As many of you know, I came out with my first novel\u2014my first work of fiction\u2014in June. It’s Catnapped, a Klepto Cat Mystery<\/em> and it\u2019s on Kindle. After two months, BRISK sales, good Amazon rankings and some great and critical feedback, I decided to pull the original version, hire a proofreader and do a rewrite. The new, improved Catnapped<\/em> is live at http:\/\/amzn.to\/14OCk0W<\/a> It\u2019s $2.99 and only on Kindle. Soon to be in print.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the storyline: When Savannah Jordan agrees to help her aunt while she recovers from a broken foot, she doesn\u2019t expect to walk into a mystery, become part of a not-quite-legal surveillance team, be kidnapped by a deranged stranger and meet a steaming hot veterinarian. Beloved neighborhood cats are missing\u2014the community can only guess at their fate\u2014and Aunt Margaret\u2019s life is being threatened. Is it because she has a clue to the missing cats or is it something more sinister?<\/p>\n

If you like light mysteries with only a little terror, if you\u2019re infatuated by interesting cats and if you love a love story, you must read this book. <\/p>\n

This story of neighborhood cats disappearing is loosely based on a true story. Cats were going missing in a California neighborhood. Just this week, I heard from a friend in Arizona who said neighborhood cats were disappearing. She later let me know that most of them returned home after a few days. Very strange. Perhaps the Arizona cats were being taken by aliens\u2014you know, little green men. They were implanted with super intelligence genes and will soon be running the country OR they\u2019ve been programmed to murder their families in their sleep. Maybe they\u2019ll spawn litters of little green kittens. Well, that\u2019s for another story\u2014and maybe a science fiction author. For now, I love the cozy mystery.<\/p>\n

In fact, book two, Cat-Eye Witness<\/em> will be released probably mid October. Some people say that cats would make great witnesses in court. Well, in this story, the main cat character, Rags, actually participates in a line-up and he does a pretty good job of pawing the bad guy.<\/p>\n
