Author Cowan lifelong fascination with the intersection of the everyday and the extraordinary became the wellspring for her literary career. Growing up, she embraced the mantra, “The greatest stories often begin with the quietest dreams,” a sentiment that shaped her early writings and her ultimate pivot to children’s fiction. Her background studies gave her the unique view necessary to create worlds that were both extremely imaginative and full of universal truths about connection and kindness.

The character of Marcella represents a significant moment in the evolution of Cowan. This story about a determined cat has not only been the one to proclaim her voice as the master of whimsical, character-driven narrative but has also been the major result of her years spent refining her craft. Cowan does not only want to entertain the readers but also to share a little warmth, wishing to make them look for the “magic hidden in their own backyards” through her writings. Cobwebs and friends are currently in the process of having their adventures further developed by the author, thus, indicating many more heartwarming trips in the future.
