About this author

Sparkle Abbey is the pseudonym of two mystery authors (Mary Lee Woods and Anita Carter). They are friends and neighbors as well as co-writers of the Pampered Pets Mystery Series. The pen name was created by combining the names of their rescue pets - Sparkle (Mary Lee’s cat) and Abbey (Anita’s dog). They reside in central Iowa, but if they could write anywhere, you would find them on the beach with their laptops and depending on the time of day either an iced tea or a margarita.)

Desperate Housedogs (Book 1) and Get Fluffy (Book 2) are available in large-print through Gale-Thorndike and are part of the Clean Reads program.


Book four in the series will be out soon so if you have not yet read book three: Kitty Kitty Bang Bang now is the time!

It features a long lost sister with a very long name, Bengal cats that paint, and murder! And, of course, there's Caro and Mel and the big feud over Grandma Tillie's brooch. :-)

To celebrate we're giving away 10 copies of Kitty Kitty Bang Bang so sign up to win!
