A friend of mine handed me the book "The Nine Lives of Christmas" and said...read this, you are going to love it...and I did!!! Do you have any other books you've written on the same lines as this one? I mean involving a cat or cats like Ambrose? If so, I'd love to get them. I love the Rita Mae Brown books with Sneaky Pie Brown, Tucker and Puter. I have that collection. I'd get the collection of your books too, if you have any more that is written like this one I just read. Thank you for listening and I'd like to know if you would get back to me on this question.

Hi Shirley! So glad you enjoyed the book. I'm afraid Ambrose is my only cat though. Thanks for asking!
