Howdy! My name is Kent Butler. I own Butler Marketing Group, which owns Catnip Chronicles and Personal Puzzles (custom-made crossword puzzles). I live in Lexington, South Carolina, with my best friend, my wife Lee, and our three rescue cats: Spike, Princess Fluffybutt, and Rascal, The Night Stalker.

We became cat people in 2001, when two 5-week-old handfuls of feline fluff entered our lives (Lee brought them home...) - which have never been the same since. It seems Mama Barn Tabby was fed up with motherhood and began to kill her litter. The inappropriately-named Spike and Molly were two of the survivors (obviously). We lost Mr. Molly in the fall of 2003 to FLUTD. Princess joined our family in March 2004 and is a delightful (and seriously spoiled) diva.

Early in November 2004, we were thinking about our little diva's need for a better playmate than Spike - who naps a lot between long rests. So, we went to PetSmart on a Saturday to see the shelter cats there every week. We just went to look...

Lee picked up a little gray kitten, who began purring like a blender. She said, "What do you think, Honey?". What I thought, of course, was irrelevant, Rascal had already chosen her. He joined our family that very afternoon.

Marketing, sales, and management have been my primary career activities, but I've been writing and editing for many years. I own a successful offline business and do some freelance writing and copy editing. As an editor, they call me "The Nitpicker" - you can imagine...

I've been with companies large (huge) and small, and learned lots from some truly fine people. And, other lessons from some real creeps. Ah well, to live is to learn (one hopes). One of the most important lessons I ever learned is that the best things in life aren't things... and I try to keep learning.

Publishing a free digital magazine will never make me rich in monetary terms, but that's not the point. I'm already rich in the things that really matter - the Lord has blessed me generously.

Speaking of editing (I was - above...), I tackled the entrancing subject of punctuation and wrote a small guide you might find useful - or not. Anyway, it's called Punctuation Power and can be downloaded as a free Adobe PDF file HERE.

If you have a question, drop me a line and we'll talk: Email me.

If it's really driving you crazy, you can call me at the number below - please remember the time zone differences.

Thanks for stopping by!

Best regards,

Kent
