Hello and welcome to The Black Cat Press, an independent publisher run out of Muncie, Indiana. The company is powered by the author/illustrator team of Zachary Ryan Allen and Haley N. It was founded in 2012, when Zachary and Haley came up with the idea to collaborate on a series of storybooks based on the works of L. We are still quite a small little company but we hope to bring you some great boo
ks for you and the whole family to cherish for years to come. While we are starting out with storybooks, you never know where we may end up! Original novels, children's books, and nonfiction works are never out of the question. Stay tuned as we bring you updates on our works and sneak peaks of illustrations and more! Zachary Ryan Allen, our resident author, is a native of Shelbyville, Indiana. He recently graduated from Ball State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in both English education and theatrical studies. An avid reader and literature enthusiast, Zachary has always wanted to create and publish his own works. He is very excited to start the adventure with his very favorite story, the one that sparked his love of literature, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Dillon, the artist-in-chief, hails from Logansport, Indiana. She is currently studying art education at Ball State University. Art is Haley's number one passion in life and has been at it since she was quite young. She is also a book lover who has been captivated by the way written word and visual art may be married in a single work. She loves the idea of taking part in the creative process, bringing text to life with vibrant, imaginative images.
