My name is Christine Fraina (pen name - Blake Fraina).  I live with a husband and six cats (plus one part time resident feline) in Fairfield County Connecticut.  Below are most of my fur babies.

This is Ike (aka Eisenhower)


This smiley face is Scrappy Doo.



My heart (and our oldest at 17 years), Sweetpea



Moonbeam (who hates me)



The teeny-tiny Miss New Jersey


And, last but certainly not least, our chunky-money, Lily (who has been kind enough to lend her image as my profile photo for the time being)



I haven't included Cleo, our only indoor/outdoor cat, who we inherited when the neighbors abandoned her.  She's camera shy but a photo will come.

I am the self-published author of a wildly unsuccessful novel about a gay rock musician (King of Cats), a part-time runner, full time reader (and Amazon Vine Voice reviewer), vegetarian cook (and vegan wannabe) and artsy-fartsy film buff.

This is Only a Test

This blogging thing has become much more difficult since the last time I created a blogspot account.
