The next morning, Marlon pondered everything that happened since he ran away from home…

Here he was up in a tree with a family of raccoons. Raccoons! Marlon thought about the little girl who was nice to him in town. Escaping the alley cats Puffin and Muffin. Meeting Railley and her kits. And missing his family. Oh, Momma Cat, will I ever see you again? Only the rustle of leaves answered him…

Will Marlon ever find his way home? The story continues in my cozy cat adventure, Marlon and the Wide World,”coming May 15.

After they shared a meal, Railley brought Marlon to meet her kits…

“What are you?” said the first kit.

“You’re strange looking,” said the second.

“Kits, this is a cat. Take a good look,” Railley said.

“We’ve never seen any animals up close.”

“Birds! And squirrels!”

“Oh yeah, birds and squirrels.” 

“We like being up high.” 

“We get to see everything down there.”

“And no one knows we’re here.”

There’s more to come in my cozy cat adventure, “Marlon and the Wide World,” launching May 15.

After Marlon walked to town, he ran into trouble on the double…

Tails up like spears, two orange tabby cats strode towards Marlon with angry faces. The bigger one stopped in front of him and glared. “Who are you?” The second cat stepped next to the first. “And what are you doing in our yard?”

What will Marlon do next? Find out in my new cozy cat adventure, “Marlon and the Wide World,” coming May 15.

Marlon was stumped. How can he cross this busy street?

“Just sit and wait until you hear ‘heel.’ Then you can go.” Kukka smiled. “People teach us that.” 

“Cats don’t do heel. That’s a dog thing.” Marlon stretched. “Cats do what they want when they want. And what I want is to cross to the other side.”

“That’s why the chicken crossed!” said Kukka, wagging her tail.

“What? Why?” Marlon asked.

“To get to the other side,” Kukka laughed. “It’s the old chicken joke, Marlon. Get it?”

Marlon groaned. “Yeah. It was pretty fowl.”

All jokes aside, you can read what happens next in my cozy cat adventure, “Marlon and the Wide World,” coming May 15.

My new cozy cat adventure, “Marlon and the Wide World” 

Is it true? Did Marlon run away from home? Well, I can’t tell you everything that happened. But for the next few weeks I’d like to share some highlights from the story. And I can say this: “Marlon and the Wide World” explores friendship, jealousy and courage with a light touch. It’s a heartwarming story for kids ages 6 – 10. And you’ll see – Marlon and his friends make lots of marvelous mischief.
