Years ago one of my nieces urged me to make a book out of a story I told her and her sister when I babysat them. It is about a cat that gets chased out if his home neighborhood into a forest he had never entered before. The story tells how he was lost and confused, and his adventures with the other animals of the forest and how they helped him get home.

UPDATE July 2026
For the last month or so I have been researching how best to produce this story. While it was originally self-published as a book (2010), the book ended up being too tedious to read because all the dialogue was written in phonetics. Using Chat GPT I have developed an entirely NEW approach to publishing the work. Here's the plan:
Each Episode will be published as a Youtube Video (there are about 36 episodes)
All the illustrations will be redone to allow for new ones to be created consistently and
also to make new composite panels and animations possible. The AI Platform I intend
to use will be MidJourney.
Composite panels will be done in Photoshop and animation effects will be created using
Runway.
I will be narrating the story with the original accents in Cubase, and will compose all the
music in Cubase. Everything will be loaded into CapCut to edit and produce, with
minor additional animations added in CapCut.
The Aller River, here where I live, will be featured in every episode as the background to
the scenes.
Work has already started and the first Youtube Video (The Introduction) will be produced after the characters, composites and at least some of the animated panels are complete, so the episodes can then be published in regularly scheduled relases.
