DO YOU HAVE A FAT CAT STORY?

I’ll bet many of you do, and I’d like to hear them. I’m putting my fat cat stories in the Quincy books, but invite you to post yours here!

 If you’d like, please post a story of 100 words or less about your fat cat or someone else’s, or even a fat cat story you’ve heard somewhere. I’ll pick one of the posters—somehow. If one of the stories is a standout, I’ll pick that one. If they’re all good, I’ll pick a random number.

 Then I’ll mail you a paperback copy of FAT CAT AT LARGE as soon as I get them. Publication date is September 2nd. I got one copy in the mail today from my editor and I’m very excited about this!

FAT CAT AT LARGE is the first of a new cozy series. Here's the back cover copy:


When she’s not dreaming up irresistible dessert bars for her
Minneapolis treatery, Bar None, Charity “Chase” Oliver is running
after her cat, Quincy—a tubby tabby with a gift for sniffing out
edibles. But what happens when this cat burglar leads Chase to the
scene of a real crime?



The jig is up for Chase’s adorable plus-size cat, Quincy. His new vet
says “diet”—that means no more cherry cheesecake bars. From now on he
gets low-calorie kibble only. But one taste of the stuff is all it
takes to drive him in search of better things. Quincy’s escape is the
last thing Chase needs after the nasty run-in she has with underhanded
business rival Gabe Naughtly.



Chase tracks Quincy down in a neighbor’s kitchen, where he’s devouring
a meatloaf, unaware of the much more serious crime he’s stumbled upon.
Gabe’s corpse is lying on the kitchen floor, and when Chase is
discovered at the murder scene, she becomes suspect number one. Now,
with a little help from her friends—both human and feline—she’ll have
to catch the real killer or wind up behind bars that aren’t so sweet.



INCLUDES RECIPES FOR PEOPLE AND CATS!

ARCs!

This is the first box of ARCs (Advanced Reader Copy) I've ever received. It was exciting to me! (Even if the cover isn't really there.)
