    In days gone by, groups of West Indian men, women , boys and girls would congregate on evenings and tell tales.  When a story was finished, the narrator would say :"I stepped on the wire and the wire won't bendand that is how my story end".Some of the short stories in this collection have been awarded prizes in international competitions.  The majority are written in standard English.  A few, though are expressed in the beautiful Barbadian English that many readers find enjoyable.  In these days of global warming and super storms "9-22" is especially relevant. It recounts the experiences of a young boy as Hurricane Janet  raged on September 22, 1955.  "Knight-Mayers" pokes a bit of fun at the use of "double-barreled" names by married ladies.  "Fo'day Morning" is one of the author's first successes as it won third prize in an international competition sponsored by the BBC in England.  "Well, Well, Well" copped first prize in another competition sponsored by the Government of Venezuela in the 1980s.  "The Bend" is one of the author's favorites. If you are not moved by his treatment of the subject of human trafficking, you will be touched by the beautiful song "Why Me" at the beginning. Please enjoy and share these stories.

    Miguel Rosado wants nothing more than to see and draw the world … or at least anywhere beyond the four walls of his family’s bodega in Washington Heights.  
 
Too bad his mami and papi have him working long hours after school, hoping he’ll appreciate the sacrifices they’ve made to keep the store afloat. For street-savvy and newly adopted cat Lolo, that sounds just perfect if it means he’s far, far away from the hungry, lonely nights he once spent in the freezing-cold outdoors. 
 
But when Miguel ditches his responsibilities and lies to his parents about joining art club, his dream of juggling it all comes crashing down. Lolo will have to decide if he’s willing to be there for his new friend Miguel through anything—even venturing back into the frightful and busy New York City sidewalks. Can they trust each other enough to take on this adventure together? 
 
“A warm tale that embraces, sings, purrs, and never lets go! Bodega Cats reminds us home is wherever a friend can be found!”—Julian Randall, author of Pilar Ramirez and the Escape from Zafa
