Advance Praise for Kat Tales "If you enjoy hearing about animals getting the best of Katy Brown as much as I do, then you'll LOVE this book!" -Brad McElhinny, Managing Editor The Charleston Daily Mail ... Life is anything but tame. It's true that essayist Kathryn Brown knows how to tell a story. What's especially interesting is that Katy's success as an independent published author began with her amusing Facebook posts, considered a daily comic strip by her readers. In her first book of non-fiction, Kat Tales, a memoir of life with animals, you'll discover for yourself how Katy's creativity runs wild! Each adventure is laugh-out- loud funny, from a dangerous raccoon that she couldn't get rid of, to a pair of intruders that she couldn't wait to catch. Katy describes through vivid detail how even the smallest pet can turn into the biggest worry. Katy's humorous criticism of her own life is highlighted by dueling dialogues and awkward attempts to explain her way out of wacky situations. Kat Tales may be a collection of short stories, but it's every bit of a reality show in print! If you loved Lucy, then you'll adore Katy.
