Patricia writes two cozy mystery series. The Klepto Cat Mysteries and her newest series, The Calico Cat Mysteries featuring Olivia, a sweet and sassy calico. Patricia has been writing for publication for over 45 years, having been fortunate enough to establish a career doing what she loves. Hundreds--maybe thousands--of her articles have appeared in over 500 different publications and she has published books on a variety of topics--grandparenting, local history, youth mentoring, journaling and many aspects of publishing and book promotion. After years of writing nonfiction, in 2012, she decided to branch out and try writing fiction and the Klepto Cat Mysteries were created. The Klepto Cat Mysteries feature Rags, an ordinary cat with a most extraordinary habit--he's a kleptomaniac. Currently, Patricia is producing anywhere from six to eight books per year in both ebook format and in print. Read the Klepto Cat Mysteries and you'll laugh, you'll sit on the edge of your chair in suspense, and you'll smile at the good-feeling you're left with when you finish each book in the series. New in 2021, the Calico Cat Mysteries.
The 33rd books find the Iveys planning on spending a week vacation in the mountains before their guests head back to Colorado. It was not their intention of taking Rags with them, but he had other ideas and hide in the baggage carrier. Someone has hidden a number of keys around the resort area. People are in a panic mode and will do anything to get a key. The men go fishing and women shopping. Rags gather a lot of attention and is kidnapped. Craig arrives to aid in recovering Rags, will he be successful?
Like most cats Rags is really good at hiding. When he realizes that his family is taking off (with the dog much less)-he hides himself in the trailer so he is not left behind! Savannah couldn't find him to say goodbye and has her friends and relatives searching high and low for him--of course he is fine and the hunt is called off.
They make it up to the cabin and immediately Rags spots something--it turns out to be a key that was hidden in a lamp. This key and others like it would cause a LOT of trouble. Greed can be a terrible thing!
It turns out that there would be an unveiling of what the keys meant at church that very Sunday--but in-between Rags get catnapped--and the Sheriff is called--will Rags escape and make his way back to the cabin? But that is not the end--after the Church service-Rags is again grabbed and held a knife point----can he be saved?
This is a fast reading book. I have always enjoyed this series and still do!!
