Jim Born and My Christmas Gift

I'm sure you're curious as to how author Jim Born relates to my Christmas.  Jim was the keynote speaker at the Desert Sleuths Write Now! 2010 Conference in August.  He's the author of numerous books, including, under the name James O'Neal, The Human Disguise and Double Human.  And, he's also  a Special Agent with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. 

Jim and I sat together during the conference.  When he learned I had five cats he told me five is OK, but if I had seven, the cops would start taking note.  I put that on my blog when I reported on his appearance at the conference.

My family remembered.  Oh, did they remember!  I had a cat-filled Christmas, with knickknacks, a sweatshirt, a pin, a plaque, and a shirt.  So, here's my Christmas shirt.  But, I still only have five cats!


So, thanks, Jim.  My family had a great time with that comment.
