C. L. Francisco has always chosen fiction for her downtime reading: “Fiction sneaks up on me, gets under my guard, and touches my heart in a way that non-fiction can’t,” she says. “It opens up new possibilities and sets me dreaming. For me, life-changing books have always been fiction. That’s probably why I chose to write a book like Yeshua’s Cat.”

Retired college professor C. L. Francisco’s faith reemerged several years ago after a time of radical doubt. Her conservative Christian upbringing, undergraduate years at Mount Holyoke College, year’s stay at L’Abri, early career years in art therapy, and PhD in world religions had all contributed to her confusion.

It picks up the story of the young woman Yeshua found nearly dead after she been stoned in the Galilee hills near Sepphoris in Yeshua's Cat. In the new book (as yet unnamed) he discovers that the woman's assailants have discovered her whereabouts and are threatening her life all over again, so he travels to Cana to find another safe place for her.

Actually, though, I was feeling as if the feline muse had deserted me after The Cats of Rekem, and I was wondering if three cat books wasn't the perfect number. The challenges of writing from a cat's eye view were beginning to pale. But then, somewhere between the release of Rekem and Christmas, I started getting familiar twinges, and a critical central character floated up from my inner depths. By February I was in full research mode.
So I guess my answer is, inspiration comes from my non-verbal depths, where dreams and memories mix and flow. I suspect it's also the easiest place for human beings to listen for the voice of Spirit.(less)

Another wind: Grief and the passing of Mari

Mari: In Memorium

 

Grief is always a painfully slow experience for me to work my way through—grief for my non-human family members as much as for the human ones. Now, 2 months after her death, I’ve finished the third of three digital mosaics of my cat, Mari. Each image has been increasingly complex, each exploring deeper, less articulate levels of my grief. With the completion of the last pictu
