More WorksNine Minutes with Cat Bauer
Nine Minutes with Cat Bauer by Emma Qualls Emma Qualls is a seventeen-year-old senior at St. Charles North High School in Chicago, Illinois. October 9th. Not a significant date in the minds of most people, but in the world of Harley Columba, the ninth of October is everything. And, if you ask me, Emma Qualls, about October 9th, I will give you the same response as Harley: It's John Lennon's birthday. It is also the date of Harley's latest adventure Harley's Ninth. Harley was created by the voice of reality itself, Cat Bauer. Bauer, currently a resident of Venice, Italy, allowed me to create a one-on-one connection with her, something I've dreamed about since I was eleven-years-old. CAT'S PICKS

"8:00 A.M. It is the ninth and I am five days late" is the first sentence of HARLEY'S NINTH, the continuing story of Harley Columba, which takes place in all one day, October 9th, John Lennon's birthday. Harley is now 16-years old and living in New York City. Before her first art exhibit opens in Chelsea that evening, she journeys with her father back to their hometown of Lenape Lakes, New Jersey where they are forced to confront the world they tried to leave behind.
