Conversations with the Captain in Washington D.C.

Book excerpt: Abstract, humorous, outrageous—filled with senators and congressmen, a talking feline, women, women, everywhere, and an ex-bull rider-priest. The novel Conversations with the Captain in Washington D.C. wraps all these worlds into one exciting story, Captain Midnight is a talking cat who makes his debut on CNN News recounting Nevada's flood of 1997. Nevada Jones, an ex-bull rider and senator, is Captain's partner in travel and experiences. The Captain and Nevada are together through it all—from a big flood in a small town to the United States Capital. The hope of one day being a weather reporter takes the Captain and Nevada on a trip to Washington D.C., to seek a grant from the United States Government Feline Grant Program for Radio, Television and Film Advanced Educational Studies. While on the flight to Washington D.C., the Captain and Nevada are invited to spend the weekend at an estate in Popeslanding. They not only accept the offer, they decide to make a party of the whole weekend. Let the good times roll!
