Listen up critter pals. As you know, HH (I call my food human Her Highness for those of you reading my blog for the first time) was writing a novel for National Novel Writing Month. Well, what I didn't tell you is that I had a small part in it.
To set up this excerpt... HH named the main character Angie. Angie has a cat named Max... named after me, of course. So, in this excerpt, fictional Max is sitting on the couch swaying to the music on the CD player as Angie, is working on some writing beside him.
Suddenly, Max hears a thud and jumps to attention.
"What is it boy?" Angie asks.
Max runs to the door to the work area downstairs and Angie follows close on his heels. She pauses. "Down there?" she asks. She looks down at Max as if he should answer.
Finally, after he swats at the door a couple of times, she turns the handle and opens it a crack to see if she can hear what drew his attention.
That's all Max needed. He sticks his paw in the opening and pulls the door open just enough to squeeze through. "No, Max," Angie says "Don't go down there. Remember what happened last time...."
So, critter pals, what does Max find downstairs and does he live to tell about it?
You'll just have to wait for the book to come out to find out the answers to those questions.... Or you can make up your own ending in the comments section.
