Chapter Fifteen’s up!

Have a read– http://www.robinwinter.net/chapter-fifteen-examination/

I inserted a few small decorations into the text, not having made many drawings of recent. There’s nothing quite like having small kittens for distraction…. I have them moved over now to the raw food diet with the supplements recommended by the vet, and they are gaining weight and looking glossy, full of mischievous energy, just as they ought to be!

Photographs of a So Cal Totoro

P1000026P1000025P1000024Husband picked this cherimoya from our tree and brought it inside. The resemblance was unmistakable. He’s now sitting on our counter in the kitchen surveying kittens and cats and all. Memories of the kids watching ‘My Neighbor Totoro’ abound– if you haven’t seen that 1988 Miyazaki masterpiece I recommend it heartily. It has a slow and gentle build, the details of rain are utterly lovely and the magic of trust and imagination compel. Not only for kids.

A long chapter fourteen

Maybe I could have broken this next part of the free novel up into two chapters, but I didn’t want to! So it’s up here http://www.robinwinter.net/chapter-fourteen-advice-and-ambush/

and I hope you find it provocative.
