Kimba's Interview with Sneaky the Cat

Sneaky the cat has interviewed Kimba for her blog. You can find the whole link by clicking here.

Here's a little section of her interview for you to enjoy:

What do you like most about your role in your author's books?

I like that I’m the star. There are also very special details about my role in the universe of cats that are revealed through the series, but I’m not supposed to talk about it. Spoilers.

Meow’s the word. I hate spoilers especially when it’s canned food left out too long.

Hop over to Sneaky's blog and read the whole thing!!

Kimba needed a good nap with Minnie when the interview was done.
Being a star is exhausting. Especially for a cat.

Newsletter and Cover Reveal

My Fall Newsletter is here! You can read all the updates and information about holiday book sale prices at this link. 

Now that it is out there in the newsletter, I can also share the cover for "Dottie's Daring Day!"

Isn't she cute?! Dottie is our grand-dogger, and she is a squiggly, adorable little thing.

The book is back from the editor, and I'll begin with final edits and then formatting before Thanksgiving. Everything is on track for the February 1 release date.

Hope you enjoy the newsletter and are having some lovely fall weather. It's still way too hot here for me, but the leaves are making our mountaintop beautiful.

Next Event: November 12, Bella Vista Christmas Bazaar, Riordan Hall, 9:00 am – 2:00 pm.
