This is the newest illustration by Ahdeya (AKA Twospotz) for The NEW Jellicle Chronicles. The picture shows Munkustrap on the prow of the USS Maine Monument on the northeast corner of Columbus Circle in Manhattan (and Central Park). In TNJC, Munkustrap makes a habit out of sitting here to "people watch" as well as meet with Jellicles.

THE NEW JELLICLE CHRONICLES
BOOK TEN -- CHAPTER ELEVEN -- TO FOOL THE FOOLS
Rated PG13
Faust finds himself in the center of a lot of attention. First, his parents are concerned with his social contacts. Then he becomes part of the Tribal outing in the Sheep Meadow. During the celebration of the Tweens later on, Francine shows him that she thinks a lot differently than some of the other older kittens, and that lands him in more trouble.

US TOUR
The last CATS Tour stop - October 18-22, 2012 at the DeVos Performance Hall in Grand Rapids, MI was CANCELED. There is mention of September 7 & 8, 2012 at the Las Vegas Hilton in Las Vegas NV, but no further information at this time. This may be a regional show.

BTC ARTWORK - August 21, 2012

Adding a small but significant note here: Ahdeya (AKA Twospotz) sent me an illustration of Lord Vavonno escorting Bombalurina at the Harvest Festival. When I have the time, I may start taking the chapters of the stories, and placing the artwork in the Chapters where they belong. I found out that the insertion is not all that troublesome - just takes time...

For simplicity sake, HERE IS THE LINK FOR CHAPTER 14.

I really think Ahdeya did an awesome job on the illustration - especially Bomba...
