Miss Moo's first book sale

On the evening of June 19, the Colorado Parrot Head Club hosted a Miss Moo book sale at their monthly meeting at Table Steaks East in Denver. The meeting featured live music by Three Sheets and a charity raffle. Along with the usual margarita-themed raffle items, two Miss Moo paw-printed books and two $25 gift certificates to Hillside Gallery were given as prizes. The raffle raised $292 for the Cat Care Society of Lakewood, CO.

Miss Moo's Television Debut

On May 4, Miss Moo author Carrie Dow and illustrator Roxanne Macke appeared on Colorado and Company, Channel 9 KUSA, to promote Morning, Miss Moo. They were very nervous, but the staff, including producer Dreux DeMack and host Denise Plante, made them feel welcome and it turned out to be fun. They even got to meet Hazel Miller, Denver jazz icon. Co Co also posted a link to the Miss Moo Blog on their website.

3)  Always question authority.

It never hurts to ask for what you want, just remember to be polite. And if they say no, ask again. And again and again and again. You'll wear them down eventually.

Making new friends

Elaine Estern of St. John, USVI, shared a photo of her cat enjoying my new book. Looks like a winner! She also said the grandkids loved it and they even learned a new word: Ornery. Now when they are acting up, she can say they are acting like Miss Moo (hey wait, that's me!).

2)  Eat every meal as if it's your last.


Food tastes good so you might as well enjoy eating it. A full tummy is a happy tummy.

Miss Moo's Guide to Happiness, Rule #1

1) Take a nap at every opportunity

Life is tough. Be sure to get enough rest. Besides, you never know when you'll have to run away from something much larger than you. Be ready, be rested.
