Subject Line: Siblings? Alike or Not?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Do you have siblings? And are you similar in some ways or just very different?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I could share about my own family since I had an older brother and a younger sister. However, I’m going to talk about the two kittens I adopted September 1, 2022. It has been an interesting time getting to see how different they both are, even though they are littermates and look almost identical.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first one I named Lovey, but I could also have called him, Rebel, Rascal, or Climber. He loves to \u201cpush the envelope.: He knows what he is not supposed to do, but he doesn’t want to obey all the time. Of course, he is only the equivalent of a four or five-year-old in human years so I have to understand that his sudden impulses and impetuous behavior are to be expected!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The other thing is that he is a born predator. He wants to hunt. But we live in the woods where there are a lot of things that eat cats. And the road near our property is very busy. So he cannot go outside to hunt. I have begun putting some bait out on a mat near our sliding glass door so he can watch squirrels, chipmunks, etc. come up to the door. He watches them avidly and wishes his mom wasn\u2019t so mean.<\/p>\n

His brother, when we named Browser, could also have been named Chowhound. He loves his food and he\u2019s very treat-oriented whereas his brother is fun-oriented. He also has already matured more quickly than his brother and just wants to get along. He’s very loving, but he does not want me to pick him up or hold him. Lovey, on the other hand, climbs up on my lap for loves a couple times a day and is very much a lap cat. Browser (whom I also call Brow-Brow) prefers birds over furry prey. He will jump to the window when he catches sight of one and makes a fun growly noise in his throat.<\/p>\n

I chose this topic because my new series, \u201cThe Preacher\u2019s Daughters,\u201d is the story of three sisters: Hannah, Abby a\"Hannah'snd Lucy. I won\u2019t reveal which they are\u2014alike or different. But I think you\u2019ll find them an intersting trio of heroines, startingn with Book 1, HANNAH\u2019S HOMETOWN HERO~<\/a><\/p>\n

Can a shy girl find her moxie and win her hometown hero?\u00a0 <\/span>Or \u201clet\u201d him win her?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a glimpse:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cGuthrie couldn\u2019t speak.<\/p>\n

Reaching over, he pulled Hannah to him. He just wanted to comfort her. But the feeling of her softness in his arms went to his head. He kissed her hair, fragrant of spices, then her eyebrows. Her eyes closed. He kissed her eyelids, first one, then the other. Petal soft. Such softness brought feelings, emotions bubbling up from deep inside him.<\/p>\n

Tilting up her chin, Hannah smoothed back his golden hair, then rested her hand on his chest.<\/p>\n

A warmth, healing and vital, flowed through him like a cleansing prayer. \u2018Hannah, you\u2019re a wonderful woman. You make me believe\u2026\u2019 Maybe he might get a second chance, after all.\u201d Click here <\/a>to learn more.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019ve told about the brothers in our house. Are your siblings similar or very different tham you are? I wll gift a copy of this book to a few commenters. Tell me about your siblings to enter the drawing. Lyn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
