Fun Little Book

A Tale of Two Lions. Anyone who likes cats both large and small will enjoy this book. The Big Kitties are very personable.

A Breath of Fresh Air

This "simple" novel is a breath of fresh air. True literary strength as Roberto Ransom weaves an intriguing tale by mixing two strangely linked "lions." The novel will have you strangely uncomfortable in the skin of neurotic Lorenzenaccio and laughing out loud at story of Jeremiah and Pasha. A fast read but one that leaves you thinking.
