WHERE WOLVES TALK
by D.L. Lewis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Kitten,
an American tabby residing in England, is a frustrated cat. He knows his place
in the world: he was born to kill. Killing, after all, is what felines are
supposed to do. Confined within his Lady's house, however, the young fellow is
deprived of the opportunity to hunt live prey. The mansion is a sterile
playground for a predator; offering nothing more than furniture which allows
itself to be brutalized far too easily. The ambitious cat is bored and hungry
for a challenge.
Kitten learns of a
passage hidden in his Lady's library: the Door, which leads to an unknown
world. The cat has been told that the source of all evil dwells openly in this
place. The feline is eager to fight the sinister personage and goes through the
Door with no hesitation.
The tabby finds himself
in what appears to be a forest like any other in England. It doesn't take long
for him to learn that this is a very different place.
Written in the basic
style of classic stories like THE LORD OF THE RINGS, WATERSHIP DOWN, and THE
CHRONICLES OF NARNIA, this novel can be appreciated on different levels. To
some readers, it's an allegorical tale: thought-provoking and filled with
symbolism. To others, it's an adventure-filled page-turner.

Excerpt :
First Horse, snorting and puffing, began to prance in place
before her general and the tabby. Sinewy legs of solid muscle kicked high to
break sharply at the knee and then dropped, like slow springs, only to bounce back
into the break again after the first contact with the ground; as though the
equine’s alabaster hooves feared the gentle kiss of the earth, yet couldn’t
resist seeking it, over and over again. Erupting out of the controlled prance
and into wild self-expression, the filly turned and kicked up her back feet in
celebration of giddy feel-good happiness. One big jump-kick, two big
jump-kicks, one near-somersault, and she dashed forward into an abrupt gallop
that halted as soon as it had begun; chunks of disturbed earth flying into the
air as hooves dug into terra firma for a flashy halt. In a final explosion of
showing off, the quadruped kicked her hind feet up so high that Kitten feared
the equine might tumble forward into a spine-shattering roll. First Horse
wasn’t so foolish as to perform such a self-destructive feat, however, and
brought her heels back to earth a millisecond before her equilibrium reached
the endangered point. Standing suddenly quiet, she bowed her head to her
superior.
Wolf’s tail drummed against the ground in an expression of
appreciation for the athletic show. “What’s got into my girl today? Did you
find a field of oats and stuff yourself into this tizzy of excess energy?”
