That’s right – we have a new book out!
I wrote this one quite a number of years ago; it was one of my first NaNoWriMo novels. Just for fun, because “Puss in Boots” is one of my favourite fairy tales. I mean, what’s not to like about a story of a cat who wears boots and bosses around a young miller’s son, and in the end gets him his fortune?
In case you can’t remember the details of the story, I won’t give you any more spoilers than that. But I’ll just say that this book follows the Grimm’s outline rather closely, except that there are a few extra characters added, several of them with four legs, or paws, as it were (and one with three).


Until quite recently, this book lived in my files under the title Something With Cats – because, you know, when someone asked me what I was writing all I knew was that it was Something With Cats.
So, without further ado (but one small added drumroll: drrrrrrrrrummmmmm), here it is. Introducing, for your reading pleasure:
Martin Millerson, or, Something With Cats: a Retelling of “Puss in Boots”!
You never know what will happen when you buy your cat a pair of boots…
Martin Millerson is a dreamer who would rather write verse than work in his family’s mill. Still, he is bitterly disappointed when the only legacy he gets from his father is a cat. But then the cat starts to talk. And ask for a pair of boots. And everything changes.
Can Martin, his friend Walter Shoemaker, Nicolaida the new Town Witch, and Mafalda the King’s Daughter work together to rid the town of the menace beyond its gates? Or will it take the cunning of a cat—A Cat in Boots?
You can get it at your favourite online bookstores:
-on Amazon for Kindle and in print
-on Kobo or Nook for epub readers
-on iBooks and other vendors
-on Smashwords in most Ebook formats (including Kindle)
So, hie thee to an (electronic) bookshop, and get thyself a copy!
Life, the Universe, and MARTIN MILLERSON! Let me know what you think of it.

So excited for this! What better way to brighten up the dreariest time of year than with a new A.M. Offenwanger book?!?
