I finished Book 49 of the Klepto Cat Mystery series yesterday—and yes, number 50 is in the works. The latest completed story (49) is currently with the editor. I should get it back in a few weeks, then we put the finishing touches on it, format it, and publish it. The bad news is I don’t expect to release it by Christmas. But the good news is that it will surely be available for your reading pleasure shortly after the first of the year.
If the restrictions continue and I find myself isolating at home for another several months—and if I don’t get sick like I did in February of this year (keeping me from the computer for a month), I should be able to kick out another eight or maybe nine books in 2021. This is one of probably many blessings you can count during the pandemic—you’ve had a new Klepto Cat Mystery to read just about every six weeks this year. Another blessing is the comfort your cat brings. (Which we’ll discuss in more depth on Thursday.)
Meanwhile, there are some interesting stories and topics coming up for discussion in this blog during the week. Tomorrow I’ll share the story of a rapper who became a trapper (to save cats). It’s quite a heartwarming story. Wednesday, we’ll talk crazy cats. It is “Sometimes Crazy Wednesday” after all, and who doesn’t have a cat with some quirks? Friday I want to share with you my impressions of a few books I’ve read or scanned recently. So if you’re looking for an interesting or sweet or intriguing book to give along with some of the Klepto Cat Mysteries this holiday season, this might help.
Meanwhile, Olivia continues where Lily left off as my right paw in the Klepto Cat Mysteries factory–taking inventory, uncluttering the desk, and reminding me when it’s time to take a break.
