I, Applehead

by Saliee O'Brien
(Lancaster, Ohio)

This is a delightful autobiography of a royal Siamese cat, who ruled her Palace and her subjects in Florida. She even falls in love with her doctor, but reconciles herself that he remains true to his human-wife.

Her Regent and his wife return one day with a human-bundle (a baby) which she is incensed to learn weighs seven pounds, a weight only she is entitled to.

Saliee O'Brien was a best-selling author of Southern romance novels and historical fiction, and is perhaps best known for her Louisiana Trilogy of "Bayou," "Cajun," and "Creole." This feline autobiography is one of numerous previously unpublished book and story manuscripts that are now being made public posthumously by the author's literary heir.
