Hi Book Lover, I write about cats - just cats. I write both fiction, like cozy cat mysteries & thrillers, and nonfiction, like fascinating or bizarre cat facts.  I hope you find my books funny, thrilling, suspenseful and informative.  I live in Alberta, Canada with my two fabulous felines, Alley and Tanzy. And, yes, I love kitties! Life is all about cats, Peter Scottsdale

His wife appeared from the kitchen, cleaning icing from her hands with a towel. She put one hand on her hip.

Shadow, be good. Where is he? she said and looked about the room.

We’ve got to do something about him. I swear if he causes more trouble, I will— Justen said.

He’s young. He’s still learning. What were you like as a kid? she said and reached
