books for many years to come!

The Real Mr. Mau

Mr. Mau is Steve's real-life tabby cat — the heart and soul behind every adventure. His funny, lovable personality inspired a 9-book series that brings joy, friendship, and life lessons to young readers everywhere.
