Quote of the Day

"Cats pride themselves on their ability to do nothing."
--John R. Breen
I was stuck for a non-time-consuming post, so I stole from yesterday's Page-A-Day Cat Calendar.

I happened to be writing a scene in Voice of Crow that featured a Cougar (i.e., a person who has Cougar magic). He's everything you'd imagine a cat in a man's body to be. The kind you don't take home to Mother. The kind you're better off clocking with a shoe when he yowls at your back window.

The kind who leaves marks.

Beware, moon. He's a good-fer-nothin' son-of-a-gun who'll use you like a litter box.

Which doesn't mean he won't get his own short story someday. I'm making a mental list of characters who deserve bigger parts than what they get in the novels. Spinoffs, ahoy!
