About the Book
Welcome to the world of Biscuit and Max, an unlikely pair of four-legged philosophers who share a home, a family, and a unique perspective on the human experience. Biscuit, the fluffy white dog with wisdom beyond his years, and Max, the cat who believes he's a dog, invite you into their thoughtful conversations and heartwarming adventures.
These stories explore the special bond between pets and their humans through the eyes of our animal protagonists. From contemplating the purpose of rain on a dreary afternoon to debating the merits of their favorite toys, Biscuit and Max offer insights into loyalty, friendship, and finding joy in life's simple pleasures.
You'll meet the family they love—Dad, Mom, and the kid who anchors their world—along with memories of Duke, the wise old dog whose legacy lives on in Biscuit's gentle guidance. Through their observations of everyday moments and occasional philosophical musings, these stories reveal the profound connections that exist between all living beings.
Whether you're a dog person, a cat person, or simply someone who appreciates the quiet wisdom animals bring to our lives, these tales offer a chance to see the world from a fresh perspective—from about two feet off the ground. Curl up in your favorite spot, perhaps with your own four-legged friend nearby, and enjoy these glimpses into the rich inner lives of creatures who observe us with love, curiosity, and occasional amusement.
After all, sometimes the greatest insights come from those who speak without words.
About the Author
Even before earning my degree, I was knee-deep in tech—helping individuals and businesses turn ideas into working solutions. My career has taken me through medical data systems, pharmaceutical logistics, academic platforms, and blockchain development. From implementing transcription and reporting tools to modernizing Point of Sale systems and building university web platforms, I’ve always enjoyed solving real problems with smart, adaptable code.
Alongside my professional path, I’ve cultivated a passion for writing. I author programming-oriented books aimed at helping university students bridge theory with practical application—always keeping the content clear, relevant, and approachable. On the lighter side, I indulge in crafting small fictional stories, inspired by the comical lives of the two hilariously expressive pets I live with. These tales are simple, observational sketches where animals are given human thoughts, personalities, and quirks.
Whether it’s guiding a student through their first lines of code or giving a voice to a philosophizing house cat, I’m happiest when I’m building something that connects, teaches, or simply entertains.
