Thea Tells All

My Take

DiVoran Lites

Purrow. It’s been a while since I wrote you.
I’m lying on Ma’s bed. (She lets me call her ma now)
And taking a rest from having company.
While I chat.

Lacey and Jacob and their Ma and Pa came over today
I had met the Pa, but not the Ma or the kittens.
They are really big kittens, but they play well
And are gentle.

Ma and Pa showed them my art work.
Every day, I bite cardboard off a me-sized
Cardboard box. I spit the pieces on the floor.
Ma admires the sculpture and cleans up later.

She hides treats in the folds of my soft red blanket.
After I eat them all, I knead the blanket
Ma sits on a stool to pet me
If I move away she pulls me close

Me and Ma play a mouse catching game.
We’ have a great mouse. It dances and flies.
So I dance and fly, too
Life is good. Happy New Year.

Your cat friend,
Thea

DiVoran has been writing for most of her life. Her first attempt at a story was when she was seven years old and her mother got a new typewriter. DiVoran got to use it and when her dad saw her writing he asked what she was writing about. DiVoran answered that she was writing the story of her life. Her dad’s only comment was, “Well, it’s going to be a very short story.” After most of a lifetime of writing and helping other writers, DiVoran finally launched her own dream which was to write a novel of her own. She now has her Florida Springs trilogy and her novel, a Christian Western Romance, Go West available on Amazon. When speaking about her road to publication, she gives thanks to the Lord for all the people who helped her grow and learn.  She says, “I could never have done it by myself, but when I got going everything fell beautifully into place, and I was glad I had started on my dream.”
