Thomas Owen lives with an elderly strange cat, Buster who is happy and healthy - i.e. he sleeps 18 hours a day, but the vets warn of expensive things that could go wrong at any time so medically he's living a knife's edge. Buster played a part in the writing of LITTLE BIT, but he is not a shape changing alien cast adrift on Earth - that's Little Bit's problem. Buster cheeps, croaks, and burps, but he does not sing like Little Bit. Buster knows how to eat. Boy, does he know how to eat. Little Bit takes awhile to get the hang of cat food and milk bowls. Finally, there are not black helicopters and soldiers searching for Buster to do unpleasant things to him - that's Little Bit's problem. The sales of LITTLE BIT will help pay for the care and feeding of Buster and keep him off the street (where he would only last ten minutes). Thomas Owen is the author of SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE ADVENTURE OF THE MODERN CINDERELLA and co-author of EVERY NIGHT OUR DEVILS COME.
