DECRYPTING THEE CACHE, by Jennifer Kirsch

   Treading through a shadowy woods didn’t rank high on my fun list. Yet I found myself surrounded by tangled tree limbs and hairy vines one Sunday evening. My new friend Dev crept along with me as we navigated angry roots, sprawling branches, and knotty trunks that resembled our knobby-nosed history teacher.

   We hoped to find a geocache. “You know,” I’d explained to Dev, “a hidden container you find using a navigation app.” But he’d wanted to see it for himself.

Jack's News!

  by your Official Bookstore Cat, 
and gossip columnist!

Author Andy Nunez sends word he'll be making a personal appearance at the NATIONAL OUTDOOR SHOW at the end of this month. Also, Andy confided he  is planning to write three more books: GHOSTS III, TREASURES II, and WARRIORS OF THE EASTERN SHORE. We can't wait.

Our newest author, Jennifer Kirsch, sent in the attached art as a possible cover for her book DECRYPTING THE CACHE. She also confided she' almost done with the second in the series. Looks good to me! What do you think of it?  Spunky thinks it needs a gray and white and tan cat,  right down front,  peeking into the box. I've told her and told her there's no cat in the story. 

I'm afraid my baby sister is not a very good reader. Besides, if anyone were going to add a cat to this, it should be a mysterious-looking blue figure hiding in the shadows, not the Harlequin feline figure she describes.

Tomorrow is Sid's birthday. We probably won't see him, or celebrate, until Sunday, cause that's when he, and his lady, come to dinner. I sure hope Arline doesn't try to bake a cake...she makes terrible cake.
