I’ve Read It in Books


This Saturday’s PhotoHunt isn’t very challenging. Books is such a cool theme. By now everyone knows that my Aunt is P.M. Griffin, the famous Sci-Fi/Fantasy author who’s also written some very cool books about cats and other creatures. The cat books include THE GIFT OF MAGIC (the award-winning novel with the four marvelous cats), TROUBLE THE CAT, the two-story collection leading to it, and THE BASTET TRILOGY with three unconnected tales (except by Bastet's presence), two of them award winners. You can read my review of Trouble the Cat and my short innerview with Aunt Pauline. TW has been her friend for four decades. Andre Norton was Aunt Pauline’s mentor. I posed with a few of Aunt Pauline’s books when we gave them away during the annual SciFi pawty on Twitter.

What you didn’t know is that even though TW never wrote a book herself—unlike some of your smarter and more talented humans—she did contribute to several during her former life as a music "journalist.” I use that word very loosely. She did everything from transcribing innerview tapes to loaning memorabilia to be photographed. She even has a concert photo she took in one of the books. How weird is that? What wouldn’t she do to get her name in a book? Below I’m posing with several books in which she got an acknowledgement.


Why do I have to pose with these? The pic on the right sez it all—what I think of TW blowing her own horn. It isn’t very becoming, TW. I wasn’t even doing my Gene Simmons of Kiss impression. The two people who are innerested could click on the image to biggify..

For my art entry in the Caturday Art Blog Hop hosted by Athena and Marie, I’ve made a video for you. The video, entitled CK & the Tree of Pain, consists of, er, ME on my Tree of Pain. You can make video up to 30 seconds long for free. They have plenty of themes and music for you to choose from. Be warned, they will, at every turn, try to get you to upgrade to the paying version.

 

Let’s see, I’ve provided books, music and video for you. All you need is some noms along with a soft bed and you’re set for the weekend.

Would you like to comment?

  1. I think this Photo Hunt theme is a pretty easy one for all the cat bloggers because all our humans read (and some write too - and even some kitties write!). But not that many can boast of having such a cool author that is a relative!
