About this author

edit data

Marie J. Spinella-Phillips
Born in 1957, in Huntington, on Long Island, I've been driven by an insatiable love of writing, art, and the sciences since very early childhood. My love of animal tales fueled my desire to write, always manifesting in stories from the non-human point of view. I invented my very first character at six years old, creating picture books with a tree as the main protagonist. I included, on the inside covers, my very own publishing logo, complete with rainbow and shining sun!

For KHAN

Hi all,
I am very new at this. My book Khan:A Maine Coon is available on Good reads, as are my scifi books in the Furlites of Aroriel series. On Matissia Wings has both hardcover and kindle versions, while Earth-bred, Matissia-Born has Kindle version, with hardcover to launch in a month or so.
If anyone has read my boosk I'd love to know what you thought.

During his stay, Khan befriends a wise old tomcat. Four days later, to Khan's horror, the shelter workers take his friend away to the Big Sleep, leaving Khan scared and alone. Just before Khan's time is up, a man enters the shelter and adopts Khan. Though he feels loved, he is also alone, and misses his mother, his litter mates, and his tomcat friend. Weeks later, when another young kitten joins the household, Khan befriends him, and they form a tight bond. Khan deals with life's challenges and surprises, always finding strength in feline friendships, old and new, and in love from his humans -- until a monster from within suddenly strikes him down in the prime of life. Down, but not out, Khan struggles against his internal foe, wanting only to stay beside the humans and cats he adores.
