My newest title is The Cat, The Quilt and The Corpse, first in the Cats in Trouble Mystery Series released May 5th. My other series features an adoption PI: Pick Your Poison, A Wedding to Die For, Dead Giveaway, Shoot From the Lip and Pushing Up Bluebonnets, all available nationwide in major bookstores, mystery independents, Wal-Mart (sporadically) and all online bookstores. All five Yellow Rose books have been purchased for audio by Recorded Books and can also be downloaded on Audible and Amazon as well as the Recorded Books Website and at many libraries. Check out Netlibrary as well for download.
