I want to tell you a little story about my predecessor here at my house - his name was Eddy and he was a gray tabby stray my Mom and Dad adopted. This was YEARs ago of course - my Mom and Dad were building a new house and brought Eddy out here to the country and he lived "the life" for six years before he went to the Bridge. Mom and Dad waited almost a year then finally went to the shelter and found ME - I was only a few weeks old and had been found under an old abandoned house. Lucky me to be adopted though - and off and on all these 14 years I've been with my folks, they've talked about Eddy so he's kind of a hero to me. This is Eddy hanging out by the pool.
A few years ago my Mom decided to write a mystery novel - yep - she just one day decided since she loved READING mysteries, why not WRITE one too! She wrote and wrote and when she finished it she found an agent and eventually a publisher and the book was published. It was going to be the first in a whole series with the same characters but my Mom got sick and her writing pretty much stopped. ANYWAY, in the book the main character who is a young female private investigator, her best buddy, pal and helper is a cat named Eddy. That's right - Mom wrote Eddy into the book and when she describes him, she's talking about "her" Eddy........it was her way of honoring him.
I told you all of this as "backup" to what I REALLY want to tell you which is that my Mom's book is available on Amazon and has been for a couple of years but it's now available in Kindle version AND Mom is having a BIG FAT SALE and offering the book for the whopping amount of NINETY-NINE CENTS for a Kindle download! If your peeps like mysteries and you like hearing a bedtime story like some of you do, make sure your Mom or Dad orders it while the sale is on. It runs from October 3 to October 8. If you click HERE it will take you right to Amazon! Just for your info, the book cover is a painting my Mom did in oils - it's on her studio wall...............just a reminder of Eddy, and her first mystery novel.................
If your peeps read the book - ask them to do a review on Amazon for Mom! She'd like that and you know how much we like keeping our Moms happy!! Thanks TCC friends...........
Hugs, Sammy
