I got a preview of the cover for Barnum's Revenge yesterday.
It may change slightly before the actual release, and I haven't seen the back copy yet, but here's the blurb I sent in:
Life’s never dull when your best friend is a talking cat.
A month has passed since Bill Euston and Snowy (a talking cat only he can hear), exposed the illegal animal experiments taking place beneath the Adventure Safari zoo and theme park, where Bill’s father works as chief veterinary surgeon.
When Bill’s cousin, Luke, comes to stay, the family must pretend Snowy is a normal cat. Luke is a bully. From the moment he arrives, he sets out to make Bill’s life a misery. Not content with taking over his bedroom, he picks on Bill at every opportunity, gets Snowy banished to the kitchen, and worst of all, charms his way into the affections of Carmen, Bill’s only other teenage friend in the village.
To make matters worse, someone keeps letting animals out of their enclosures at Adventure Safari. If the sabotage continues, the park may have to close down, forcing the Euston family to give up their idyllic new life in the English countryside. In an effort to discover who’s responsible, Dr. Euston enlists Bill and Snowy’s help, but Snowy has his own problem, a fox with sharp teeth and a vicious temperament to match his name, Shredder.
What do you think?
As many of you know, since early April, I've been waiting to hear news from Echelon Press about Barnum's Revenge (the sequel to Fur-Face)
I just heard from the owner, the lovely Karen Syed. She told me she loved Barnum's Revenge and wants to offer me an ebook and print contract.
It's scheduled for a February 2013 release, which gives me plenty of time to arrange things.
I are a happy writer!
Today, I'm touting my wares at PetExpo 2011, 5 Pioneer Boulevard, Westampton, NJ 08060 (11am - 4pm), where I'm delighted to be kicking off the first of three promotions to celebrate the upcoming print release of Fur-Face.

A few weeks ago, I started work on the first draft of Barnum’s Revenge (the sequel to Fur-Face). My approach to writing the two novels couldn’t be more different.

I made what I believe will turn out to have been a big decision last week.
I currently have five WiPs (all novels), none of which are at the query-ready stage. I decided to stop jumping about between them and just pick one to work on.
As you can imagine, with the news about the upcoming paperback version of Fur-Face, I decided the smart choice would be its sequel, Barnum's Revenge. I plan to have a final draft ready by the end of July. When that's done, and only when that's done I'll sit down and decide what to work on next. Until then, I've locked my other WiPs away.
