Words Matter.
Welcome! I’m Doug Bayliss — author, storyteller, and creator of the Whiskers Adventure series, the Bronto Brothers, and many other tales for curious minds of all ages. Over the years, I’ve blended imagination with life experience to create stories filled with friendship, humor, and heart.
Whiskers Adventure Series
Meet Whiskers — a curious, white, fluffy cat with bright green eyes who always seems to be in the middle of the adventure. Along with her human friends Lily and Max — and the tiny alien Lyra — Whiskers explores holidays, solves mysteries, and discovers the magic hidden in everyday life.
Books in the Series:
- Whiskers’ Christmas Adventure – On Christmas Eve, Whiskers discovers three tiny aliens in the attic, and the Johnson family’s quiet holiday turns into an unforgettable celebration of friendship and wonder.
- Whiskers Goes to School – When Lyra hides in Lily’s backpack, Whiskers follows… and the school day quickly becomes a hilarious mix of classroom chaos, quick thinking, and unexpected heroics.
Coming Soon:
- Whiskers and the Valentine Mystery
- Whiskers’ Springtime Surprise
Fun Fact: Plush Whiskers toys and other merchandise are in the works — perfect for little fans who want to take the adventures home.
Bronto Brothers
The Bronto Brothers series blends prehistoric fun with clever problem-solving to spark curiosity in young readers. Each book is a self-contained adventure, but together they tell the story of dinosaur friends navigating challenges big and small — from pirate mysteries to patriotic parades.
