\"\"Yeah, I sometimes ask you to name your favorite Klepto Cat Mystery, I figured it was time to reveal mine. In fact people ask me that question a lot. And I usually do the same thing you do\u2014I say, \u201cI like them all,\u201d or I simply hem and haw and dance around the question, saying, \u201cI recommend you start with Book One, Catnapped<\/em> or maybe read Meowmoirs of a Klepto Cat<\/em>, first. I sometimes say, if you like horses, dig into The Corral Cat Caper<\/em> or the more recent horsey adventure, FURever Friends<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Do you love the supernatural, then you\u2019ll have fun with Mansion of Meows<\/em> and \"\"Pawsitively Sinister<\/em>. For a lovely Christmas story involving cats, A Picture-Purrfect Christmas<\/em> is a must-read as is A Christmas to Purr About<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure many of you reading this are nodding your head in agreement and maybe giving a shout-out about another book or two that you particularly enjoyed because a cat in the story reminded you of your cat, the incident was something you could relate to, it touched your heart in some way, or it made you laugh.<\/p>\n

Yes, I have a soft spot for each of my books. I guess that\u2019s because I have put so much into each of them\u2014so much of me, in many cases. I thoroughly enjoyed introducing the characters\u2014both human and feline\u2014in Catnapped,<\/em> and shaping my first story, which took closer to six months than the two months it usually takes for me to create a story now. The Meowmoirs<\/em> was fun to compile because it took me down memory lane through each of the stories. I love horses. They were a big part of my life for several years, so I had a blast creating stories including both cats and horses. The supernatural is of interest to me and writing about it is cool because practically anything goes. You don\u2019t have to research hard facts like you do in most down-to-earth scenarios. And the Christmas stories. What can I say, \u201cGot tissues?\u201d Who doesn\u2019t love a touching story of love and giving? Oh yes, they are special indeed.<\/p>\n

Now I\u2019m going back to working on the outline for Book 36 which I believe will take place in San Francisco around art, books, something maybe sinister, and a very special child. But don\u2019t quote me as I\u2019m in the very early stages.<\/p>\n

You might be interested in knowing that Book 35\u2014On the Wrong Side of the Paw<\/em>, is with the editor. I think you can plan to read this one by May Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
