Herding Cats and Other Alien Creatures: The Indian Creek Anthology Series Volume 21 - Paperback

by Janet Wolanin Alexander (Author), Marian Allen (Author), J. Baumgartle (Author)

There is magic in these nine stories, two poems, and single work of creative nonfiction. Among its wild array of visions are a band of ruffians waylaying "Living Books" on a strangely Earth-like planet; a cat-like alien astronaut whose ship lands at the bottom of an English garden; a hilarious case of "cat-o-strophic spelling" in New York City and some more cosmically fortunate magic at a school for young wizards; a Native American "ghost walker" fighting evil "spiderlings" on a distant asteroid; and a comedy - set in more familiar Hoosier territory - of middle-aged lovers in crisis, a rebellious teenager, and a biker gang leader named Mongo.

Author Biography

The Southern Indiana Writers' Group has been more-or-less together since 1992. We began meeting monthly in a conference room in a local hospital. We now meet weekly to exchange information and expertise on everything from computers to poetry. The group also serves as a critique forum (in the same sense that a pack of wolves serves as food critics). Membership is limited, but visitors are welcome and have been known to fit in so well they become members against their better judgment.
