Cat Yoga Mysteries

A Pose Before Dying (#1)

This series starter quickly piles up the tension and conflict and establishes a main character who’s worth rooting for."

Kings River Life Magazine

“To finish this book, I felt as though I had just finished a weekend in the game of Clue. It was tidy, and gave the reader an enjoyable unpredictable ending. Don’t cheat by checking the folder in the middle of the board though, just take the time to read and savor this book. Every inch of this book spoke to the fall, and the possibilities that come with the season. I invite you to the Pine Hill Halloween party, where murder is expected, and love gives you goosebumps.”
