2023 is half over and we’ve been busy. So far this year we’ve produced 7 cozy mysteries—4 Klepto Cat Mysteries and 3 Calico Cat Mysteries, and there are more coming soon, even though I’m struggling a bit with a wrenched back and a broken toe. Yeah, Happy Birthday to me. No, I wasn’t in a car wreck or anything—these things occurred from two separate incidents. I’m getting clumsy, I guess and forgetting which decade I’m actually in. I’m healing nicely and Olivia is making sure of it. She’s such a good nurse.
I’ve put the finishing touches on Book 15 of the Calico
Cat Mysteries. All we have left to do is format the Kindle version. Still don’t have a cover design yet, either. Projected date of publication—if all team members are available—is around July 10. Oh is this ever a sweet story with some interesting new characters and lots of kitten action. Olivia does love kittens.
Book 65 of the Klepto Cat series is in the beginning stages, and the story is unfolding nicely. I think you’re going to love this mystery.
Here are a few recent comments from readers:
- “This is the best book yet.” (Someone says this about each of the books.)
- “Never a dull moment.” (Yeah, I try to keep things lively.)
- “This is a wonderful mystery.” (I love trying to create suspense.)
- “Reading Olivia’s stories leaves one feeling good.” (Ahhh—as it should be with a cozy mystery.)
- “I couldn’t put the book down.” (I like hearing this.)
- “My eyes couldn’t keep up with me as I read this book.” (Eager to see what happens next?)
- “I read it in one sitting.” (I hear that often—housework, cooking, getting the mail, feeding the animals, that much needed pedicure go by the wayside when a new Klepto or Calico Cat mystery arrives.)
And readers often say, “I can’t wait for the next Klepto Cat (or Calico Cat) Mystery.” (So I keep writing and creating as fast as I can.)
Thank you Rags- and Olivia-fans for the ongoing encouragement to continue producing these stories.
