About Whiskers Abroad: Ashi and Audrey’s Adventures in Japan
Audrey has been warned repeatedly that traveling with her cat to a foreign country is a “bad idea,” but Audrey doesn’t care. She’s bringing her adored cat Ashi with her when she goes to Japan to write a travel article for a magazine. Audrey and Ashi are set for the adventure of their lives. After all, what can go wrong when Audrey allows a small cat to run lose in a big city like Tokyo?
Whiskers Abroad sets out Audrey’s and Ashi’s contrasting viewpoints of jaunting through Japan. Audrey writes her version of the frustrations and joys of their trip, and then Ashi shares his feline take on the same events. Ashi’s caustic comments about Audrey’s actions and his self-image as her constant cat-in-shining armor, rescuing her from certain disaster after disaster, make for hilarious reading.
Carrie Carter has created an entirely new category of book, globetrotting cat diaries blended with a travel guide to Japan. A must-read for lovers of cats and travel.

Author Bio:
Carrie Carter has a profound love for Japan, cats, sumo, dioramas, and eating unusual foods. She has traveled with her husband Jim to Japan fourteen times, so her numerous holidays across her favorite country were the inspiration for her first book, Whiskers Abroad: Ashi and Audrey’s Adventures in Japan. Carrie has run multiple marathons including the Tokyo Marathon, and as expected, Carrie and Jim live with an adorable cat named Frenemy, who was unhappy at not being selected as the model for the book.
Carrie lives in Houston, TX and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin. At home, she loves to cook, design/create Halloween costumes, and daydream about meeting Jacques Pepin. She dislikes overly dramatic music used in reality TV shows. Currently, Carrie is working on her second book, a sequel to Whiskers Abroad, where Audrey and Ashi explore further into Japan and get themselves into even more interesting predicaments.
