Diplomatic Immunity

9/24/2013

4 Comments

 
Women hold secrets. Even if you think they don’t, they do. Planted deep within the wells of a woman’s soul hush-hush lingers. 

While God knows the inner and outer workings of my heart, the only living creature on earth who knows all my secrets is the cat. Therefore, my cat is granted diplomatic immunity and cannot be prosecuted for any action. It’s hardly fair and seems rather unreasonable. I don’t know why it is the way it is, except that I feel safe with him, the cat. I realize that if he went under the duress of interrogation (and he has), my surreptitious vault is safe and will ever be. You see, we have an understanding, the cat and I. So, from all women out there who share this clandestine indulgence, let me hear a “¡Viva el gato!”

No?

Oh. Well then, perchance I might have had an audience with Rainer Maria Rilke who expressed, “I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone.” Instead of moving ahead of my time I might be lagging behind in a wish to commiserate with literary predecessors. Ha!

I’m aware I give the cat too much importance yet can’t seem to help myself. It’s both a weakness and a need (stupid cat). Therefore, his diplomatic immunity is a requirement. No questions asked.

Hi Thom,

My latest political intrigue is The Unspeakable and my latest romance is Tree Lord’s Oracle. These books are available through various stores such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc., as well as my publishers’ sites. I don’t personally have them on hand/sell them, so I must steer you to these book outlets. For your convenience, I have provided purchase links here on my website. The Home page tab will take you where you wish to go.

Thank you for your interest!
