About The Christmas Cat Burglar

Hank was captured on a Tuesday. At least, that's what he believes.

In his secret diary, Hank shares his life as a captured spy who’s had his memory erased, trapped in a prison the humans call a “home.” His wardens are called “Mom” and “Dad,” and his chief guard is a slobbering dog named Buster (Be careful, he licks everyone).

When news of a “Cat Burglar” reaches Hank, he’s sure this will be his rescuer. Will the cat burglar save Hank or ruin Christmas? What will Hank do?

About the Author

Hank

Dwayne Riner

Dwayne Riner spends his days dreaming up fun adventures for kids. He’s been a children’s pastor for over 20 years and he loves making kids laugh. Sometimes he’s even been caught pretending to be a grown-up (Shh! Don’t tell anyone!).

Dwayne also helps takes care of the real Hank the Cat, who he’s pretty sure doesn’t think he’s a spy or a prisoner…at least, he hopes not. Dwayne lives in Texas with his family, and their two cats (for now).
