Introducing Minou de la Rue and her Friends

As I continue to work on publishing Freddys French Fries Fiasco, I am already working on my next book, Minou de la Rue and her Friends. That is the working title, as I am not sure how it will develop. My books end up telling me what their titles will be once they are ready.

As a professional writer, I usually start with the development of the story itself, as if I need to write what I saw in my mind. The characters talk to me, telling my what they want to do.

This time, I am starting my next book with the development of the characters. It seems to be the right thing to do with Minou de la Rue. Let me introduce you to Minou and some of her friends.

Minou is an adventurous cat who enjoys life and meeting all her friends, animal and human a like. She is a very beautiful gray cat with long fluffy fur and great big green coloured almond shaped eyes. In one of her adventures, when she was very young, she hurt her tail, and now it flops down to her side. She is very proud of this goofy tail and prances around proudly showing it off.

She meets Ausland, a big dog, who is very protective of her, when she is looking for adventures.
Nozum is her brother, who teaches her a lot about life, as he is older than she is. Minou does not always listen.
Minou meets up with Ricki the Raccoon, who loves to wander through the night and find treasures. His mother is always close by to protect him and Ricki is a little bit rebellious.

She also meets a new cat on the block. His name is Harley. He is a very excitable and rambunctious little cat who already writes about his life on his blog, harleysadeventures.blogspot.com.

There are a few more characters that are developing, they are still maturing.
I will keep you posted and introduce you to the rest of the characters when they are ready.
