First Folio, Now This

3/4/2015

FIRST FOLIO, NOW THIS is the name of the chapter from which I’ve taken this month’s sneak peek at the artwork for The Book that Proves Time Travel Happens. Again, the art is by the brothers Eric and Terry Fan, who have done a terrific job depicting a pig emerging from the pages of a book of Shakespeare’s plays. (It’s a big book and a small pig.)

The pig’s name is Iago. My book also contains a character named Orlando Tiresias Camlo, because I take for granted my readers have not only brushed up their Shakespeare, but are also avid readers of Virginia Woolf and Ovid. (As my grandpappy used to say, “If you don’t set the bar high, ain’t nobody gonna dance the limbo.” Whatever that meant.)

Avid Ovid readers, not to be confused with rabid Rabelais readers, are, along with whiskers on kittens, a few of my favorite things.

What happened to Mucus the cat? One loose string that I cannot leave hanging. Very concerned about his safety.

Hello Debbie!

Mucus - or, as he prefers to be called, Mew Kiss - used up only one of his nine lives during his adventures in Hellsboro (he tried to swallow Double Six, width-wise rather than length-wise, and nearly choked) and he followed Fiona and the boys back to safety after the anti-matter explosion. The following summer he met a lovely calico and they had a family in the fake wishing well on Fiona's front lawn. River found them after he was hired to mow the Shuck's lawn and thought the well would be a good place to empty the grass-catcher. River and Freak each adopted one kitten and the other four kittens all found loving homes. I was going to detail all of this in a second book, but my publisher told me there was no way they would ever publish something called The Story of Mucus.

It's too bad, really.

    Pictured here on the day he sold What We Found in the Sofa. His mood is cautiously optimistic.

    You should see him when he's happy.
