Every career has a beginning and mine started quite by design in 1973. That’s when I gathered up all of the courage and called on all of the studies I’d been involved in and wrote my first magazine article. Forty-three years later, I’ve sorta-kinda come full circle. I started out writing articles about horses and their care for major horse magazines. Today I write mysteries featuring true-to-life cats.
Some of you don’t know that the first book I wrote was a how-to for the backyard rider in 1978. After years of penning and promoting dozens of nonfiction books on a wide variety of topics, I decided to lighten up my life and produce a book of cat stories. “Catscapades, True Cat Tales” came out in 2010. This charming book is still available at Amazon. Order an autographed copy here: http://www.matilijapress.com/catscapades.html
Two years later, I sat down to write my first novel and today there are 14 in the Klepto Cat Mystery series. Read all 14 in order—starting with “Catnapped” (based loosely on something that really happened)—or read those that appeal to you most. As several reviewers have reported, although the stories progress in time, each book can stand alone.
If you like slightly revved up light mysteries (cozies) and cats, sit down with one of my Klepto Cat Mysteries and let it entertain you. http://www.matilijapress.com/Klepto-Cat-Mysteries
All of the Klepto Cat Mysteries are formatted for your e-reader. The first nine are also in print. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_11?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=klepto+cat+mysteries&sprefix=klepto+cat+%2Caps%2C236
