Deborah Gregory is the author of the Catwalk trilogy, the second of which Catwalk: Strike A Pose is currently purring. The entire Catwalk trilogy(Laurel-Leaf imprint, division of Random House) will be published on September 13th 2011) in a special OMNI edition ($9.99).

Gregory is also the author creator producer of the wildly popular franchise, The Cheetah Girls, which consists of 26 books, three Disney Channel original movies, three nationwide 88-city concert tours, extensive spotty merchandise and ferocious fans around the globe. The inspiration for the CATWALK book series comes from Gregory's background as a graduate of Fashion Institute of Technology and a former runway model in Europe as well as a plus-size designer and boutique owner (Toto in New York...Fun In Larger Sizes which was located on West Broadway in Soho). Actually, the larger than life leopard clad character of Galleria's Mom, Dorothea Garibaldi (DG) in The Cheetah Girls is Gregory herself as is her pooch Cappuccino who plays the Cheetah Girls mascot, Toto (Toto who slept in the store window in his cheetah bed was the original inspiration and may he RIP). Gregory was raised in the foster care system under ACS in New York City and aged out of the system at 18. Thus, the inspiration for the adult novel she is currently writing about a girl who ages out of the foster care system in the Bronx and is trapped in New York's underworld until she finds a way to reinvent herself and find redemption. Gregory lived in Paris, Firenze and Milan as a runway model. She currently lives in Manhattan with her pooch Cappuccino, her second adorable, feisty bichon frise pooch.

Best Cheetah Girls book YET!!,
By Courtney (Cincinnati, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cheetah Girls, The: Growl Power Forever: Bind-Up #3 - Books #9-12 (Cheetah Girls, 3) (Paperback)
Hey I'm Courtney.I just finished reading this book and it was great!! The story of 5 girls trying to find their dreams of becoming a famous singing group is very inspiring to young girls every where who want to follow their own dreams. My favorite story in this combined book is Show down at the Okie Dokie.If you read all the cheetah girl books before this one you'll know that aqua and angie went to houston for Thanksgiving and they went to an audition for a houston helps its own concert starring Karmas Children.They get an opening spot and the rest of the cheetahs come down for the concert. They sing it's raining benjamins which was inspired by a dream chanel had where it was raining money had but they used some of the lyrics the Cash Money Girls (CMG) used in their song. And before they know it CMG is out to get the Cheetahs for bitin at they flava!!I'm not gonna tell you the rest cuz you should read this great book and the other two combined books!!So far I have all 3 combined books and I'm hoping there is a 4th one. Please run to Borders NOW and get this book!!

Nicole's Review,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Cheetah Girls, The: Growl Power Forever: Bind-Up #3 - Books #9-12 (Cheetah Girls, 3) (Paperback)
I was reading The Cheetah Girls books 9 and 10. I liked them, because they are about The Cheetah Girls' lives. Also I watched The Cheetah Girls movie, so I wanted to read their book.
This book is about these 5 girls who are in the music business. Their names are Galleria (Bubbles), Chanel (Chuchie), Dorinda (Do' Ra Mi), Anginette (Angie), and Aquanette (Aqua). The first book was about the show down at Okey Dokey. There are these girls that thinks the Cheetah Girls stole their song (Which they did) and they were being mean and rude. The second book was about Chanel trying to get into American Ballet Theater and if you want to hear more then read the book!! I think a pretty good reader could understand these types of books. Now don't forget, there are 8 more books behind these books and you should read the other books first before you read these 4. And don't worry that it looks long because there are 4 books in 1 and if you see this type of book then look on the front cover and it will most likely tell you that it is, 1-4,5-8 or even what I am reading, 9-12! So don't panic if you see a book like this. I panicked when I saw that. I even said, "I can't finish all that in a month!" but I know now.
3.0 out of 5 stars
