Serious Wednesday: Introducing BOET!

 

BOET

*  A major character in the book series:

The Nursery Rhyme Books

*  He's a SAVANNAH cat.

*  A Savannah cat is bred between a domestic cat and an African Serval cat.

* Savannah cats are rated between F1 and F5. The F stands for filial (how many generations removed from the Serval cat that cat is). You cannot own an F1 without a Dangerous Wild Life Animal license.

 The higher the number, the more gentle they are.

Savannah cats are extremely loyal. Raised in a household with children or other people help to make them very socialized.

* Savannah cats like to cuddle, play ball, and sometimes even swim! 

*  They are extremely smart (hence Boet's intelligence in this series!)  

* They can weigh anywhere from 15 lbs to 25-some lbs. The largest Savannah cat--19 inches tall--in the world lives in Michigan. First generations are usually larger than later ones.

*AND they are expensive. Some can run as high as 30 some thousand.

Serious Wednesday: Introducing: Catch Me If You Can

 Catch Me If You Can

Book ONE of 

The Nursery Rhyme series

The big cat sat on the oversized rock, ears pointed toward the sky, every muscle taut, every sense at the ready.

“S-s-shut up and f-f-forget it. You've s-seen nothing and know nothing. I won't warn you again. G-g-got it?”

The cat's head swiveled, his ears twitching as if catching the hint of threat in the whisper. A soft hiss slid from his open mouth and reinforced the overtone of evil pressing in upon the scene. Within hours, lies and dark secrets are slithering all over the campground.

Coaxed into finding the animal killer at Jamieson's Outfitters, Tara Layne, with her sidekick, Boet, is welcomed by a threatening whisper and the unfriendly eyes of a rugged and devastatingly handsome manager. Wesley Clarke, both interesting and frustrating, holds an attraction for Tara that is both primitive and exasperating.

Intermingled with her search, Tara deals with her own heartbreaking buried secrets. When a strange old Native American probes into the recesses of her heart, he encourages her to face her bitter feelings.

As Tara closes in on her search, she finds herself—and Boet—the target of someone who's determined to outrun and outsmart her. Someone determined not to get caught.

His theme:

Fun as fast as you can, you can't catch me.

The question:

Can Tara run fast enough to catch this real live Gingerbread boy

before he decides to get rid of her and Boet?

Rambling Friday: Mouse...or Cat?

The question was...

should I use a MOUSE (my intended creature) in the first book of The Nursery Rhyme series:  

Catch Me If You Can or...

a CAT? Especially a special cat, like a Savannah cat? 

Because an editor suggested women don't care for mice (really?), I took a poll. sigh. It was decided (by me) that another creature would be best for the story. So I did some research. Then some more. I finally decided if I was going to use a CAT, then I wanted to know the personalities, and well, more about them. I considered a couple different ones. Then I ran into the article about Savannah cats. How sociable, how intelligent, and their unique personalities, and I was convinced! 

A Savannah cat was the choice. It made perfect sense. Having two older brothers (well, one is a twin), who liked to tease her (like, all the time), giving her a Savannah cat would be the ultimate tease for a sister who was loved by both brothers and a grandfather. 

Hence...meet BOET! And I'm dearly afraid he may end up being the star of the book!
