New Cat Book Arriving Soon

I'm forwarding my press release regarding my upcoming book, THE CAT'S FANCY.
The book will be released by Dorchester in August.  I hope you look for it!!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

For the love of cats...
CAT LOVER PENS ROMANCE NOVELS

Austin, TX -- Julie Kenner has been a cat-lover all her life, and her love
of all things feline shines through in her second novel, THE CAT'S FANCY, an
August 2000 release from Dorchester's Love Spell line.

The heroine and "star" of the book, Maggie, just happens to be a cat.  And
what makes the book even more fun is that, in the tradition of The Little
Mermaid and Splash, Maggie has fallen in love with a human.  A cat by day, a
human by night, Maggie has one week to convince Nicholas that he loves her.
The catch?  Nick has to say the words aloud, and Maggie can't reveal her
secret.

"I tried to bring a lot of feline traits to Maggie's personality, both when
she's actually a cat, and when she's a woman.  I spent a significant amount
of time watching my four cats.  A lot of their habits are reflected in
Maggie," said Kenner.

In addition to writing about cats, Kenner and her husband also have four of
their own -- the two most recent having been adopted from the neighborhood
ferel cat population.  Avid animal lovers, the Kenners have begun a
trap-spay/neuter-and-release program in their community.  A portion of
Kenner's proceeds from THE CAT'S FANCY is earmarked for animal causes.  The
dedication in THE CAT'S FANCY gives just a hint of how many special kitties
Kenner says have touched her life.  A few of Kenner's cats can be seen on
her website, www.juliekenner.com (the photo album is located on Kenner's
"bio" page).

In addition to playing with her cats and writing, Kenner is a full-time
attorney.  Her first novel, NOBODY DOES IT BETTER, was a February 2000
release from Harlequin Temptation, which received excellent reviews.
Already, THE CAT'S FANCY has cat lovers and lovers of light paranormal
romance raving:

"THE CAT'S FANCY deserves a place on any reader's Keeper shelf..."
Ann Garland, for wordweaving.

"Well ... sit back and start reading this cute as can be tale of Ms.
Kenner's. She is a pure delight, she's fun, she gives readers what they
want, a story to take you away and make you forget the rest of the world.
[THE CAT'S FANCY is] SPLENDID!!" Donita Lawrence for Bell, Book & Candle.

Kenner attended the University of Texas, where she received a B.S. in
Radio-Television-Film.  Following college, Kenner attended Baylor
University's School of Law.  At 22, she graduated second in her class, and
went on to clerk on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals for the Honorable
Judge Sam D. Johnson.

Following her clerkship, Kenner moved to Los Angeles and practiced law for
six years in Southern California before returning to Austin, Texas

A schedule of Kenner's book-signings and speaking engagements, as well as
excerpts from Kenner's books and information about upcoming releases, can be
found at her website: www.juliekenner.com.

Best!
