Sunday? Therefore beginnings, where we take a look at the start of one of my novels. Last week we did Woof, first in my Bowser an dBirdie middle-grade mystery series (available to adults with fake ID). So today, Arf, which came next:
I awoke to the smell of bacon. Could the day have gotten off to a better start? Not to my way of thinking, even though I knew right away that this bacon was of the distant kind, not sizzling in our own kitchen here at 19 Gentilly Lane, but somewhere in the neighborhood. Certain smells – bacon, for example – have the power to pull you toward them. What with your tiny nose – compared to mine, that is – this may be news to you. Not your fault! Don’t feel bad!
I sprang off the bed, glanced back at Birdie. She was fast asleep, hair all in a tangle, crust in the corners of her eyes, and a bit of drool leaking from the side of her mouth. No one was more beautiful than Birdie. There are times when I can just gaze at her for what seems like forever. This wasn’t one of them.

Great beginning!
Good day to all.
Greetings!
The smell of bacon has the power to pull this medium sized nose directly to it. :^)
Good afternoon to all!
A great beginning. I really liked the Bowser and Birdie series. Bowser was very different from Chet but still as loveable. While I’m sad it’s over I loved that their was closure after the third book. All ends nicely tied up.
Unlike Queen and Arthur that could still have some end-tying in another book. What’s the problem? Lack of interest or difficulty getting into the mind of a cat?
Bowser is another awesome member of the nation within. I just love his relationship with Birdie!
