An update on "The Cat That Meowed"!

Today, we jumped into the digital age regarding a story I wrote back twenty plus years ago! "The Cat That Meowed", originally written for a creative writing class and published in a university literary magazine is now an e-book on Amazon!

You can find it here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M6D0784 

It is the story of young Andres Segovia and his cat. The story tells a tale of how Andres began as a drummer and that it was his cat that actually played guitar. It tells of how this relation between boy and cat brought Andres to pick up the guitar. It is in short a fable, a short story.

As I said, I wrote it in college, specifically for a creative writing class I had at Raritan Valley Community College. It was was in fact the first assignment that Professor Minus assigned to the class. Write a fable he said. The story was well received in the class. I went on to submit it to the Rutgers University College literary magazine and it was published in 1990. It perhaps was and is the best thing I have written, granted that it has been a long while since I have even attempted fiction.

Today seeing others play with and explore the publication of e-books, I figured it would be fun to reintroduce it to the literary and Internet age. With that I am offering this first edition, a bare-bones text only edition. If there is a response, I will explore a second edition with illustrations.

The other piece to this is that I do maintain several blogs, including this one, that are largely ignored by this writer, and likewise readers, Something that at least in the case of the writer, I can and should change.

Again, you can find it here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M6D0784 

I do hope you enjoy this story and with a little luck I will haves others to share at some point.
