Fuzzy Logic — Book 1: Lost in Translation

...a story rooted in timeless truth, while maintaining a conveniently flexible relationship with objective fact.

About the Book

A Russian dwarf hamster so old he’s forgotten to die.
A Holland-lop rabbit whose crusty exterior hides a warm heart.
A Labradoodle dog whose body moves long before his brain gets the message.
The antisocial house cat next door.
And a wisecracking wild squirrel with more schemes than a bestselling mystery author.

They don’t speak the same language.
They don’t share the same logic.
They barely understand each other at all.
It’s a microcosm of fur and communication failures — and when somebody shakes the jar, Fuzzy Logic reigns supreme.

Chapter One Excerpt: Earnest Meets Cinnabun

This was all getting too confusing for Earnest. His brain couldn't wrap itself around the strange revelations of this large, furry creature.

“So,” he finally said, “you not rodent, you not come from pet store. You alien?”

“Me lag-a... lag... morpa –” she began sputtering like a car engine that won't start, “lagmora... no, um, lagalaga... gammalorp... no... lammagorm... no, that not it...”

Earnest was looking really alarmed now, ready to run into his hidey-hole and take deep breaths. “You ok? Medical emergency?” he asked.

“Ugh, no, me fine,” squeaked the creature. “Just so hard to say the word. Lag-o-morph. That's it. Lagomorph.” She said it slowly but with decision this time. She was sure she had it right.

“Lago-what?!” chittered Earnest. “Never heard of that.”

“In common language, it is 'rabbit,'” replied the creature. “Or 'hare,'” she added with a slight sneer and a twitch of her whiskers.

“Rabbit? Rabbit. Okay. But rabbit not a kind of rodent?” Earnest was starting to calm down now. “Lagomorph” was a pretty terrifying word. It sounded like a mysterious type of spell for transforming household cleaning tools into sentient creatures. He wasn't sure he could handle having something called a “lagomorph” running around his house, but “rabbit” sounded normal enough, and Earnest felt a bit more settled when this rabbit-creature stopped twitching and stuttering and trying to say “lagomorph.”
