She still refused to look at him, but she could feel the heated flush of anger again in her cheeks. “Cooperate with the guards.

This is just a quick post about something that’s been on my mind for a while. It’s sad that there are so many preconceived ideas about YA novels, ideas that show those who speak about them, very often haven’t read any. I’m writing for adults, children and Young Adults and in one of my writer’s […]
Publication date: 2015 Pages: 350 Word count: ? Ages: YA They are all innocent until proven guilty. But not me. I am a liar until I am proven honest. What a book! I finished it a while ago but I’m still stunned. Sometimes you read a book and the topic shocks you. Then you read a book […]
Publication date: 2014 Pages: 198 Word count: ? Ages: YA Last year I read my first Dana Reinhardt novel (The Summer I Learned to Fly) and liked it a great deal. The story was cute, the characters lovable but what I liked the most was the tone and the voice. I knew I would read another […]

Beauty is a Sleeping Cat 
Well done! I’ll go over and read it right now.
Thanks, Marina. Did you ever read my crime flash over at Shotgun Honey? That would probably be the one you’d like the most.
Actually, I had a similar kind of sci fi inspiration for a much shorter piece which was once upon a time published in a short-lived flash fiction magazine. Here it is on my blog:

What a coincidence. I’ll be reading it right away. I miss many posts but I saw that one was published quite a while ago.
It’s here – just in case. Oh my – bad case of self-promotion.

Not at all! Really enjoyed it – talk about self-justification!
Thanks, Marina.
Congratulations on having your story published, Caroline. It is a very thought-provoking read. Your author comments at the end resonated with me. Every species is worthy and has its own intrinsic value.
Thanks so much for the comment and for reading it. I really find speciesism doesn’t get nearly as much attention as it should. That’s why I’m always glad to find other animal lovers like you. Say “Hi” to Reggie.
Fabulous! Congratulations on being published.
Thanks Claire.
Caroline, it was a lovely, lovely story. I am a fan of your short stories. I loved the last one that you shared too. Your comment at the end was profound, and enlightening. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Thank you so much, Deepika. It means a lot.
Congratulations! That was a funny story.
Thanks, Delia. I’m glad you found it funny.
Good for you Caroline. That’s two stories you’ve had published recently, right?
Thanks, Guy. It’s actually the fourth and the fifth is forthcoming.
I have only read tow, but wordpress keeps altering my e-mail instant update. Most annoying
Great story Caroline.
I loved the Twist.
Thanks, Brian. I’m glad you liked it.
Wonderful story, Caroline! I could guess the ending but it was surprising all the same when I reached the end 🙂 Interesting alternate universe. Thanks for sharing.
I saw a few comments on Facebook that were not too kind but it’s not only about humans being in a zoo, it’s about a lot more.
Thanks for reading and your nice comment, Vishy.
Congrats, Caroline! Going to read it right now.
Thanks, Carole.
