Reviews
"…. appealing illustrations which are whimsical but tempered with a dash of quirky, Edward Gorey-style grimness." - ilovebooks.com
"The story made me keep turning the pages till the very end, as the writing generates beauty through its simplicity. The plot bears features of an allegory, as it contains several levels of understanding. This book can be read and enjoyed as a simple tale woven around an alley-cat, although it has a deeper layer of ideas inter-twined in it. The themes are presented just as parts of the world it describes ..... the writing denotes wit, subtle humor and even cynicism towards the absurdities found in the human world. The story is strewn with illustrations which contribute considerably to the artistic value of this piece of writing." - Rated 5 stars by Readers' Favorite
Book
Restless with the material comforts at home, Haee ventures out and meets a middling cat, Whie. Fascinated by Whie’s way of life and driven by a need to establish some form of discipline, Haee creates a new set of rules for all the middling cats living in the alley. Over time, Haee starts to question the soundness of his rules and the need for them.
Scathing, but fair, cat Haee is as ordinary, average and conventional as it gets. But he represents the insecure and non-committal persona present in many of us today.

R.S. Vern is the creator of book trilogy series: Haee and the Other Middlings. The 1st part of this series won the International IndieReader Discovery Award in 2013.
An oddly conflicted soul, she finds herself constantly torn between the challenges of saving the world and the realities of making a living. She calls herself a middling – urbanised, uneased, and most of the time, in a flux.
Haee is a real cat living in her home. Instead of writing as herself, she feels that it is less brutal seeing life through the eyes of a cat.
R.S. Vern holds a B.A. in English Literature, an M.A. in Communications, and a G.D. in Applied Positive Psychology.
