BOOK EXPO REDUX

Steve and his female completed their weekend of hyping The World Is Your Litter Box at Book Expo America (BEA). From what I can gather, BEA was pretty crowded and intense… certainly no place for a kitty (a real one like me or a robotic one like Shill). Steve and the female came home blathering and drooling at the end of each day, but they did make some new friends and made them aware of my book.

On the international front, Steve and his female learned that the French are VERY excited about The World Is Your Litter Box. Mon dieu! Rights are currently being negotiated for release of the book in the language of l’amour, so within the next few months, Litter Box will be in the paws of chats in France, Belgium and other countries where the French language is spoken. Rights are also being negotiated for publication of the book in other languages, and it will soon be distributed in Canada and the UK… proving once again that the world truly IS your litter box!

BOOK EXPO AMERICA

This weekend, at my behest, Steve and his female will be attending Book Expo America (BEA), which is the mother of all book trade shows… book industry humans come from all around the country to attend. Too scary for cats, though. I think even Shill, my robotic book signing emissary kitty, will pass on this one.

This year, BEA is being held in Los Angeles, which is highly convenient (and cheap) for Steve and his female. They’ll be in the Sterling Publishing booth schmoozing with anyone who will listen to them and spreading the word about The World Is Your Litter Box. And here’s the best part (for moi, anyway)… being a cat author, I don’t have to do anything! While Steve and the female are spending endless hours in a packed, teeming conventional hall promoting MY book, I’ll be… that’s right, at home napping in all my favorite places.

Is it great to be a literary lion (or, at least, a literary kitty) or what?
