Santa Paws

<p>My orange tabby cat and littermate Morris (Town) Bucci was the inspiration I used to create and tell my granddaughter Katie an off-the-cuff story about a boy and his cat Santa Paws and how he saved Christmas during one of the worst snowstorms in Alaska during the winter of 1974.</p><p></p><p> While telling her the story I carefully detailed all the nuances that kept her attention over forty-five minutes not too bad for an eight-year-old to keep an interest.</p><p></p><p> I used her desire of wanting to know more and focus on everything from including comedy drama fantasy and determination to save Hunter's missing parents and overcome a hopeless situation until Santa Paws led the way and brought them to Santa Claus to ask for his help.</p><p></p><p> This led the way for me to research and write this story injecting fact fiction fantasy and reality to create the most believable story including a sequel teaser to hunt for a lost civilization and treasure.</p>
