So Halloween starts early this year.
I usually dress as a witchy cat, and wanted something different than the witches’ hat I usually wear. I found these cute faux fox ears on Etsy and of course had to give them a try.
They are awesome! I look cute, my husband thinks I look cute, and now I just have to assemble the rest of a low-budget costume to wear for the big night.
My cats, on the other hand, were less than amused.
Both got wide-eyed when they came into the room and saw my new ears. Socks’ eyes were the biggest, like what the heck is this?? and proceeded to slowly back away from me. Elsa got over her surprise pretty quickly and was like, whatever. I did follow Socks to the bathroom and gave him a good scratch so he knew the giant kitty was friendly. It was a nice ending to a long and stressful week.
And work is basically what I’ve been up to all this time. The semester hit the ground running, and with it came the deadline flappies, the meeting munchies, and the instructing light saber battles with AI essays (‘cuz this is the future of teaching lol). Not all of it is stressful, but it’s been hit or miss. A lot of smaller balls had to be dropped in order to make room for the job.
But the good news is I recently published a book! It was ready to go, so I set it free into the world, to play with the other books. And yes, it’s another cat book. The Book of 5 Mews.
Here’s the blurb:
Shhhh – don’t tell the humans. This is a cat’s guide to world domination; learn how to win hearts and get cheese with your kitty charm.
Meet Marble, a cat on a mission to rule the world with cuteness and get cheese. Marble is not your ordinary cat. She is a philosopher, a strategist, and a master of Catness. She knows the secrets to manipulate humans and get what she wants. Thus, Catness wisdom and insights are littered throughout this hilarious and insightful book, written mostly from a feline point of view (as the way it should be).
But Marble’s plan is not without challenges. She must win over a dog-loving human and keep up an endless supply of Colby-Jack cheese.
The Book of 5 Mews is a book for cat lovers, dog lovers, and anyone who enjoys a good laugh mixed in with a heartwarming story. It is a book that celebrates the bond between humans and animals, and the power of love and healing. It is a book that will make you rethink your relationship with your cat, and maybe even inspire you to join a quest for world domination. Not that you’d be welcome, unless you’re a feline.
So this has been my stress relief for the moment, and now I have to get on the ball for my other two books I plan to release this year. But for now check out The Book of 5 Mews!
And yes, I might be posting less, dear readers, as work and other things are taking up a substantial amount of time. Perhaps all can be revealed someday.
