Here is Madek Uthurunku He lives in Hawaii.

Q 1. when did you decide you were going to write a young adult book?
A. I decided to write a children’s book in May of 2017.
Q 2. how did you come up with the name of your books
A. Coming up with the name of my book was not easy. I knew I wanted to make a kids book about surfing, I just didn’t know what my angle was going to be. I live on the island of Kauai in Hawaii. There are feral cats all over the beaches. It finally clicked that my book should be about these beach cats surfing different styles to teach kids. I thought it was fun irony because cats usually don’t like water.

Q 5. What advice would you give other authors?

Q 6. we're can people find you online?
A. My work can be found on Amazon and iBooks by searching: Surf Cats. Also Instagram @surfcatskauai, and my website: www.surfcatsbook.com
