There is no guarantee that life will be better on “the other side.” Even still, we all face moments that force us to choose whether to stay where we are or take a massive leap of faith. These moments move quickly yet feel eternal, and forever change the course of our lives. Just ask Grey the Kitten.

Grey didn’t know when she leapt through the gate to leave Black Mountain Farm that she’d meet a Labrador who could hear the inner thoughts of other animals. Grey didn’t know that she’d bear witness to a kidnapping, or that her newfound friends would test her loyalty on the Trinity Trails.

Grey had no clue that she was jumping into an epic battle that would alter everyone’s future. Grey didn’t leave her beloved farm and friends behind for these reasons. She left because this was her destiny. Now, Grey must choose whose side she’s really on: the leashes or the strays. 

The leashes live at the Argos, a building named after a warrior and his dog. From a poncho clad Poodle to a rhinestone-born Bengal, the leashes appear to have everything they could ever want. But at the Argos, nothing is what it seems. In stark contrast, the strays belong to a different breed: the Stray Club. Members of the Stray Club reside across the creek at Camp David. The first rule among the leashes is that you don’t talk to or about the Stray Club. Grey has never been good at following the rules.

The Land of the Strays inspires audiences to see beyond stereotypes, engage with empathy, and reconnect as a united front. 

The bestselling Loodor Tales Series launched with The Land of the Pines. The ongoing series includes the sequel, The Land of the Strays, and the third book, The Land of the Trade. The series evolves with the reader / listener. With each book, the stories and lessons intentionally become more complex. The fourth book is scheduled for release in 2026.
