Felix and Carol Ann Whelan live in rural Missouri with their 17 year old daughter, Kathryn (Kate), their 11 year old son, Conner, and (at last count) twenty or so dogs, cats, chickens, sheep and goats overgrowing their one acre hobby farm. They are vegetarians surrounded by cattle farmers, Catholics surrounded by Protestants, and ex-city slickers transplanted to a town that will never completely trust anyone whose great grandparents weren’t born there…
The first book in Felix’s Children of the Good series was released on Holy Thursday, 2014, by NuEvan Press. Subscribe to the author's blog at FelixWhelan.com to receive updates on future volumes in the series
Felix is the co-author, alongside his beautiful wife Carol Ann, of the I Can’t Believe It’s Vegan! cookbook series. Most volumes are just 99 cents for your Kindle, so check them out on Amazon. Vegetarian, but not vegan? Us, too. For a shot of good old fashioned vegetarian Midwest comfort cooking, try I Can’t Believe It’s Not Tuna!: 55 Vegetarian Recipes for Mock Tuna Casseroles, Sandwiches, Melts, Burgers, Salads, Pasta Dishes, and More! – also written with Carol Ann. To quote Amazon reviewer Lisa Bunny, “Books like this make being vegetarian fun.”
Felix is also the founder of two publishing imprints:
eSaint Library makes available the great works of the Saints and other classics of Catholic spirituality, published in affordable, colorfully illustrated editions formatted for pleasurable study on a variety of today’s eReader devices. eSaint Library also develops original anthologies derived from the writings of the Saints and other great Holy People of the Church, focused on specific themes of Catholic Doctrine and life.
Better Days Books publishes quality reprint editions of classic American non-fiction books, focusing on titles that uniquely capture the spirit of the 18th, 19th and early 20th Centuries – times when courage, self-reliance, clean living and upright moral virtue defined the common character of the American People. Better Days Books publications focus primarily on traditional skills, homestead knowledge, and old fashioned holiday customs and traditions.
Last, but not least, Felix blogs about Creativity, Culture, and All Things Catholic at FelixWhelan.com.
