Cold Case Cat, a new Crazy Cat Lady Cozy Mystery

An injustice done, a murder unpunished.

It’s Pride Month in Portland Oregon, but instead of hanging rainbow flags and streamers, Lynley finds herself obsessed with a cold case murder. Starting work at the Cat Park, a sanctuary for senior and hospice cats, is challenging enough for Lynley, but then she learns the founder of the Park was murdered and the murder never solved. Lynley’s cat-like curiosity won’t let her leave the case alone.

But why is the Park’s new owner so fiercely opposed to Lynley’s sleuthing? What’s making the Director of Philanthropy grumpy all the time? Who is sneaking around listening at doors? The dead woman’s ancient cat has a twinkle in her eye, but she isn’t telling.

As Lynley’s granddaughter and her beau make plans for their upcoming wedding, Lynley has other things on her mind. Something is going on at the Park. Is there more to her new job than playing with cats?

(***Books need not be read in order***)

I’m excited!

It is such a great feeling for an author when their book is finally finished, published, and out to the world for all to see. I am proud to have fans in the UK, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, and more! I love all my books—how else could I write them?

But this one has a special significance for me. It involves the storyline creation of a fictitious sanctuary for old and hospice cats. If only I were a millionaire, I could and would make it happen in real life. I’m not, so I must console myself by making one up and putting it into my book.

I’ve enjoyed working with the characters, old and new. Lynley the not-quite-crazy-yet shelter volunteer with the curiosity of a cat. Her friend Frannie who, in this installment, is about to change her life. Special Agent Denny Paris, the animal cop and Lynley’s guardian angel.  Lynley’s granddaughter Seleia and her fiancé Fredric who are trying to plan their wedding without interference from Seleia’s domineering mother. Most of the new characters are staff and volunteers at the Cat Park, the sanctuary I mentioned earlier. And best of all, the ancient cat Silver who, despite her age and ailments, is a star in more ways than one.

It’s a Giveaway contest!

As we near the launch of a new Crazy Cat Lady cozy mystery, some of you might want to catch up on the previous titles in the series. You don’t need to read each book in the order they were written. Every story is a standalone. But maybe you’ve missed one or two, or you have a favorite you’d like to gift to someone who enjoys cozy cat mysteries. Now is your chance!

What is National Cat Day?

According to Wikipedia (which BTW I support annually):

National Cat Day is a day to raise public awareness of cat adoption, taking place on August 8 in Canada and October 29 in the United States. The National Day Archives website states that the holiday was first celebrated in 2005 “to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of cats that need to be rescued each year and also to encourage cat lovers to celebrate the cat(s) in their life for the unconditional love and companionship they bestow upon us.”

The day was founded by Colleen Paige, a pet and family lifestyle expert, who was supported by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which is a nonprofit pet adoption organization.
