Caturday: One More Follow-Up on Cat Friends in Gaza (Cats in War)

Two weeks ago, our Caturday post focused on the plight of animals and their caregivers in war zones.  It focused as the first in a planned series on Animal Friends Shelter in Gaza City. 

Animal Friends Shelter

Last Saturday, we updated the information available from Tamir and Samir, two selfless cat godparents weathering the war in Gaza City (and, of course, beyond). 

This Caturday, we can report that we last heard from AFS yesterday. We know from the news reports that the Internet is not functioning in Gaza right now, but we hope and pray that AFS is able t continue caring for its family of cats, who, yesterday, were squabbling a bit over rationed food.  

Animal Friends Shelter is on Twitter: Animal Friends Shelter (@AnimalFriendsAF) / X (twitter.com)

And for those who wish to donate (AFS is a charity) to help -- PayPal.Me. Now, with an invasion going on and the Internet is down, donations may take a while to get through and supplies may not be readily available even with donations, but, golly, if everyone would risk just $10, it would make a huge difference. 

Sulala Animal Rescue

Sulala Animal Rescue has many dogs and some cats. They have taken in some animals from the streets but cannot help them all. Those animals they took in are dehydrated and hungry and, in some cases, have parasites. They are doing the best they can, given the situation. They are also sharing their food with other shelters/individuals trying to save the animals caught in war. Their page has pinned information about four ways in which non-residents can help them.

Mohamed Mosa Mo

Mo is doing his best to feed a large number of street cats and dogs in his Gaza City location. Rumors of his demise appear to be untrue since he posted as late as October 26, when he talked about the terror that the animals (and people of Gaza) were experiencing from the bombings and mentions that five members of his family (cousins) had been killed (perhaps a source of the mistaken information that Mo himself had been killed; he, so far, is safe). He happily accepts donations at:

We will cover each of these shelters and animal supporters in upcoming Caturday posts of Cats in War. (Yes, we know, Gaza is not the only place cats are living (or not) through wars. We will share the information on others in future Caturday posts.

In Memoriam: Carl Don Leaver

Image
  1948-2021 It is with great sadness that MSI Press notes the death of Carl Leaver, CEO of the Press and typesetter and graphic designer par excellence . Many authors have expressed not only condolences but also a sense of legacy from covers he designed that they love.  Here is his obituary: On August 16, 2021, Carl Don Leaver of San Juan Bautista passed into eternal rest. A forester with the US Forest Service in Idaho and Montana, he turned to nature photography while working in the Bitterroot National Forest. His photographs graced national magazine covers and on a weekly basis the local paper of Hamilton, MT, the Ravalli Republican. He later worked on photography projects for the US Army (AFEES) and taught photography at the New York Institute of Technology in Amman, Jordan. His final career change led him to computer graphics and publishing as co-owner of MSI Press LLC; his many typeset books and book covers have helped MSI Press authors win a large number of awards over the years,

A Publisher's Conversation with Authors: Book Marketing vs Book Promotion

Image
It is Tuesday. Monday's madness is over, and Wednesday will take us over the hump, so Tuesday it is--for some serious discussion with authors. Tuesday talks mean to address authors in waiting and self-published authors who would like to go a more traditional route or who would at least like to take their steps with a publisher by their side.  Today's post looks at the difference between book marketing and book promotion, two terms that are frequently confused. Leading to the confusion is that some of the same activities are needed for both. In fact, good marketing is dependent upon good promotion. Perhaps the essential difference is that marketing focuses on sales, and promotion focuses on awareness --  noting that without awareness, sales generally do not happen. Book Marketing Book marketing includes promotion, sales, and increasing awareness of the availability of the book. It generally starts with a marketing plan that identifies the target audiences and selects marketing t
