January Sneak Peek at Something Worth Saving

JANUARY SNEAK PEEK Something Worth Saving Meet Lily!

Every month leading up to publication of my new novel SOMETHING WORTH SAVING (Kensington Books, November 2018), I’ll be giving readers a sneak peak of what’s to come.

This month I’d like to tell you about Lily. Lily is the cat narrator of Something Worth Saving. She has a different personality from Boo, the narrator of The Astonishing Thing. Here is the “Personality Board” I created when I was brainstorming the second book and trying to determine how Lily was different from Boo:

BOO (The Astonishing Thing)

Sassy, snippy, sarcasticFunny (not always intentionally)FussyEasily offendedLoving, trustingNaïve and childish at timesA little spoiledThinks of herself as small and helpless, but is determined to help her family 

 

LILY (Something Worth Saving)

Bossy and confident, but kindExperienced hunter, athletic, outdoorsyMouthy (meows until humans pay attention)Active: gives head butts, loves tummy rubs, stands on back legs and gazes upCurious, gets into trouble, wants to know how things workBeautiful and knows it, a show-offWants to be heroic, but knows she may not be the true hero of this story

 

Despite their differences, both cats care tremendously for their humans!

Is your cat a Boo or a Lily?
