The Ballad of Strum I: Strings of Mischief
(Parental Advisory: Explicit Content, 18+)
Welcome to Catnip Alley, where neon lights buzz, alleyways breathe mischief, and one guitar-wielding tabby rules the scene. Meet Strum Chords: rockstar, renegade, and feline legend of the six strings. His leather jacket gleams like his riffs, and his custom Stratocatter wails like no other. But when his lucky guitar pick—the key to his raw, untamed sound—disappears, Strum’s life goes off-key in the most chaotic way possible.
What begins as a simple hunt for his missing pick turns into a twisted, citywide escapade brimming with offbeat humor and unpredictable twists. Along the way, Strum encounters Mimi Harmonica, his sharp-witted, harmonica-wearing mouse sidekick; Peepers Glissando, a diva magpie who treats shiny things (and Strum's patience) as trophies; and Howlin’ Hank Blues, a wolf whose soulful tunes rival his stash of questionable wisdom.
As Strum navigates rival guitarists, smoky back-alley deals, and nip-fueled escapades that leave him questioning his nine lives, he discovers that what makes music magic isn’t just the tools—it’s the heart, the grit, and the guts to play on when everything else falls apart.
Irreverent, laugh-out-loud funny, and unapologetically wild, The Ballad of Strum hits all the right notes in a tale of resilience, redemption, and rocking out no matter how many feathers get ruffled. Packed with dark humor, adult antics, and enough catnip to fuel a small army of alley cats, this story is perfect for anyone who loves adventures as raw and edgy as a killer guitar solo.
Reader Advisory: This series is packed with adult themes, explicit language, and unapologetically bad behavior. Perfect for fans of dark humor, twisted adventures, and rock ‘n’ roll rebellion.
Get ready to laugh, cringe, and rock along - because Strum Chords is about to take you on the most chaotic, unforgettable ride of your life.
