Lily sneaking a treat

Coming soon! A NEW Klepto Cat Mystery—The Colony Cat Caper. Oh, what a beautiful cover this one is shaping up to be. I’ll reveal it as soon as it is completed.

And we’re bringing book number 3 out in print in a few weeks, as well. That’s Sleight of Paw. Two births this month. Exciting!

In the meantime, if you’ve read any of the Klepto Cat Mysteries, be sure to post your positive review at Amazon.com. If you haven’t read any of them, check them out here– http://amzn.to/1kAI8I2

Catnapped is the first. Then Cat-Eye Witness, Sleight of Paw and Undercover Cat. Some say the last one is the best one so far!!!

In the meantime, how is your cat spending the summer? Well, I guess it is not officially summer. The kids aren’t even out of school. But it seems like summer here in So Cal. It’s even been HOT along the coast. So the cats in our neighborhood have been rather comical in their lethargy—lying out in the shade in the most unnatural positions. They’re giving the wild birds a reprieve, which is nice since the birds are busy building nests. Even our inside cats are adopting new habits—very little lap-sitting. It’s just too hot to cuddle. And I’ve had the bed to myself most nights, this week. The cats are off snoozing under a ceiling fan or air vent someplace.

Thought I’d share some cute pix of Lily and Smokey.

The weather is calming down across the US. The kids will be out of school soon and some of us will be traveling. Many of us are already starting to load the books we want to read during our leisure onto our e-readers and packing those hardcopy books we plan to devour in tote bags.

If you like a light mystery with a little humor, romance and, of course, cats, be sure to choose some of (or all of) the Klepto Cat Mystery series for your reading pleasure.

Catnapped is the first in the series, then Cat-Eye Witness, Sleight of Paw and Undercover Cat.

If you’re like many Klepto Cat fans, you’re ready for a new book. Guess what? It should come out before your summer vacation starts. Watch for The Colony Cat Caper.

All of the Klepto Cat Mystery series books are on Kindle. Catnapped and Cat-Eye Witness also come in paperback. Order your copies today at www.amazon.com. Here’s the secret link to a series of fun reads. http://amzn.to/1kAI8I2

All’s well in the Klepto Cat Mystery factory–where Catnapped, Cat-Eye Witness, Sleight of Paw and Undercover Cat were produced. The Colony Cat Caper is coming as soon as my artist can create the art-work. I’ve seen a preliminary sketch and I like it. In my world, I’m not used to letting projects sit around on my desktop. I move ’em in and move ’em out rather quickly. For example, I had an editing job last week. I estimated that it would take me two-weeks to complete. I was finished in 7 days.

And look how fast I write my novels. The first one was published in June of 2013, the second October of the same year. The third book came out in January of 2014 and the fourth–Undercover Cat–this past March (last month). No moss grows under the Klepto Cat’s paws.

If you haven’t read any of these mysteries yet, consider purchasing one (or four) of them for your Kindle for summer reading NOW. Or buy the first two–Catnapped and Cat-Eye Witness in print. They’re all right here: http://amzn.to/1kAI8I2

I hope you enjoy the photos of Lily in this post. Lily was born in a Volkswagen–one of 15 kittens born to three feral cats that year. The females have been spayed. Yay!!! And I am thrilled to have welcomed Lily into our home five years ago as a wee kitten. She’s always been a good eater. Must have been a bully at the mother’s milk bar as a newborn OR she was constantly pushed out of the way. We don’t know what issues she faced as a tiny kitten, but she sure has food issues now. She never misses mealtime and she will eat practically anything.
Here she is checking out one of her favorite foods when she first came to live with us–CHEESE. And the second shot shows her wrestling with a new jar of her favorite dried chicken treats trying to get it open. Isn’t she just the cutest thing?

Undercover Cat has acquired six reader reviews at Amazon so far, and all of them are 5-stars. That’s encouraging. Undercover Cat is the 4^th in the Klepto Cat Mystery series and probably the one with the most action. Although, I’m not writing action stories. These are cozy mysteries.

To read them in order, start with Catnapped. Follow up with Cat-Eye Witness, Sleight of Paw and then Undercover Cat. Order the Kindle or print versions here: http://amzn.to/1kAI8I2

(Only Catnapped and Cat-Eye Witness are in print so far.)

Lily kitty is having trouble keeping her eyes open lately because of all the reading she’s doing. She loves reading about Rags, the kleptomaniac cat in the latest book in the Klepto Cat Mystery series. “Undercover Cat” introduces a kitten that resembles Lily and she is fascinated by the kitten’s antics—some of them similar to her own.
