So here you have it. Felix’s darkest and most bizarre case, published – very appropriately – on Halloween.
And, since the it was commissioned by the UnDead Prom, I include here also the opening words of the faculty’s History professor (me again) to the students…
Guests of the UnDead Prom share that quintessential human interest with what lies behind the veil of life.

The recent book release of Who’s That in the Cat Pajamas (The Dolcey Series Book 1) by Soujourner McConnell is the delightful story of a young girl’s struggle with the real world problem of leaving everything behind. She must move to a new town with her parents, and she is none too happy about it. A pajama-clad kitty with a secret surprise helps pave the way for our young heroine. Together, they explore what life might be like in new surroundings.
Children of all ages will be immersed into thought-provoking prose that carries the imagination to soaring, new heights. The love with which Soujourner McConnell wrote this book is evident from page one. Dolcey is magical and possesses special senses deftly tuned toward children in need of a little extra guidance.

But what awaits them is both revealing and tender and will leave you wanting more adventures from Dolcey.
Who’s That in the Cat Pajamas is a 5-star read and should reside among other classics on your children’s bookshelf. To get your copy today, visit Amazon for a free Kindle Unlimited version or just $1.99 for your very own e-copy.
