MANHATTAN RAT is a novel for young adults. BellaDonna, the secret pet rat of Goth young teen Emma who lives in a penthouse apartment on the upper west side, is discovered by Emma's stepmother and literally booted out. BellaDonna wants to find her way home, but learns along the way that home may not be where she thought it was.

The window closes on pre-orders soon. It would be great if anyone out there could pass on this pitch to other possible supporters. The good news is that the book will 'wash its face'. Enough pre-orders to get it into print. Given that I have a plan of a book a year for the next five years, the does not bode well for buying a yacht. But I appreciate the support very much and I have stories to tell that I simply want out there. Thank you! And see you this time next year looking for another $20! I will keep you posted on the printing progress. I think it may be Early 2027 before you actually have a copy of MANHATTAN RAT in your hands. X Martin
