Book event: Kitty Killers in Mount Pleasant

With Charlestonians dribbling back from their Summer vacations, local book stores are starting to invite me to do more events.

Next up is a signing at Barnes & Noble Mt. Pleasant, East of the Chucktown peninsula.

The visit will take place on Saturday August 26th at 3 p.m. - the big question at the moment is, will Tips the cat be there? The placid animal gets far more attention than me when she accompanies me on these jaunts.

The B&N media relations honchos are concerned that customers will complain about an animal being in the store. What's she going to do, malt them to death?

Those same honchos also tell me that readers often bring their own pets in (I hope they're store trained).

I'm sure Tips would prefer to remain lying in her sun patch rather than being dragged out to Mt. P. At this point in time, the outcome is far from certain...
