Author Spotlight on Max Thompson

Max Thompson suffers from a severe disadvantage when it comes to writing - he can't hold a pen, never went to school and lacks the dexterity to type. His shortcomings haven't kept him from writing his own blog or authoring two books from that blog. Of course, that may be because Max is a cat, one more commonly known as PsychoKitty, and he keeps a slave around that assists him with these and other needs. He's even written a guide for the people owned by cats, cleverly titled The Rules: A Guide For People Owned By Cats ($1.19), so that other humans will be able to assist their cat owners in the best way possible. After all, it's not the cat's fault if you don't follow the rules and your shoes must pay the price!

Book Description
People, you need help. Truly you do. You bring home these cute little balls of fur and squeal at its cuteness, declare your life complete because of it,and then get upset when your New Meaning of Life that you treasure poops in the bathtub or hocks a hairball into your shoe. You need to know the rules. You meed to know the truth. Max Thompson, known far and wide as "The Psychokitty" is an expert on all things kitty and has finally decided to share the wisdom of his years of dealing with People, and his in-depth discussions with kitties online. This is his gift to you, the People who are willingly owned by cats. A gift that costs less than $15. Because that's how generous he is. Complete with paw-drawn illustrations!

The Psychokitty Speaks Out: Diary of a Mad Housecat ($1.59)

Book Description
He's 14 pounds of sleek black and white glory. With an attitude ... and opinions ... on everything.

"The PsychoKitty Speaks Out" is the diary of Max, a put-upon and under-appreciated domestic feline with both a disdain and a fondness for Sticky Little People, an addiction to Kitty Crack, and an appetite for Stinky Goodness. He began his popular blog "The Psychokitty Speaks Out" in October of 2003, and this is an expansion of that journal; all those dates when he didn't blog--they're here, in all his snarky glory.


The Psychokitty Speaks Out: Something of Yours Will Meet a Toothy Death ($1.59)

Book Description
Look. I'm funny. You like me. And if you buy my book, I earn cash towards fresh cat nip and crunchy treats. It's as simple as that... But if you need more: This is the diary of Max Thompson, blogger extraordinaire. Thousands of people (maybe hundreds) flock to his blog every day to be amused an enlightened by his feline wisdom. Plus, it's the follow up to "The Psychokitty Speaks Out: Diary of a Mad Housecat" so you know it's good. Some people even though it was FUNNIER. But you don't have to read that one first. Oh, and I have a potty mouth. So you're warned.

Tune in tomorrow - Max has allowed his human to publish her own stories, as well (although it seems he insists she price them at or below the cost of his least expensive book, at least as far as Kindle editions go). Under his tutelage, she has written a three-book series and one stand-alone novel that are in the Kindle store.
