They all seem to know which house the easy mark lives in. :-) I could no more let an animal starve than I could let a child go hungry.<br /><br />Good analogy re: writers and readers.

They were both female tricolor (white, gold and black) short-haired calicos, and because we lived in the same neighborhood for years, we think maybe the second one was somehow related to the first. There was also another cat around that we called a "wanderer" not a stray. This was a beautiful long-haired silver-grey signlady217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-21894598785289268882009-10-02T09:13:29.558-04:002009-10-02T09:13:29.558-04:00Terrific post, Lonnie.

My new book, for example, deals with domestic violence. <i>Somebody's</i> gotta be the bad guy. In such a case, the way to win the reader's trust is the First Commandment of those of us who write about social issues: Thou shalt not be preachy.Elizabeth Zelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944424094949207841noreply@blogger.com
