courage

When Marlon ran away, he found the wide world is a big place for a little cat.

“Silky! Did Momma Cat send you?” Silky nodded, “Marlon you’re not bad. Come home, make her glad.”

Marlon felt a sweet purr rise up from his heart. Did that mean all was forgiven?

“Marlon and the Wide World” comes out May 15. You can pre-order your copy at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C32N4V8F

Away from home, Marlon missed his friends. Like that time with Kukka… 

 

It was a bright, sunny day. Marlon scurried out of the house, excited to see Kukka. “Let’s romp,” Marlon said and ran off. Kukka barked her happy bark and chased him…

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.

A new cozy cat adventure, “Marlon and the Wide World” Coming May 15!

It was a lovely morning until Marlon found his favorite puffy toy, shredded…

My beautiful toy is in sad tiny pieces. He gave a low growl. Who would do such a mean thing? Momma Cat? No way. It must be Albert!

Marlon hopped to the window sill. His tail started to twitch. Albert was outside! Hiding outside! Marlon leaped down and rammed through the cat door like an army tank. He moved as fast as a cannon shot to the bushes where Albert’s tail was peeking out. 

Uh-oh, Marlon’s about to pounce on his baby brother. You can find out what happens next in “Marlon and the Wide World,” coming soon.
