Pawprints in the Snow

December 17, 2017 Written by Dara

Christmas Tales

One of my stories in The Christmas Tales Bundle is PAWPRINTS IN THE SNOW. This fantasy tale was inspired by the memory of one of the (many) cats I’ve had the privilege of caring for as a cat sitter (or lady-in-waiting  in most cases). I won’t use names, but this cat was delightfully sneaky and I always wondered what she would do if her owner got into trouble. What would she say, how would she act?  This story was the answer.
