A charming and funny memoir about experiences Gina Gershon has had with cats throughout her life that are analogous to her relationships with men and her ongoing search for true love. Film and television icon Gina Gershon may be best known for her movie roles in Bound and Showgirls and television appearances on Curb Your Enthusiasm and How to Make It in America, but deep down she is a self-described cat lady. In Search of Cleo follows Gina’s desperation and despair when her assistant loses her beloved cat, Cleo. Gina spends two months roaming the back streets of Los Angeles at all hours of the night, searching for Cleo and meeting several quirky and outrageous characters who help or hinder her in different ways, including Ellen DeGeneres, who searches with Gina and recommends her pet psychic, Sonia; Arthur, the newspaper delivery man who gives her advice; and the mysterious fortune-teller, who appears from the shadows to give her a statue of Saint Gertrude, the protector of cats everywhere. Gina soon finds herself enmeshed in L.A.’s strangest subcultures, doing everything she can to bring Cleo home, including chanting with a bunch of crystal-wielding hippies and being slapped with a chicken by a Santeria priest. Along the way, she reflects on the various cats that have been a part of her life and shares her travails as a single girl in search of both her cat and some sanity. In Search of Cleo will delight pet lovers and singletons alike as it introduces Cleo to the celebrated pantheon of literary cats that includes Dewey, Homer, and Oscar.

FROM THE AUTHOR After I returned to prison, I took a long look at myself, and for the first time in my life, admitted that I was wrong, that I had gone astray; astray not so much from the law as from being human, civilized. Even though I had some insight into my own motivations, I did not feel justified. I lost my self-respect. My whole fragile moral structure seemed to collapse, completely shattered. That is when I started to write, to save myself. Eldridge Cleaver All right, ladies and gents, get ready to hold onto your seats as I lead you back through the labyrinth of mystery, sex, violence and philosophy, in this my second venture into the world of fiction writing, “Stories from the Pen of a Prisoner, Volume Two.” It will be an exciting and entertaining ride. First stop will be a reunion with Renee, a leading character in my first venture into the art of story writing. If you have not read that lead story, Renee, you owe it to yourself to go out and purchase your copy of “Stories from the Pen of a Prisoner, Volume One.” (Marcus Stockton)
