Bill's current passion is The Mike Fargo Mysteries, a series of novels and novellas about a tough detective working in the New York City of the 1920. The novel, Murder on Murderer's Row is available as both an ebook and in paperback on Amazon, an ebook on other venues. The novellas, Death of a Flapper, Murder on Broadway, Seven Days to Murder and The Grab-A-Cab Murder are currently available as ebooks. A sixth book, Roaring Twenties Cop, Mike Fargo's Own Story is told in Fargo's words and serves to bring the lead character of the series to life, as he talks about his childhood on Staten Island, the reason he became a cop, the New York City of the 1920s and some of his cases. The book serves as an introduction to the series and is available for free on the Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iBooks, Kobo and Smashwords websites.
And hopefully there is much more to come.

This is a practical book, written in simple language with fun illustrations, that discusses owning a cat as a pet. It answers questions that many cat owners have and explains their innate behaviors. It recommends how to introduce new pets to the family, especially with other pets in the house.
Some of the informations seems a bit dated, and I purposefully skipped part of the section on declawing cats. Ever since I read The Cat Whisperer: Why Cats Do What They Do--and How to Get Them to Do What You Want by Mieshelle Nagelschneider, I no longer call it declawing, but toe amputation.
Otherwise, it was a fairly straightforward book that really allows children to understand the complexities of owning a cat. I liked that they explained how older cats might not react well to a kitten in the house. We'll have to consider carefully what kind and age of cat we will adopt and bring into our home, since we have a older cat at home now. We enjoyed reading this book together.
