    About this ebook

    I always wanted to create a character in my Poker Boy universe who dealt with cats. Kris and I deciding to do a series of twelve cat anthologies gave me the perfect chance.

    And people love the anthology series, The Year of the Cat. Twelve volumes with 100 cat stories.

    Superhero Pakhet Jones deals with all things cats. Her job and she loves it.

    And in this story, Pakhet helps a neighbor and superhero track down her kidnapped cat.

      The woman who had knocked on my door was not only a stunner in looks, she was extremely upset. I didn’t need any superpowers to see that part.

      She had on tan shorts, not too tight, but tight enough, and a white, thin summer blouse, more like a cover-up over what looked like a tan bikini top. Compared to my six-foot height, she was short, not more than five feet tall.

      She was pacing in front of my condo door in the Ogden in downtown Las Vegas. I had no idea how she had found me, or what she even wanted, but from what I could
