BLURB:
'Give
a helping hand to someone in trouble today and you will be richly rewarded!'
Diamonte
De Dazzle (owner of the world's most famous department store) read her daily
horoscope and was puzzled. Who was in trouble?
Who,
what, why, when, and where? How on earth could she help?
She
then encountered Boo, a homeless blue cat, trying to escape from TCC, the
horribly horrible Cat Catcher. Boo was the only truly blue cat on the planet,
so TCC intended on cat-napping and exhibiting her to become rich and famous.
(Evil
laugh from TCC . . .)
The
combination of an eccentric department store owner, as well as TCC, two snobby
socialites, plus a fashion event which is unexpectedly and thoroughly thrown
into chaos, is life- changing.

EXCERPT
Both Daisy and Diamonte carried big baskets and shopping bags full of clothing and materials that swirled around and seemed to have a magical life of their own. Diamonte always seemed to be doing squillions of things at once, and she was a one-woman hurricane. As she walked she not only chatted with Daisy, but she also read her Daily Horoscope.
She loved to read “Your Stars” from the Daily Newspaper. She
liked to quote her “Stars” every day to Daisy, then discuss their meanings over
a cup of tea or coffee. It was fortunate that Daisy was extremely patient, as
well as tolerant, as she had no interest whatsoever in the “Stars.” Anyway,
today, Diamonte’s “Stars” read: “Give a helping hand to someone in trouble
today, and you will be richly rewarded!” Diamonte stopped walking. The people
behind bumped heavily into her and
Daisy, resulting in great confusion, including the spillage
of many of their recent purchases, which now lay on the pavement.
Diamonte looked at Daisy. “Ooooh! What do you think this
means?”
Daisy, gathering up everything that had fallen from
Diamonte’s baskets, rolled her eyes. Daisy spent quite a lot of time picking up
Diamonte’s spilled bits and pieces, during the course of a normal day.
Diamonte suddenly became aware of noisy noises close to her.
She glanced around and saw Boo and TCC, who were, by now, wrestling on the
ground. Boo was putting up a far stronger resistance to TCC than he expected!
It was at this moment that TCC’s hair fell off and was blown away by the wind.
A bird found it and used it for a comfy new nest.
