One Day Left To Send In Your Cat Photos!

lolgalleycats-bookbag.jpg

Just a quick reminder that you should email us your cat photos (and tell us something about the cat!) by, oh, 6 p.m. (Eastern) Wednesday, because I've got to get all the posts scheduled in advance before I go away for the weekend

As an extra incentive, I can now announce that, once all the pics have been published, GalleyCat readers will be able to vote on their favorite, and that cat's owner will receive a copy of An Infamous Army, the classic historical romance novel by Georgette Heyer recommended to NPR listeners by Nancy Pearl, along with two other Heyer novels of the winner's choice, from an assortment of the titles Sourcebooks has brought back into print.

Cat Steals Show at Signing

purrrrrfect.jpgAllia Zobel Nolan, author of over 140 books was signing her latest, PURR MORE, HISS LESS:HEAVENLY LESSONS I LEARNED FROM MY CAT at Borders, in Wilton, Connecticut this past Saturday, with the help of some tiny, eight-week-old purrballs from Pet Animal Welfare Society Shelter in Norwalk.

The author, best known for her classic, 101 REASONS WHY A CAT IS BETTER THAN A MAN, couldn't bring her own puddies, as they "don't travel well," So she approached the shelter where she volunteers for a loan of 3 kitties. Turned out a win-win situation... though the author admits... "The kittens got way more attention than I did."

The good news is that all three kittens found homes. According to Nolan

they weren't allowed to adopt "on the spot," as the shelter must do a background check (they are very strict with their puddies).
But one couple came in,....didn't buy a book....but went right down to the shelter to put their names in for one (or more???) of the kittens.

Your Pets Did Not Ask To Become Marketing Aides, People!

lolgalleycat-upgraded.jpg

When the ARCs for Where Am I Wearing?, a globetrotting examination of the places our clothes were made, showed up at his home, Kelsey Timmerman might have taken this blog's title perhaps a touch too literally... except that our publicity contacts at Wiley, which is publishing the book in November, swear to us that he'd never heard of the site before.

Which was somewhat depressing. Fortunately, the GalleyCat Army was on hand to squelch any feelings of insecurity.

"Enough With the Cake Already"

That's the anonymous complaint we got late last night, anyway. Let it never be said we don't listen to feedback...

I Can Haz Book Deel Twos?

kk.jpg Okay, we love our lolcats here at Galleycat, and as Ron reported a while back, the insanely popular I Can Has Cheezburger site got a book deal. Well, If a website featuring cats speaking broken english can get a book deal, why can't a Konjoined Kitty plush doll? I mean, just look at it. Isn't it awesome?

I think the race for a deal will be on between them and Ugly Dolls ever since they were profiled in the NYT Style Section.

Normal GalleyCat Service Will Resume Shortly

lolgalleycat-wakeup.jpg

I'm tuckered out from two straight days of attending the Tools of Change conference, plus I still haven't wrapped my head around the Anna Nicole Smith biographers suing their publisher, and the mythical basements of Terre Haute are echoing with howls of fury over Richard Ford's new three-book deal with Ecco. So I'll need a little time before I'm ready to blog this morning.

LOLGalleyCat: Max Can Read No Further

lolgalleycat-maxasleep.jpg

This photo definitely shouldn't be construed as any sort of serious editorial comment on Herbie Brennan's bestselling Faerie Wars series, which concludes this week with the publication of Faerie Lord. "I don't know why the series isn't being widely hailed as The Next Big Thing After Harry Potter," says Max's owner, Book Promotion 101 director Bella Stander. "It's terrific!" (And her teenage son agrees.)

LOLGalleycat: Walter Reassures an Anxious Public

lolgalleycat-walter.jpg

When I ran a poll around Brad Listi's book trailer, he wanted to make sure that everybody understood that his dog hadn't really been taken hostage, and that Walter was perfectly all right. And here's the proof, as the adorable pooch is corralled into another marketing campaign for Listi's novel, Attention. Deficit. Disorder.

LOLGalleyCat: Sonnet, Stoic in the Face of Despair

lolgalleycat-sonnet.jpg

Really, any caption I added to this picture of Sonnet, sent in by John Aaron of Modern Arf Entertainment, would be superfluous. At first, I wasn't sure if this picture was going to make the cut, because I was only supposed to be taking photos from authors and publishing industry pros, and Aaron's actually a sculptor and a painter. But then I saw that he's also the author of a children's guide to art called The Journey of Spotty Coverage, and that made everything okay again.

LOLGalleyCat: Rufus Calls the Tune

lolgalleycat-rufus.jpgThis is Rufus, a three-year-old golden retriever belonging to Doug Lamy, an aspiring author in Washington State who's trying to convert the manuscript for his sailing memoir, Schooner Appreciate, into a screenplay. He adds that he's looking for an agent and a producer.

Maybe that gives us all something to think about over the weekend: What's your creative/professional ambition for 2008? You can email me about it if you like—I'll probably have something to say on Monday—but I figured it was more an opportunity for personal self-reflection than anything else.
