Applesauce and Moonbeams

by Carol A Strickland

Overview

Soft and wacky sci fi!

A Telepathic Hitman Has Stolen His Body

Beware the Fashion Police!

After a hit man blasts telepathic psychiatrist David Lumen's mind into the body of a pampered kitty on its way home to the moon, David's desperate plan to make himself whole again is hampered by his new feline life. The only person close enough to communicate with is struggling avant-garde artist, Pippin Applegate.

Pippin has problems of her own. The Fashion Police ticket her unmercifully for appearing disheveled in public, even though her accidents are never quite her fault. Her aunt is pressuring her to quit art and become VP of the family's Lunar apple business. And now Pippin has to deal with a telepathic cat?

Together they spot David's body walking around... with the hit man's mind inside. Can David regain his true body when it's leaving a trail of chaos and murder that leads to Pippin's make-or-break art show?

About the Author

When you think of strong women and strange worlds, think Carol A. Strickland.

Although born in a small town in Illinois noted for its Nineteenth Century demonic possession cases, Carol claims that all those voices inside her head are a result of having stories to tell and books to write. Even so, her strange devotion to and study of Wonder Woman would seem to indicate an abby-normal brain.

A one-time comics letterhack and outspoken member of various comics message boards, Carol has found herself the basis for two comic book villains (at times her opinions have not been taken well by the books' creators) (both villains were soundly thrashed) (and both, for some perverse reason, were male) and had one superhero wear her costume design. (Light Lass!)

Carol has also become an award-winning painter. Along with her writing, she exercises this skill in her secondary hours (both of them) as she waits for the lottery to free her 9-to-5 time to more fulfilling pursuits.
