Mason, Halo's #Kitten, All Grown Up--#Cats This Week by Karen Rose Smith



We have had the wonderful privilege of watching Paddington grow up from the day Halo gave birth. Each day has been an adventure and Paddy and her mother have given us joy beyond measure. Halo's other kittens have wonderful homes with folks who love them to death...despite the mischievous moments that probably provide the most lasting memories.

This week, Mason's dad shares with us recent photos of some his antics as well as lovable moments. He has grown into a beautiful boy.        

Mason waits at the top of the stairs for his dad to make the bed and get dressed. He knows breakfast is next on the daily to-do list.





Mason loves to sit at the window, watching birds and waiting for Dad to come home.


He blocks the door when Dad is ready to leave and anxiously waits there for his return.

Mason isn't particular where he snoozes--

perched on a shelf under his favorite art work...


 on a comfy throw on the sofa...

or on the living room sofa.




He does demand control of the remote so he doesn't miss his favorite show! 







And then there are those mischievous moments!





But in the end Mason is a picture perfect feline. Thanks, Dad, for taking such good care of him!!

THE WEDDING PROMISE

Book 8, SEARCH FOR LOVE Series

Sequel to HER SISTER



Beth Crandall has known trauma. Kidnapped from her birth family when she was three, abandoned at a mall by her kidnapper a few months later, traumatic amnesia has prevented memories from plaguing her as she was adopted and ushered into a "normal" life. But a twist of fate reunited her with her birth family recently and now she's attempting to move forward in a way she couldn't before.

As a teenager, Beth's face was scarred in an attack at a group home where her best friend lived. Now Beth is seeing a plastic surgeon, Dr. Sam Benedict, so he can remove the scar. Sam volunteers his time to the foundation Kids Cause which sends doctors all over the world to help children. Sam, who came from an abusive home, feels children need to be listened to and fixed. He and Beth connect on a deep level from the first moment they meet.

Beth has believed a romantic relationship is impossible for her given her background. But during integration into her birth family and throughout a search for her teenage best friend, Sam remains by her side. He helps to heal more than the scar on her face. Neither of them realize that Beth's search for her friend with the help of psychic Gillian Bradley (continuing character from other SEARCH FOR LOVE books) will land them in a fight for their lives.


THE WEDDING PROMISE is also available in print and will soon be in audiobook format

Karen and Paddy
USA TODAY Bestselling Author Karen Rose Smith is an only child who delved into books at an early age. She learned about kindred spirits from Anne of Green Gables, solved mysteries with Nancy Drew and wished she could have been the rider on The Black Stallion. Yet even though she escaped often into story worlds, she had many aunts, uncles and cousins around her on weekends. Her sense of family and relationships began there. Maybe that's why families are a strong theme in her novels, whether mysteries or romances. Her 95th novel will be released in 2016.

Readers often ask her about her pastimes. She has herb, flowers and vegetable gardens that help her relax. In the winter, she cooks rather than gardens.  And year round she spends most of her time with her husband, as well as her four rescued cats who are her constant companions. They chase rainbows from sun catchers, reminding her life isn't all about work, awards and bestseller lists. Everyone needs that rainbow to chase.

Karen looks forward to interacting with readers. They can find her at the links below.
