In review, 2015, has been a cat walk, a walk in the park,
and a leap of faith all rolled into one big year.
My decision to break out on my own was scary, exciting and
life changing.. Last January I pinned back my ears and began my project, strutting and hissing with the confidence of a cat activating the lion mode.
At the top of this
year, January 2015, on my blog, The Cat's Perspective of

FURY SERIES - ACTIVATE LION MODE. I hoped to have this kitten on the shelf before
my birthday on April 21st

I envisioned the process as a walk in the park, but instead it became the work of a demented cat.
My life became scratching out words, covering them up, only to claw out different words and bury them as well.

Twelve months later my calloused paws knead the pages of my manuscript as my mind
treads imaginary waters.
But my story!! My story is incredible! ACTIVATE LION MODE carries a message for all young adults and
cats with eight lives ahead of them.

My message from my
first book in the series FELINE FURY will change lives. I can see myself
prancing down the cat walk as my fans, feline and human alike, clap and howl as I present ACTIVATE LION MODE at each book marking signing event.
In the meantime, as I wrap up the last chapters, Judy and I
are on the road again, with seminars and engagements lined up.
Please, mark your calendars.
Jan 5th- thru the 9th Judy will be
presenting two seminars at the 28th Annual
FMCA Western RV Rally In Indio, Ca.Part One, Have You Ever Thought About Writing? on Thursday January 7th
and Part Two, What Makes a Good Story? Saturday, January 9t.h.
Everyone loves Judy’s
seminars. Even if you have attended her workshops before, Judy is famous for setting your inspiration on fire. The seminars
are free, and if you are not registered to attend the Rally in your RV, walk-in. Day passes are
only $10.00.
The rally is not only an opportunity to attend Judy’s
seminars, it offers a wealth of information about anything you want to know
about the RVing lifestyle. The rally is the venue for all you cats
friends on Facebook and those of you who have been following my blog, The Cat's Perspective Of
Reading, Writing, And Life . I you want
your caretakers to take the leap and live a life like mine, rich in the freedom of being on the road, an RV rally is packed with
information and friendly folks who will gladly share their experiences and
opinions.
After the rally you may want to hang out at the nearby The
Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio,
California and to see The
Temptations And The Four Tops perform on the 15th. Me? I want to
see Tony
Bennet on the 16th.
And finally, on January 23rd I’m inviting everyone to support the
grand opening, ribbon cutting, and first meeting of The Diamond
Valley Writers Guild at the Hemet Library in Hemet, California on Saturday, January
23, 2016 – Chasing Your Creative Dream: Make 2016 The Year You Get Published!
I want to hear their speaker myself, now
that I am an almost published author.
The speaker? Get motivated by celebrity
biographer and novelist, Raymond “Rusty” Strait, who has authored over 30
books.
That’s enough
hair raising excitement and caterwauling
to ring in the New Year, don’t you think? In the meantime, don’t forget to carry the message concerning our veterans
into the new year and beyond.
