CATSMAS

In a dangerous and uncertain world, can a group of individuals find the courage of faith to risk and seek after something higher? A story of community, family, friends and enemies, Catsmas is an anthropomorphic tale (human traits given to animal characters) of love and hate, good versus evil, leaders and followers, youth and maturity, jealousy and grace, deception and truth, nobility and selfishness. Catsmas also asks the question, what happens if the prodigal son doesnt come home? Whether appreciated simply as a good story or for a deeper allegorical meaning, Catsmas will be enjoyed at different levels by readers of all ages.
