Writer Ferrets: Chasing the muse

The Ferret Chronicles #3

by Richard Bach

Budgeron is struggling mightily to write the great ferret novel, a story so rich, so finely wrought, it will set the world of ferret literature on its tail. By day, he writes adventure stories for kits' magazines. By night, he lights the Lamp of Wisdom and calls forth Count Urbain de Rothskit, hero of the massive volume Where Ferrets Walk. After a near-perfect first sentence, Budgeron sighs in his tiny attic writing room and waits for the second to to come.

Downstairs, a page-turner romance tumbles effortlessly from the keyboard of Budgeron's mate, Danielle. A pawdicurist who decides to write for fun, Danielle never expected her first page would explode with Veronique Sibhoan Ferret, a willful, naughty, mesmerizing animal who will one day bewitch millions of reader.

Budgeron and Danielle are aspiring writer ferrets following their calling through the quiet rooms where stories are born, past the mailbox and rejection slips and finally into the white-hot world of big-time book publishing. In the end, each finds success writing for the one heart they must truly please: their own.

Writer Ferrets Chasing the Muse is a tale about the search for what really matters in life; the struggle to free our inner voice; pursuit of a dream against significant odds and the need to love and be loved by like-minded spirit.
