\"\"Okay, so this is day 5 of my \u201cme\u201d posts\u2014all about me and my work. As you\u2019ve learned, I have a fairly successful thing going with the Klepto Cat Mysteries and I\u2019m having such a good time creating stories for Rags\u2019s fans. Why, especially at my age, would I even consider bringing out a new series, which most of you know I have done in recent months. Why? I was inspired.\"\"<\/p>\n

Olivia made me do it. Olivia was found living under a house with her siblings when she was a wee kitten. We first met her through her photograph\u2014who could resist that cutie pie with that adorable head tilt? We had recently lost our precious Lily to kidney disease, and were ready to love another fur being.<\/p>\n

\"\"Olivia is such an interesting, creative, ultra-curious\u2014almost eerily aware cat. She\u2019s just a year old now and is no longer tiny. She\u2019s 11 pounds of rough-and-tough, sweet and sassy fluff and we love her to pieces.<\/p>\n

I began displaying photos of Olivia on my Facebook \"\"page immediately upon bringing her home, and she has charmed my followers (now her followers). People enjoyed my stories of Olivia\u2019s antics\u2014mishaps, shows of affection, and downright naughtiness. She\u2019s unique\u2014but then each cat is. And the more time I spent with this delightful calico, the \"\"more inspired I became to capture her purrsonality on Facebook and in this blog. I found myself sharing bits and pieces from Olivia\u2019s repertoire of mischief in my Klepto Cat Mysteries. Then I got the idea (thank you, Olivia) to give her a cameo appearance\"\" in a story. That was so much fun and so well received, that I took it a step further and YES, I wrote the first book in a new series featuring Olivia.<\/p>\n

Oh! Olivia<\/em><\/strong> has piqued the interest of many\u2014fans love her character and are asking for more. Spoiler Alert: Book Two\u2014Where\u2019s Olivia<\/em><\/strong>, is in the works Oh yes, after the cliff-hanger at the end of Book One, I went right to work on Book Two.<\/p>\n

Check out Olivia and her Calico Cat Mystery series at amazon, but also at our new Website: https:\/\/CalicoCatMysteries.com<\/a>. Order print books from the site and you\u2019ll get the book autographed and pawtographed\u2014yes, with Olivia\u2019s actual paw print. No worries, I\u2019m not stepping her foot into ink. We took one paw print using nontoxic, child-proof ink mixture and a friend and fan carved a rubber stamp for us. Thank you, Claire!<\/p>\n
