This week, Fabulous Furry Friday salutes Literary Pandas and Literature of the Panda! Huzzah!
And now, the pandas are out of the bag!
This week, after the conclusion of a six month mentorship program through the Nevada chapter of the Society for Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, I have been taken on as a client by my brilliant and kind mentor, Gordon Warnock. I’m already on the Fuse Literary website listed as a client!!!! I hope they have hidden all the cuppycakes, because, well, you know…pandas!
I can’t say enough good things about the Nevada mentorship program. If you are a member of SCBWI, I recommend you look in to it, (the next cycle does not start until 2017, so you have some time to get a project in working order). I met many wonderful writers, who I hope will be friends for life. And to all of you here who have been following me since the early days of panda satire, I can only say thank you a thousand times. Maybe ten thousand times. You keep me going with your laughter and comments. Stay tuned. Pandas are going places and I hope you’ll come with us.
But first, how about some Literary Pandas?
It all started here…..
Do you like my new book?
Pandas have long been active in literary pursuits
What do you mean by “was?”
May all your Fridays be Furry and Fabulous!
Be the Bear,
Bob T Panda
Bob T is set now for life. He will be a rich and famous Panda. He has an ADDICTION! That is modern parlance for belonging to the exclusive club of the n’er do well up and comers – the bad boys of the Panda Empire. They get all the glamour (Yup a membership in the Betty Panda Ford Club puts one right out there in the public eye) being in the perfect position to leverage their addiction into Panda movie deals, Pandomentaries, the talk show circuit, lucrative advertising contracts with Panda-Cola, and the Panda power circles of America. This Bob’s big chance – all he has to do is to be seen in public eating cuppy cakes all the time – proving his addiction – and he is well on his way. If he could get arrested and jailed for eating cuppy cakes while driving, that would be the icing on the cuppy cake.
Good Luck!
Oh boy. I hadn’t even thought about the responsibilities, not to mention pressures, that might drive Bob deeper into his cuppycake addition.
In the meantime, maybe I should just follow the scent of frosting!
and, of course congratulations on being selected for such a prestigious opportunity! The beginning of the next stage. We are all rooting for you!

I am proud of you! Huzzah!
Thank you. I’ll try to be a credit to the family. Um..maybe that’s too low a set to the bar. Ha ha!
Congratulations!! Just checked out your answers on the goodreads site. Loved them 🙂 It’s been such a pleasure to watch your pandas grow and evolve over the years. I love your work and think you are super talented. So happy that you have an agent! Huzzah!!
Thank you! It’s very exciting!
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing this wonderful news with us Panda-Kitty-holics.
Big hugs & *paw bumps* from me & Cee, to you & Mehitabel!
Thank you! I am very excited and am pretty sure I am ready for this move. We shall see what happens! Meanwhile, I keep panda-ing on! ???
