As a new writer I am still working on my first novel, but am happy to announce that I have yet another Chicken Soup for the Soul story now in print!  This is the third story that I have had published by them in the past year, so I must be doing something right.  My story The nine lives of Smokey came out today in their latest book “The Cat Did What?”  It is the true story of my beloved cat named Smokey, who survived against all odds a high level of smoke damage when he was trapped in a burning house. (And yes, his name really was Smokey years before the fire). He proved the age old saying that cats really do have nine lives! This amazing book, royalties of which support the American Humane Association, is now available in book stores everywhere.  Besides my awesome story (page 57) you wont want to miss the 100 other heartwarming stories about cats who have touched our lives and the forward written by Miranda Lambert. I am so honored to be a part of the Chicken Soup for the Soul family and hope to continue to have stories published in their inspiring books!
