Seventeen has gone up

So for those of you following the story, the seventeenth chapter has been posted on http://www.robinwinter.net/chapter-seventeen-laymasters-take/

and you can have your next bit of reading.

In the meantime I have to speak of the young cats. Every so often the Little Watson will spring out from hiding by the corner of our bed, bounding forward on two legs with his front paws outspread, wagging his round head at me. It’s utterly charming, though I am not entirely certain what he means by it. Then he drops and dashes, and oft as not tags me on my ankles before flirting away.

As for Holmes? He comes and drapes himself over my arm or my lap when I am sitting at the computer and makes conversational mews that are both plaintive and multi-syllabic. He is one of the clumsiest cats I have ever met, a clown in silky black and white with eyes undecided between amber and green. Not really hazel because it seems that the colors are patchy, not truly mixed. He adores Kitsune– think of a besotted fan. He tries to lie on Kit, smooch with Kit, sit next to Kit, lean on Kit…and Kitsune? He will play upon occasion but quickly feels he has done enough, or even too much and takes his leave with his young follower chasing after him.

I caught grousing Daft Wee Willie lying on the couch with Watson today– when he saw me enter his orange face acquired an alarmed expression as though he felt his position untenable. His paws were actually touching the kitten…WWW cat snoozing.JPG

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!

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.
