Good Guys Dont Wear Bells transports the reader to a realm of human insight punctuated by the unexpected arrival of a new and very different family member. This member, Russell, a cat, proves to be an influence for change and understanding. Spread across three distinctly different venues, Russells life experiences begin with his mistakenly being locked in a closed rental house on Nantucket Island only to be rescued by the new occupants who are destined to be his future family. From there his adventures are transferred to the long-since vacated backyards of downtown Detroit and the urban-renewed courtyards of the townhouses replacing them. Here he overcame numerous adversities and misadventures. His later life was spent in the Middle Eastern country of Qatar where he reigned supreme in his last conquest, a small backyard garden. Here he was united with a recent addition to the family, a Siamese queen named Starlight who had been added while he was wintering in Nantucket. This union was to blossom into a lasting love affair. In the years spent with his new family, he assumed the responsibility of their conversion from dog people as he molded them into cat lovers. This task he accomplished readily and with little fanfare as his human family worked and played. Accompanying this conversion his familys feline associations dramatically increased, the result of the rescue of a multitude of cats rendered homeless by the first Arabian Gulf War. Even with this and the ever-present Starlight, Russell remained the star. A moving story of love and pathos, Good Guys Dont Wear Bells will captivate its readers and bring them to a true understanding of feline-human bonding.
