Notes from a parish cat and his author Julie Mackenzie

My photo
I am Father Tom Fish, esteemed member of the religious team at Temptation of Christ Parish in the novels by author Julie Mackenzie. As to my background, I was invited into the rectory as a stray, laid on the charm, and was invited to stay, even honorarily ordained and no less spiritual than my sidekick Father Will. He dotes on me to high heaven and forgives all of my street cat proclivities, whatever the hell that means.

Happy Thanksgiving!



Tom and I are going to share this post today so we can wish everyone in the CB, our family, friends and our publisher Inkwater Press a very happy Thanksgiving.

This is the latest picture of Mittens with Tom in the background, along with books (which seem to be everywhere) and flowers. We're thankful for those who have inspired us and the new generation represented here who, when they're not playing, will see to our future!

Take care, everyone and a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Where have I been? I missed welcoming little Mittens. He is lovely. I, too have not had a kitten in my life for many years so fostering the little greys has been a wonderful experience. "Welcome, welcome sweet little Mittens. Be good to Tom.
"Happy Thanksgiving from Canada."

I love that inquisitive look that only kittens can truly pull off. That "I have so never seen anything quite like that" look.. it is so sweet.

Happy Thanksgiving

Ah Mittens is a newbie. Where were we when this grand event transpired. Well, we missed a lot of wonderful happenings in the last couple three months. Soo sorry, but we'll catch up. Got the problems solve, at least most of them.

Have a happy rest of the holiday, the holiday weekend and the whole month, along with the next two big holidays.

Ya'll stay safe, be happy, keep warm, and come when you can.

What a sweet picture of Mittens. He'll get used to you taking pictures of you quickly enough we imagine!
Books, books everywhere! Just like my house!
