About the author

Lois Brown’s love of all things fantastical began at an early age when her five older brothers made her watch television shows such as “Dr. Who” and “Lost in Space.” (Yes, the originals.) Her passion for science fiction continued when, at age 12, she spent an entire summer buying “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi” collector cards. She used her babysitting money earned over an entire year to get a full set. Now she likes to write her own books that spark the imagination. Her first novel, CYCLES, was a top 5 finalist of The Kindle Book Review’s “Best Indie Books of 2012.” She has recently appeared on televisions shows such as "Montezuma's Treasure" aired on the History Channel 2 in connection with her latest release, ROBBED OF SOUL

Reviews

[Nancy · Rating 3 out of 5]

A throwback to 1985, when Jenny, while working her paper route, discovers a dead cat belonging to one of her neighbors. Inspired by her favorite TV detective, Mangum P.I., she sets out to investigate that feline's murder.

Light and fun read for tweens where they will experience the land of Rubik's Cubes and Smurfs, and anything else big in the 80's. For me having been thru that decade, it was a wild ride!

Catching Katil is written for a younger audience than Lois Brown's other books (which I loved). As an elementary school teacher I really enjoyed this refreshing mystery. Children will love it! What a great ending!
