Gwen Tarpley is a trans author and illustrator currently residing in Seattle, WA. Contrary to belief, she actually enjoys all the rain and welcomes the “dark time”. Most days she can be found with her two cats, sipping coffee, and defying gender norms. Her work on Cat’s Cafe originally began in December of 2017 and has since reached millions of readers and has published two books, CAT’S CAFE and ONE CUP AT A TIME. Gwen’s next book, ALL ARE WELCOME, publishes in 2025.
