It's my pleasure to, again, have Kathryne Kennedy (and Pikachu) visiting Over Coffee. It's been a while since I've had the privilege of having her here. As you may know she writes some fabulous stories involving all manner of magical creatures and I particularly enjoy her Relics of Merlin series.
Hello Sia
and friends! It’s wonderful to be back here talking with you all again!
Although I have already posted about my new puppy on my personal blog, I had to
share some new photos and news about her! I named my new girl Pikachu, and if
any of you have kids who play Pokemon, you’ll know where I took the name from.
I found her on the following website, and it was such a thrill to
see the words ADOPTED, and know that I was the one they referred to: http://www.adoptapet.com/pet/9725112-buckeye-arizona-chihuahua-mix
This is a wonderful place to find a new dog if you are looking for
one, so you might want to go to the site when you can browse for a while.
This poor puppy was part of the ‘miracle litter’, because she was
scheduled for euthanizing along with her brothers. Theirs is kind of a sad
story, but if you have the stomach for it, you can read about them all here: http://www.homeanimalrescue.com/litter1.html#top
Otherwise, just know that she was rescued by some amazing people, and found a wonderful new home with me. I adore her, as you can probably tell from my photos. The first picture cracks me up, cause I swear she looks like she’s laughing at me. And see the little brush in the background? Yeah, I try, but she thinks it’s another game, and winds up attacking the brush and then stealing it from me.
In the third picture,
you can see the mix of Chihuahua and…I’m guessing maybe a dachshund? I’m not
sure, but whoever her parents are, they made an adorable puppy.
In the fourth,
she’s doing one of her favorite things: snuggling into the covers. She loves to
dive in them and growl and pretend she’s a commando. 
In the fifth, she has
dropped her toy over the edge of the bed, and in the last picture, you can see
why I can’t find her half of the time. I have brown floors and carpet, and she
blends in like a little ghost. I’ll say, “Where’s Pikachu?” And look down and
there she is, staring up at me with a grin. Sheesh, I love this little dog.
I've written several books that include animals, including fantasy
creatures like shapeshifters in the Relics of Merlin series. I think my love of
animals has inspired many of the critters I write about.
I’d love to hear about your pets, and how they came to be a part of your lives.

My Magical Best,

EVERLASTING ENCHANTMENT STORES DECEMBER 2013
Power Magic is Afoot …
Millicent Pantere has lived her entire life in the notorious
London Underground. She cares nothing for the problems of the crown or the
intrigues of society. But the ladies of the realm are acting strangely, and
Millicent is coerced into tracking down the rumors of a mysterious man—a magic
man who comes in the night and disappears at dawn.
And So the Hunt Begins…
Millicent's search leads her to one of Merlin's legendary relics
and the seductive knight whose fate is bound up with it. Centuries ago, Sir
Gareth Solimere made the mistake of seducing the wrong woman, and he has been
trapped ever since by a diabolical curse. He's looking for the one who can
break the enchantment—but in this world, there is no love without betrayal...
