Anne McPhail sees a child on the terrace of the local cafe who doesn’t seem to belong to her minders and then Ari, the Mossad agent who saved Anne’s life, seeks her out with a plan to rescue the child from kidnappers. Should she trust him? 

I had a note from Virginia Winters, a terrific writer, from Canada.

Hi Jack: 

Kat Caffee, a blogger at Pukah Works interviewed me and two characters from (my latest book) The Child on the Terrace, Anne McPhail and Thomas Beauchamp.

As for me...

Arline says I'm in a snit, but I can't help it, because I'm feline. But ... I AM the Bookstore Cat, right? I AM Top Cat around this place, right? Well let me tell you what happened...

Roger gave us treats this morning and he let my baby sister, Spunky, have hers FIRST! You can't imagine the shocked look on my face when he reached for Her dish. Or maybe you can. 

This is a serious breach. I am supposed to get treats first! He knows that!  I couldn't help it, I arched my back and spat at him. 

Oh he petted me and tried to make it up. He even played his guitar and sang for me, but I'm still upset! I can't help it. After all, how would You feel?

Please don't forget to let me know 

what you are all up to! 

Just send arline@mail.com a message with 

 "News for Jack" 

in the subject line, and

I'll make sure it shows up right here. 

  Thanks!
