My Review Lynley is a volunteer at the Friends of Felines cat shelter. Five years ago, she found a stray kitten with unusual markings in a duffle bag with a cat toy, drugs and $10,000 cash. She placed the kitten in the shelter and gave the bag to the police. Now, while walking her cat, she finds the kitten all grown up living with her owner, Carry. In the meantime, her best friend, Frannie, is acting strangely.

Author’s Guest Post Setting the Scene – Scenery as a Character What’s the most important thing in a book? Some people will say plot. Others will say characters. Still others will say the writing itself. But somewhere in there is the setting. It sometimes gets lost in the shuffle. Setting isn’t at the top of most people’s lists but it’s often what draws people to a book whether they realize it or not. A small town with a hidden secret sets the stage for an intriguing mystery.

Author’s Guest Post Setting Books in a Different Country I say a “different” country and not a “foreign” country because England and Scotland don’t feel foreign to me. Different because In Britain they drive on the other side of the road, have pounds and pence, and call me “luv”. But it feels familiar because I have read so many books set in Britain. I took British history all the way through elementary and high school. And, of course, English Literature classes were truly English.
