"We sold more than twice as many books during the Oktoberfest event than we did for the entire month of September," reports author Templeman. "By adding more book signings, we're hoping to build momentum so we can write some big end of the month checks to Nashville Cat Rescue right on through December and beyond."

My Best Little Buddy is a heartwarming story of 17 years about love and friendship with a Tiger, a little grey tabby cat. Here are excerpts from five-star reviews by two top Amazon reviewers:

"The story that Tom tells is remarkable and heartwarming. It follows his relationship with Tiger, a grey tabby who was anything but average. It starts from the day that he brings the inquisitive cat home, and follows so many aspects of their lives together… and of course, the powerful emotional bond that they share. The entire story is truly delightful… I hope that the book helps others to see the beauty that an animal can bring to a person's life."  Arthur Bradley, Top 50 Amazon reviewer

"I felt like I was reading a good friend's diary written about his fur-babies. I laughed at the antics of Sundae and Tiger – for example how Tiger (aka Butterhead) taught the neighbor's dog Stormy to never set foot near his domain ever again. Also Tiger licking the biscuits – my Bruiser did the same thing. And I sobbed for Tiger at the end." Yarii, Top 100 Amazon reviewer
