Susan and I are very excited about The Adventures of Baby Cat In Cherry Grove: Saving Faith. It is book 2 in our series on the life and times of Lily, aka Baby Cat, in the magical landscape of Cherry Grove. The new book is going to be about twice as many pages and will include many more illustrations by Susan! We hope to finish the design and layout by the end of the summer for a book release in September. We're keeping our paws crossed!
Here's a little teaser from the back of the book:
Can cats and dogs really get along with each other? That’s the big question on Lily’s mind in The Adventures of Baby Cat in Cherry Grove: Saving Faith. Lily, aka Baby Cat, must help cats Alf and Rome find their lost dog, Faith, but Maggie says there’s a storm comin’. Will they beat the storm? Will they save Faith?

Book Signing in Sayville
posted by Tim
I took the train out to Sayville this morning for a booksigning at Runaway Bay Books. I had a wonderful time and enjoyed hanging out for the afternoon with owner, Marianne, her two employees, and Harry Potter - the store cat. He really liked the Baby Cat book. Author/illustrator Greg Fox was also there. We talked for a while and he offered much insight into the publishing business.
Marianne's been in business for over 14 years. I like that it's an independent bookstore that has survived the corporatization of bookstores. It's small, quaint, and has a wonderful smattering of literary delights for all ages.
All in all it was a great day for "Baby Cat". It was nice to get back into the groove of talking with people about the book, especially since Book #2 is coming out in the fall!

The Adventures of Baby Cat in Cherry Grove

The Adventures of Baby Cat in Cherry Grove began a few years ago when my co-author Susan wrote a rather "catchy" tune about her own baby cat, Lily. Some time after that, before I even knew her, I was walking on the boardwalks of Cherry Grove on Fire Island and Susan picked me up, took me back to her house, and showed me her artwork. We were instant friends, and like all great friends, there was the feeling that we always knew each other, and that it was only a matter of time before we found each other once again.
Susan and I decided to collaborate on a children's book about her cat, Lily, whom she and her partner affectionately called Baby Cat. We wanted to the book to present a loving, intimate picture of Cherry Grove through the eyes of a cat. I feel that we succeeded in this goal of celebrating a community we love very much and hold so very dear to our hearts.
We published Book 1 in May 2006. We plan on releasing Book 2 in September with a book-signing in Cherry Grove. Book 3 is scheduled for a Summer 2008 release.
