THE
THREE KITTIES THAT SAVED MY LIFE –
an uplifting true story of love
Blurb
Losing
loved ones is an awful fact of life; losing one's loving spouse,
one's day-to-day partner through life, especially in the prime of
life, is one of the most unbearable tolls that we humans are forced
to endure. This is the true story of my journey from grieving
widower, not caring if I lived or died, to the once-again happily
married man I am today, a man who both loves and cherishes life. My
three kitties have given me a new zest for living. Both
inspiring and entertaining, my story is filled with laughter as well
as tears, and you will certainly find yourself moved by my journey.

Excerpt
It is amazing how
time helps. In time, I have learned to overcome my own albatross. I
have learned to live again, to love again. Life is a gift
reads a plaque on our dining room wall, and that sums up what I have
gained from the three kitties that saved my life. From Coco, I
learned to care again. From Kitty, I learned to love again. From Pom
Pom, I have learned how to cope with my own demons, the effects of
aging being one of these. Pom Pom has taught me to accept what is and
then to move onward. Yes, I have learned plenty from my three
kitties.
My journey has been
a long one, a difficult one at times, but it has a happy ending. The
three kitties in my life have made it so. They have all helped me to
become the happy-to-be-alive man that I am today. I now accept
rather than cope. I live each day to the fullest, knowing full
well that life is a gift, and a very precious one at that. I
look back on my life and I often think that I must be the luckiest
man in the world. I have so much to be thankful for. The wonderment
and beauty of life are both so dear to me.
And, to add a
delicious icing to the lovely taste of my life, I can say with total
honesty to the whole world, my voice booming into the sky, my dancing
feet not caring in the least who might see me, that I have been very
fortunate to have done something that brings more sheer delight and
wonderful pride to me than anything else that I have accomplished in
my life: I have fallen madly, heads-over-heels in love not once, but
twice, and how many others can say that?
My Review
The Three Kitties That Saved My Life by Michael Meyer was so awe inspiring it brought me to tears. This story not only made me tear up but made me giggle out loud at some of the antics. The book was so amazing and the way he went through love, loss, and such hope and strength. I am truly in awe of how strong this man was and still is. I am thankful for the three kitties, Coco Kitty and PomPom because without them I would never have had the chance to read and talk with this wonderful man. This story is one for everyone to read. And when you do you can come back and thank me because you will LOVE IT!!
Author bio:
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR of mysteries, thrillers, humorous fiction, and non-fiction: Love and romance, laughter and tears, thrills and fears.
I
have resided in and have visited many places in the world, all of
which have contributed in some way to my own published writing. I
have literally traveled throughout the world, on numerous occasions.
I have lived in Finland, Germany, Thailand, Saudi Arabia (where
COVERT DREAMS is set), and the U.S. Virgin Islands (where DEADLY EYES
is set). I gained the wanderlust to see the world, to experience
other cultures, at an early age, and this desire has never left me.
If anything, it has only gained in intensity as I have aged. I try to
travel internationally at least once a year. In the interim, I spend
lots of time traveling around both my home state of California and
other nearby states.
I
spent my early years in the small town of Lone Pine, California, the
home of almost every western movie, in addition to a wide variety of
other genres, made in the 30's, 40's, 50's, and 60's. In fact,
Hollywood still films parts of big-time movies there today. My dad,
the town's lifeguard at the time, personally knew John Wayne, Lloyd
Bridges, and Lee Marvin, all of whom came to the town's pool, the
Memorial Plunge, at times to cool off after a hectic day of working
in the sun. I was even an extra in a movie filmed there in 1957,
MONOLITH MONSTERS, a B-cult favorite even today. I was ten years old at the time. Even though I resided in a small town hours from the big city, I was exposed to the excitement of action and heroes at a formative age, and, thus, my interest in writing novels of suspense such as COVERT DREAMS and
DEADLY EYES was born. I am particularly proud of the fact that these two international suspense thrillers are rated #1 and #2 on the Goodreads Recommended Thriller/Suspense list.

As
a recent retiree from a forty-year career as a professor of writing,
I now live in Southern California wine country with my wife, Kitty,
and our two adorable rescue cats.
SPECIAL
NOTE: COVERT DREAMS has recently received a Compulsion Reads
endorsement. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Compulsion
Reads, this company specializes in reviewing and endorsing those
novels that meet its quality standards based on the fundamental
qualities of good storytelling. Many books that the company reviews
don't earn their endorsement, so this is a pretty big deal.
