Our guest today is author Miranda James, author of the popular Cat in the Stacks mysteries. Today Miranda shares some thoughts about Charlie and Diesel's latest adventure!
And Then
There Were Six
By Miranda
James
One cat in the house can be handful enough, but what about …
six?
That’s the case in the latest “Cat in the Stacks” mystery, when Charlie
finds a box with five kittens on his doorstep one December morning.
In this case, the title of the book came to me before the
storyline. I knew the book would be set at Christmastime, and the title Six Cats A Slayin’ popped right into my
head. Once I had that title, I had to come up with a way for six cats to enter
into the story.
Hence the box of kittens on the doorstep. Charlie, softie that
he is, wouldn’t just take the kittens to the shelter, especially after the
mysterious person who left them included a note begging for his help.
Then there’s Diesel. How would Diesel react to five frisky
kittens in his domain? He’s used to putting up with Stewart Delacorte’s little
poodle, Dante, but kittens? Well, turns out Diesel doesn’t seem to mind them at
all.
Besides the mystery of who left the kittens on the doorstep,
there is also the mystery of the new neighbor across the street. Geraldine
Albritton claims to have grown up in Athena, Mississippi, but Charlie’s friend
Melba Gilley has never heard of her. So who is
Geraldine Albritton? And what could possibly go wrong at her open house/holiday
party when all the neighbors are invited?
Six Cats A Slayin’ goes on sale today!

ReplyDeleteCats! Who can resist? I had seven at one time, if you include the neighbor's cat, who insisted on moving in and out of my house after one of the dogs in his household had puppies.
