Boots

By Angel Martinez

Willem's lost his job and his boyfriend, and now possibly his mind when his cat calls him a nitwit.

Willem's father never approved of his artistic talents, his choices in life, or the fact that he's gay. When the only thing Horst leaves to Willem is the family cat, he thinks it's his father's last insult from the grave. That is, until the cat starts talking to him.

Though Willem's lost his boyfriend, his home, and his job, Kasha, who claims to be a magic cat, reassures him that all will be well. All he needs is Willem's trust and a good pair of boots. But giving boots to a talking cat has unexpected consequences when odd events ambush Willem at every turn, such as the appearance of a handsome stranger in his arms at night. While he begins to suspect Kasha's plans might be dangerous for all involved, how can he distrust such a charming kitty in cowboy boots?

Angel Martinez

The unlikely black sheep of an ivory tower intellectual family, Angel Martinez has managed to make her way through life reasonably unscathed. Despite a wildly misspent youth, she snagged a degree in English Lit, married once and did it right the first time, (same husband for almost twenty-four years) gave birth to one amazing son, (now in college) and realized at some point that she could get paid for writing. Published since 2006, Angel's cynical heart cloaks a desperate romantic. You'll find drama and humor given equal weight in her writing and don't expect sad endings. Life is sad enough. She currently lives in Delaware in a drinking town with a college problem and writes Science Fiction and Fantasy centered around gay heroes.
