I've started the third book in The Form Benders series entitled, The Form Benders, The Cat's Meow. Well, that's the working title at the moment, anyway. This new story will take Ripley and his friends back into the world of the humans, where Ripley's friendship with Pete Cranston and Pete's family will take center stage.

The two young men will be forced to believe in and trust each other, and their own strengths, to find the rest of the form benders who have magically disappeared from Haven's Rest. They will meet their foes on a battlefield of wits, and learn that the "cunning of the cougar" within them will be required to outsmart Kestler and the FBEF forces that are dogging their steps.

As Ripley's form changes once again, new trials and challenges will face him at every turn. Once Ripley is transformed into a cougar by the magic he possesses, the challenge of convincing his friend that he is, in fact, his old bud Ripley, will be a confrontation that neither of them will soon forget. As they reunite to return Whitemane, his family, and the rest of the inhabitants of Haven's Rest to their homes, securing the town from further encroachment by Kestler and her minions, the tangled events seem to become increasingly more obscure. Armed with only their common sense and their crafty ideas, Ripley and Pete must solve the mysteries that surround the form benders disappearance and outmaneuver the machinations of the evil Kestler.
