All love and fluff...and way too smart for me!

Not as innocent as she looks!

This is Molly's best impression of Elmo, the Heathen (long gone, I'm afraid).

 Now you have met Miss Molly.  She is about a year old and from what I can tell, she is a little bit Maine Coon, part tabby and 100% pure joy!

The next two books are ready to publish.  I have to finish the covers, then they will be on the way to the Publisher.  As usual, Smashwords.com will have them listed on their site and you can also get them from your favourite book seller.  So look for "Miss Lulabelle Lavinia LaFontaine's Senior Detective Agency" and "The Christmas Victorian."  They are polar opposites of one another, but great stories.

Lulabelle gets up to her usual craziness after finding a dead body in her brand new walk-n bathtub and it's up to her - and her intrepid team of crack detectives to solve the murder.  The police help a little, but mainly, the senior citizens get it bang on.  Never sell us seniors short.

In the Christmas Victorian, we have a love story, not just for one generation, but for two.  It's about the restoration of a treasured city landmark, but also about two people falling in love, knitting a family back together and keeping a new family together in the face of all odds.

Yes, polar opposite stories, but both so enjoyable to read.  These two "cozy" style books should be published before the end of the year, with "Death Across the Pond," The 'Ghost' in Bolton Hall" and "Murder and Pasta Don't Mix" being released in eBook format probably in December.

Coming next year, another installment of Miss Lulabelle's antics with "The Walkabout Mummy."  Lula finds herself teaching at the university in Bemidji when one of their exhibits goes walkies. It's up to her (along with a couple of her students) to find the mummy, along with its sarcophagus, and return it to the university - and catch the thieves.

This series of new stories featuring the woman you'd love to be (once in a great while) is set in the years prior to her demise and will eventually conclude where "Northwoods Forest Mystery" begins.

So look for all kinds of new things coming, more photos of my little munchkin, Molly and whatever else springs up in Davenport, Iowa!!
