Editing and Drawing

Editing my Science Fiction Books and Starting Drawings for the Second book "A Trip to the Farm," in The Adventures of Curtis, Connie, and Cosmic Cat books. Working on a trilogy of science fiction books. The first book is complete, "The Moon is Mine," the second is written and being edited, "The Moon is Ours." These are full length novels and, hopefully, will be published this year. The second book, A Trip to the Farm, in the collection of books detailing The Adventures of Curtis, Connie, and Cosmic Cat will be published in the next few months. The text needs some editing and the drawings need to be done. Oh, well, it will all get done. I'm also in the process of modifying my home page, ronaldcthompson.com. It needs some work. Hopefully it will be updated in the next few days. I've also got some work to do on my publishers home page, r-an-kenterprises.com.

Astronaut Training

I've recently published my first book, it's now available on Amazon.com and through Barnes & Noble. It's a short book of 144 pages with 15 illustrations. The story is geared towards adolescents but will be of interest to all readers. The book "Astronaut Training," is the first in a collection of books all dealing with "The Adventures of Curtis, Connie, and Cosmic Cat." Curtis and Connie adopt a stray cat and name him Cosmic Cat. They also get an old copy of an Astronaut Training manual and decide to train the cat to be an astronaut. The story takes place over a summer and details the trials and tribulations that the cat is put through. They do such things as throwing the cat off a barn with a homemade parachute attached to him and sending him down a long wire in a homemade airplane. If you get the pleasure of reading the book please let me know what you think. I'm working on the second book and am planning a third.
