Mew-velous News!
Miss Alley, Frankie and their feline friends have set out on their third adventure!
Miss Alley and Frankie are stuck inside the house and away from their feline friends. Will they spend their time cat-napping? Or will they sneak their way up to the attic and help Da figure out what’s causing that strange scratching noise?Will a fierce winter snowstorm, surprise guests, and other mishaps prevent Miss Alley and Frankie from completing their mission?
With Miss Alley’s quick wit and Frankie’s cleverness, the pair are able to overcome the challenges before them and discover the meaning of forgiveness and gratitude.

It is with enormous joy that I introduce you to The Curiosity Adventures of Miss Alley ~ Frankie and the Felines, that I wrote (or rather transcribed) and illustrated for Miss Alley. Though the work is intended for children ages ten to twelve, I believe, Miss Alley will inspire and capture the hearts of children and adults alike!
The Curiosity Adventures of Miss Alley ~ Frankie and the Felines, is a delightful and endearing story, told from the cat’s perspective. After being abandoned as a kitten, Miss Alley is rescued by a kind lady. Her “human” parents smother her with love and provide her with all sorts of creature comforts. As she grows into a young feline lady, Miss Alley wonders about her Feline Mum and the big world outside. One day she sneaks out in search of her Feline Mum. What Miss Alley discovers is the meaning of acceptance, family, friendship and unconditional love.
