Excerpt for A Tale of Two Kitties by Miranda Stork and Trish Marie Dawson:
(Bit of an explanation – this story is between our two
rescue cats, and their attempts to plot while keeping diaries and using Skype.
It’s all explained in the story, I promise. ;) )
I’m starting to think
it’s a wonderful thing, having three dogs in the house, two of them still in
that annoying puppy stage. All I had to do to procure the viewing box tonight,
was knock over a planter in the living room while the canines did their nightly
bonding play. Then I peed on the boy’s shoe. My human will be busy for some
time.
*click-click-click-click-click*
What the heck was my password thingy?? *click-click* Nope. Damn.
*click-click-click-click* GAH! Oh yeah. Duh. ‘w-h-i-s-k-e-r-s’. Okay, I’m in!
RiverRunsThruIt11: Pssst. Pssssst.
Tinsel, calling Sir Tinsel.
Are you there?
TinselXmasTree07: Bloody hell! You startled me! What do you
want?
RiverRunsThruIt11: Ah, so you are there! Good. Hi.
TinselXmasTree07: You woke me from my nap to say ‘hi’?
RiverRunsThruIt11: It’s late at night, what are you sleeping
for? Most cats are wide awake at this hour.
TinselXmasTree07: ^-_-^
It’s barely dawn here, what are you going on about, late at
night? I believe your human has drugged you with too much nip.
Go away.
RiverRunsThruIt11: Is that a…is that a cat face with squinty
eyes? Did you just squinty-eye me? LOL
TinselXmasTree07: I said, go away.
RiverRunsThruIt11: But, I’m bored.
Really bored.
Sooooo bored.
Ridiculously bored.
Bored.Bored.Bored.Bored.
^*_*^
Wow, that doesn’t look like a cat. It looks like a gremlin.
^@_@^
Hahahahaha, that’s me on too much of the nip!
TinselXmasTree07: OMG. Just. I can’t even. You aren’t going
away any time soon, are you?
RiverRunsThruIt11: No.
TinselXmasTree07: ^-_-^
RiverRunsThruIt11: You can’t use that one.
TinselXmasTree07: I beg your pardon?
RiverRunsThruIt11: You can’t use that one, you already did.
Be creative.
TinselXmasTree07: Fine. If I play this rather unappealing
game, will you leave me be?
RiverRunsThruIt11: Maybe.
TinselXmasTree07: Fine. Um.
RiverRunsThruIt11: I’m waiting…
TinselXmasTree07: Okay, okay!
^-_+^
RiverRunsThruIt11: What is that??
TinselXmasTree07: It’s a wink, you daft feline!
RiverRunsThruIt11: Oh! I thought maybe something was in its
eye. Here’s another…
TinselXmasTree07: I’m waiting…
RiverRunsThruIt11: Hold on! I’m thinking.
(_._)__/
TinselXmasTree07: What’s that supposed to be?
RiverRunsThruIt11: It’s a cat’s butt! Bwahahahahahaha!
TinselXmasTree07: No! You’re absurdly inappropriate!
RiverRunsThruIt11: LOL I thought it was funny. Even gave it
a tail. So, you know, it’s accurate.
TinselXmasTree07: Well, if you want accurate, it would look
more like this…

RiverRunsThruIt11: Hahahahahahahaha!!!

love of coffee and the color purple.

Miranda Stork and Trish Marie Dawson
(A Tale of Two Kitties)
Miranda’s bio:
I live in the middle of a forest in North Yorkshire, spending my spare time as the wild woman of the woods, scaring small children and upsetting the sheep. On the days that I feel like being civilized, or I haven't got any unicorns to ride, I sit down and pour the tumbling thoughts in my head out onto digital paper and turn them into paranormal/gothic books. I like taking the classical myths and monsters and giving them a new, contemporary twist, then make them into something that readers can lose themselves in.
Trish's bio:
Trish was born and mostly raised in San Diego, California USA. She lives there now with her family and furbabies. When she's not homeschooling or pretending to do chores, she's reading and writing.
Writer of Fantasy Fiction, Paranormal, YA/NA, Mystery, Horror...

Taisheena Rayne
(Win, Place or Show)
I am a koala bear sleeping between 18 to 22 hours per day, just ask my (grown) kids.
I have always loved to read. I love how you can be in another world, where heroes always succeed and romance blooms.
Now I create my own worlds where heroines can save the day, love survives and maybe just maybe, dragons are the good guys.
Shauna Wilhelm
(Fostering Hope)
Shauna grew up always liking to write, even doing a program in high school called power of the pen called power of the pen which was a competitive creating writing group. After that she mainly just wrote poems, which was an outlet to express her emotions to everyday situations rather than keeping them bottled up inside. This is the first time she has branched out into writing more than a poem and it is also the first time she is sharing her work for someone to read.
