Thirteen Cats LaVelle is a memoir that tells the story of a Midwestern family through the short lives of each of their thirteen cats. Many things change over the thirty-year rise and fall of the LaVelle family – all but their inability to keep cats alive. Every death of a cat marks another chapter in the silly and sometimes serious lives of the LaVelles.
Dark, honest and very funny, Thirteen Cats LaVelle isn’t your everyday pet memoir. Like in real life, all the cats in this book eventually die. But unlike real life, LaVelle is able to uncover the lighter side of losing a pet and document the concurrent family drama.
Thirteen Cats LaVelle is now available on Amazon, If you’d like to receive updates on readings, promotions or other book-related whimsy, you can either “like” Thirteen Cats LaVelle on Facebook or sign up for updates in the right hand column of this page.
I think your readers, although not along the same subject lines as feline mortality, might appreciate a story about how Shameless got his nickname.
