I hope you’re all enjoying your summers. I’ve been working on some writing projects and taking day trips as well as planning a longer one soon. I’ve cut back on a few promos this month but I do have a few things scheduled.
On August 26 at 7 pm EST, I’ll be moderating and participating in a pet author panel with other members of the Cat Writers’ Association for my library’s summer reading program event. Since it will take place virtually in Zoom, anyone can attend. Click here to register.

I’m also happy to announce that my cat book of poetry, “Meows and Purrs: A Collection of Cat Poems” has been accepted by Next Chapter Publishing. While there is not release date yet, it should be out soon. Below is a sample poem from the book. The cover image may not be the final one for the published copy.

MINI PANTHER
Mini Panther
Dark as night
Golden eyes shining bright.
Tame yet wild
Stalking prey
On a string I wave.
Crouching low
Ready to spring
At the sound
Of the catfood tin.
Mini Panther
Sleek and slim
Sturdy body, long lean limbs
Tiny black kitten
Now full grown
My Mini Panther guards our home.
*This poem is dedicated to Harry, my handsome and friendly mini panther.
Harry’s quite an impressive panther! Love the poem!
