I recently published Last Breath, which is the sixth in my Last Healer Mysteries series. If you want to read about where the idea came from, check out my blog post here.
As I mentioned in a previous post, the victim in the story had a cat which Katie and Joe adopt. The cat becomes a minor subplot as it wakes Joe up early every morning. He also adds a little bit a humor to the story as in this snippet:
After Katie hung up, she sat on the sofa with Joey and started reading him a children’s story. Max lay on top of the sofa, casually watching them, but the smell of bacon and eggs drew him to the kitchen, where Joe was cooking breakfast. He rubbed his face on Joe’s leg, then sat, looked up, and meowed.
“I fed you already,” Joe said.
Max meowed again at Joe.
Joe sighed. “This is not going to be a habit.” He picked up a piece of bacon that he had already cooked, blew on it to make sure it wasn’t too hot, then put it on a small plate. He put the plate on the floor next to Max and whispered, “Katie doesn’t need to know about this.”
Max sniffed the bacon and picked it up. He then ran into the living room with it. Joe put his hands on his head, both in surprise and dread.
“Joe!” thundered Katie’s voice from the living room a few seconds later. “The cat is eating bacon on our clean floor!”
As always, I need reviews, so I hope you consider checking out my books and reading one that sounds like it might interest you. Now I need to get on with writing Chris’s memoir.
Bad Cat Chris 
All the best with your new masterpiece!
Thank you.
Congratulations!! I need to get reading. I am a couple books behind.

Congratulations! I bet Chris’s memoir is going to be wonderful – he was a most special guy.
Hugs, Pam
That he was. Thanks.
I am thrilled for you. Writing is hard work, I admire so much those who can.
Congrats on this newest book!
ANd I giggled at Kate’s response, LOL!
Thanks. 🙂
Cats always do exactly what their humans do not want them to do. Happy you included a kitty in one of your books. Haven’t been doing much reading lately. I know I will be inundated soon, as I will be doing some judging for CWA’s annual contest.

Thanks. I rarely have time to read but I do listen to audiobooks when I’m driving or when I’m walking Frankie sometimes.
