Book

My sister and I have lived with many cats over the years. A cat that my sister was especially close to, named Pierre, was a talker. He talked so much that my sister started wondering what he was up to. Was he communicating with kitties outside? Did he have troops out there? What were they plotting?

These questions led us to do our own plotting, the result being our first novel, Pierre and the Rise of the Kitty Nation. Together, Donna and I created the plots and characters, then I fleshed it out and wrote the book. Here’s a bit about our story:

Complete with prison escapes, Halloween shenanigans, family reunions, a race of magical birds, and other exciting adventures, our story follows the heartwarming exploits of a cat named Pierre, who aims to give voice to kitties everywhere through his newly created “Kitty Nation.” It’s an emotional journey sprinkled with humor, affection, risk, and rescue. You’ll meet, and likely fall in love with, a group of highly entertaining kitties who know the meaning of camaraderie and teamwork. This is aptly demonstrated in their budding relationship with the “Tweeties,” who aid the kitties and eventually depend on those same kitties for their own survival. Animal fiction never felt so believable as it does in Pierre and the Rise of The Kitty Nation, as magical realism takes hold. Narrated by the quirky and troubled “Tykie,” a kitty who uses his wit and dry humor to maintain his sanity, this family-friendly book is not just for cat lovers, but for anyone with an affinity for animal adventure.
