The Cat Who Would Be King (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781953068033)

The sky is blue.

Water is wet.

And cats most definitely do not talk.

Reporter Thomas Kane knows that boring articles don't sell newspapers, and as the newest hire at the Daily Gazette, he's always on the lookout for a tantalizing story to write. When he gets a tip about an interview with Bastien the First, the elusive and presumably dead king of Qar, Thomas assumes it's a cruel prank by jealous coworkers determined to see him fail.

As a cat, life is far superior for Bastien than his two-legged counterparts. Bastien has settled nicely into retirement where he enjoys a quiet life as a pampered tavern cat while keeping his true identity a secret. Obscurity has its downsides, however, and it's time for his extraordinary story to be told.

The Cat Who Would Be King is a humorous novelette told in duel point of views.
