Novelist Clea Simon writes:”So… we just moved and our kitty Musetta is not amused. I think her way of expressing it – hiding under the blankets – epitomizes how many of us feel about the holidays: GO AWAY! CALL ME WHEN THEY ARE OVER! Sadly, I have my next mystery (“Cats Can’t Shoot”) due to my publisher in June, so I can’t follow her lead.”
Amy Atwell introduced her literary cat: “Here, her back foot is pointing to my bulletin board to remind me that ‘Life Is Never Perfect.’ We adopted Paris and her sister London from an animal shelter in California six years ago. They’ve shared my desk that whole time, through drafting four manuscripts, countless rejections and my debut book release last month. Paris’s theory is that you keep reaching for your goals–and that’s how you roll.”
