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.

The Luckiest Cat in the World






Hi, Tom here..

Am I the luckiest cat? You bet!

Here's why:

I have a whole series of books devoted to me and my big mouth. Everything I say
and do is sacred. Even my ego has been sanctified.

I started out on the streets, wound up at a parish rectory and they made
me a priest. I heard another cat wound up at a convent and they turned her into
a nun..but that's another story.

I know some pretty special people - Father Will. Okay here's my take. Great eye candy, likes things just so. If he were at the pearly gates right now, he'd be polishing them.

Father Jack. Great old guy. White mustache, looks like St. Peter or a philosopher.
I don't think he'd mind posing a toast to the Man upstairs with the apostles gathered
'round.

Mary Lou - Housekeeper who would purr if she could. Her cracks are almost as
good as mine.

Patsy Gubbers - Poor soul. Talks both to her dead husband and dead cat. Vinny,
now there was a cat who could catch mice and never say he's sorry.

That's just the beginning, folks. Oh, there's Anastasia, too. Tiny whisp of a thing.
I'm positive she has fairy wings. After all, she has pink hair and the longest
fingernails *sigh*

FEATHER, my first book, just received an incredible review and that's another
reason I'm lucky.  Here it is: http://www.mochasmysteriesmeows.com

Mom Paula says she'll put your books on her reading list to read once she retires within the next 18 months.

Thank you all for your kind words. We're going to have the books coming out pretty regularly so you'll never have to be without Tom's family for very long. We know you'll enjoy them and we promise once you begin reading, you'll never know what's coming next!

Hello, Tom. I don't comment much on Facebook, but I saw that your mum's aunt passed away and wanted to send my condolences. It sounds like cats have lost a good friend in her. Also, I like the poem at the head of your mum's Facebook page very much.
