Hi all—I'm taking a moment to honor my fellow romance author Cat Lavoie who passed recently. Cat and I ran in the same "chick lit" circles for years, and I remember her as a happy, supportive writer with great ideas and sound advice. Cat loved...well, cats, so today we're remembering our friend with the Cat Lavoie Virtual Pet Parade. I'm posting a picture of my two knuckleheads, Charlotte the Black and Meatball. I'm sure Cat would have loved them. If you'd like to join the Virtual Pet Parade, post a picture of your pet—or an animal in nature or art—using the hashtag #CatLavoiePetParade. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to #petsmartcharities, which helps animals find their happily ever afters in forever homes in honor of Cat and her beloved rescue cats, Abbie, Molly, and Paddington. Select the option to make your donation in memory of Cat Lavoie. If you’d prefer to donate in Cat’s name to a local animal charity or rescue organization, that would be awesome too! Thanks...
