When the alphabet series is finished with Cat in an Alphabet Endgame in 2016, he'll start a new series. I won't be using an alphabet, because it's now easier to indicate the order of series books in other ways. Thanks for asking!(less)

I'm sure you give Smokey plenty of good fishes! It is Midnight Louie III now, a shelter kitten when adopted and now a lean, mean feline machine, as athletic as a Siamese and all alley cat. The original ML was a cat I wrote about in the newspaper when I was a reporter before I became a full-time fiction writer. His obit has never appeared anywhere, so, as far as I know, he still is "out there" somewhere, like the truth. (less)

“When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
Arthur Conan Doyle, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes

“Anything worth thinking about is worth singing about.”
Bob Dylan, The Essential Interviews

“Consider the cartoon character of Betty Boop.” “The baby-voiced twenties flapper with the huge eyes and the spit curls…boop-boop-a-doop?” “The cartoon was based on a singer named Helen Kane, but Kane grabbed her share of glory by imitating another singer, Annette Hanshaw. Both Kane and Hanshaw are pop culture footnotes today, almost a hundred years later, but Betty Boop has become a commercial icon of the flapper and lives on in cheesy merchandise everywhere.”

Janice Happy New Year.


Janice I also love the deep reds, watermelon pink, and the purples. Have a great day.


Carole Douglas Yes, I love to see the white among the colors. "Summer's Snow" is a perfect description!


Janice I love those various color titles, and crepe myrtles are among my favorite flowering bushes. I call the white crepe myrtle blossoms Summer's Snow. Have a great day.


Carole Douglas Janice wrote: "Have a beautiful summertime."

All the crepe myrtle bushes are blossoming and it's really beautiful. I'm designing covers for my new eBook editions of the Midnight Louie series with colors in the titles, Cat on a Hyacinth Hunt and Cat in an Indigo Mood, so I'm working with beautiful blues and purples I see outside. Hope summer is in full bloom where you live!


Janice wrote: "Thank you for friending me. I've been skimming thru your books for years, since I've been working in a public library for over 30 years. I really have loved your Irene Adler books. Have a great day."
