Terry Ayrault

I am a chief creative officer at a medium-sized ad agency in the Midwest. I'm married and have two kids. I like kittens but I don't like cats. Cats bother me because they seem so stuck on themselves. It's like, get over it, cats. I don't even like the stage play, "Cats." But, I love bacon. I was, however, caught off guard at a petting zoo once when I saw a pig being fed breakfast scraps that included bacon. That's not the circle of life. It's the circle of cannibalism. Anyway, I find clowns frightening and I think that stems from a painful childhood memory of a clown incessantly honking a bike horn at a small town parade. I do like writing though. I've written award-winning music, commercials, screenplays, tv shows and more. I'm a bit A.D.D. when it comes to how I write. But, it's a lifestyle with which I've become comfortable. Unlike cats and clowns, with which I'll never be comfortable. Oh, and don't even get me started on people who dress their cats like clowns. Ew. I write books that I think were meant to be shared. Children's books with clever words and rhymes that encourage parents to read with their kids--not to their kids. I really want my books to be enjoyed by people and discussed by people. Not read and put away, never to come off the shelf again. You can see some of my future books on my website: https://www.wildaminalbooks.com
