Your Choice, Our Books

The anthology includes our two paranormal romances plus so much more! You can find all the instructions for the very simple exchange here: https://romanceforroe.com/

This anthology is only available for a limited time! As are, possibly, freedom of choice and the right to decide whether you want to bear a child. Obviously the second is more important than the first, but the first will help out with the second in a small way.

What’s That Meow?

An exciting development in my publishing career! A couple of months ago, I contracted with Scribd / Bryant Street Pub to develop audio versions of some of my stories. They have started with the Cat Ship series, and today Catalyst is now available as an audiobook! You can listen to the Catalyst audiobook here:

Are you an audiobook afficionado? Our family tends to partake of audiobooks as a group on trips or just quietly during the after-dinner hours. With Scribd, to listen to their vast catalog of offerings, they function like an online library. You subscribe for 9.99 a month (can cancel at any time) and you can go wild with whatever ebooks and audiobooks they have available, which is a lot. You can also get your first free month for free and maybe listen to Catalyst and see what you think.

Would be amazing to hear your impressions, if anyone has had a chance to listen! What’s that meow sound like?

Are You Grompy and Chonky?

I bet you are. I sure am. In fact, I am so grompy and so chonky and so completely enthralled with KITTIES that I have commissioned a very special item from an artist who is local to my real-world location. I would like to offer you…

The best T-shirt in the world!

two t-shirts with a fat mad cat drawn on them and the words 'grompy and chonky'
You too can advertise the truth about your soul….

I make zero dollars from this shirt, zero kickback, only the JOY of knowing that more people in this world are wearing this shirt. The artist, Panda Ink Designs, so perfectly captured what was in my head when all I did was babble some nonsense. The shirt is a soft cotton a little on the thin side (but in a good way), and I’d say it runs a tiny bit small compared to other shirts I own, most of which I get at the thrift store so they’ve already been washed…a bit. Haha.

Here are the colors:

colors available for the grompy and chonky shirt

I got a bright pink that I hope does well at hiding stains, since I… Well. I have never met a garment I couldn’t stain just by wearing it. Food or no food. It’s a skill.

Recommend getting the white print on the darker colored shirts. Please, please help yourself! And let me know how fantastic it is to walk through the day letting everyone know you are straight up grompy and chonky. Click either of the photos to be taken to the order form! Or here.

Nobody Loves You, Baby

Or no cats, anyway.

Here’s your writer prompt for this week! It’s a contrast to last week’s prompt, so those stories might make a fun parallel.

Everytime you go to the cat cafe, the cats hiss at you and run away

So what is it about you that makes this happen? It surely isn’t as simple as “you smell like dog” because cats are more discerning than that…

These Kittens Look Familiar

Sharing another catty writer prompt today, and I think you’ll agree these kittens look familiar. How do you suppose THIS happened?

A basket of kittens, these kittens look familiar
You open your shirt drawer. Inside it, a cat you don’t recognize has had kittens. The kittens look JUST like your tomcat.

One possibility. Your tomcat let his girlfriend in through the cat door. Another possibility. Your tomcat and his girlfriend are shapeshifters. Another possibility. Grey tabbies are really common and your tomcat had nothing to do with this. Another possibility. They aren’t actually cats but instead are sentient alien beings.

What’s your possibility?

Whose Diary Is That?

You probably shouldn’t pick the lock on secret books. Bad things can happen when you unearth a secret cat diary.

You find a locked book. When you unlock it, you realize it's a secret cat diary.

You shouldn’t be invading people’s privacy this way! But since you did…fill us in. What’s kitty been up to? How much danger are you in? Is kitty saving the world or destroying it? You can get a catty writer prompt every Wednesday at my Twitter page or my Facebook page or other places!

But I Needed That Box!

What do you do when you have a really scary guard cat and your cat chases the delivery person? And what was in that box that was so important? Every Wednesday I try to post a catty writer prompt to get your creative juices churning, kind of like a whirlpool of feline. This particular cat is very proud of the way he chased off the mail person.

This story would probably be flash fiction, but I’d like to see your flash!

Your cat chases away the delivery person with a very important package

Here is a delightful old video from AFV about a cat who does NOT like the mail delivery — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn3ymQB4iqQ

DNA at Crime Scenes

Oh, dat boy. He left DNA at crime scenes. He’s been very very bad. Or has he? Only YOU can finish this story.

A catty writer prompt where your cat's DNA has been found at several crime scenes. DNA at crime scenes.
DNA? Yum!

Kitty Lothario

Got any spare time on your hands for writing an AMAZING story? How about this for a prompt. Do you think a kitty lothario might be guilty? How is Mr. Man making this happen? Does he have human help?

In the town where you live, everyone's cat has started giving birth to polydactyl kittens...even cats kept inside the house.
