CAT SUMMER, NEW SCI-FANTASY by Mollie Hunt, Cat Writer


One summer day, I found my big tuxedo cat, Dirty Harry, snoozing under the green fan leaves of a hosta plant. His paws twitched as if dreaming. My writer’s imagination could only guess as to the subject of his kitty dreams. 

That was the wisp of fantasy from which Cat Summer, and subsequently the Cat Seasons Tetralogy, was born. Though mystery is my usual genre, these sci-fantasy tales are my heart’s favorites. Through them, I— or I should say, my cats— save the world! 

There has been nothing quite as satisfying as taking away all the problems of today, but in order for resolution, new crises must be posed. The heroes must make their journeys, the reluctant participant must be convinced only she can do the job, and the evil must be so vast that only great effort, dedication, and sacrifice can hope to defeat it.



CAT SUMMER (CAT SEASONS TETRALOGY) by Mollie Hunt
Coming August 28, 2019

Lise has a special destiny: to help a clowder of sentient cats save the world from an evil older than history itself. It is a terrible battle, but Lise and her feline comrades prevail, putting an end to war, poverty, ignorance and want. The world is a better place.

Or is it?

A century later, it becomes clear that something has been lost. The new civilization produces no artists, no musicians, no scientists, no philosophers. Inertia has taken hold. Lise, now at the end of her life, must join her cat-friends once more to restore the Spark of the Human Spirit, but the goal cannot be reached without sacrifice. Is there enough time left for them to save the world for future generations?



I began my relationship with Fire Star Press in 2015 with a cat story produced in the anthology, Nine Deadly Lives: An Anthology of Feline Fiction. Since then I’ve written a monthly blog post and have very much enjoyed reading blogs from other Fire Star and Prairie Rose authors. I’m so excited to finally be a full-fledged Fire Star author. Check out my author page! I hope to see more books on there in the future! Next up: Cat Winter.

Cat Summer is now available for pre-order! Delivered to your Kindle or Kindle App on August 28, 2019. Cat Summer is released through Fire Star Press at only $3.99 — Order here.
