Change of Course

Dear Faithful Readers (all two of you),

At the risk of dashing you on the rocks of disappointment, I have decided (albeit reluctantly) to leave the further telling of my story to another.

Please. No tears. Really, I couldn't... Oh dear. Need a moment to myself.

(Sounds of loud and comprehensive nose blowing off page)

(sniff) I assure you that the full account of my enthralling adventure (titled She How She Runs, available in soft cover and for Kindle via Amazon in summer, 2013), as told by my first-rate friend and chronicler, C. D. Davis, will make you glad of my decision.

You may well ask, "So, Dapperling, you bumptious little layabout, what do you intend to do with yourself now that you've given up your autobiographical ramblings?"

I'm still pondering that, as a matter of fact.

Meanwhile, I'll tell you about another fascinating mouse: Gabriella Caprella.

The year is 1912, and the orphaned Gabriella works as a char mouse, cleaning up around the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. One day, her life changes forever when she learns that she's the heir of her late mother's uncle, Giancarlo Conte d'Asiago. Gabriella soon finds herself in beautiful, mysterious Venice, Italy, where she must fend off murderous relatives, persistent suitors, and bloodthirsty vampires to claim her title as Contessa d'Asiago and restore her family's honor.

Wow! Now, there's a life almost as fraught with incident as mine.

Anyway, Gabriella's story is a pretty cool one. (And rather important to me, as I'll explain someday.) You can read all about her in Darklings, available in softcover and for Kindle via Amazon, 15 August.

Hugs and kisses,
Prudence
