Book Description
Good Guys Dont Wear Bells transports the reader to a realm of human insight punctuated by the unexpected arrival of a new and very different family member. This member, Russell, a cat, proves to be an influence for change and understanding. Spread across three distinctly different venues, Russells life experiences begin with his mistakenly being locked in a closed rental house on Nantucket Island only to be rescued by the new occupants who are destined to be his future family. From there his adventures are transferred to the long-since vacated backyards of downtown Detroit and the urban-renewed courtyards of the townhouses replacing them. Here he overcame numerous adversities and misadventures. His later life was spent in the Middle Eastern country of Qatar where he reigned supreme in his last conquest, a small backyard garden. Here he was united with a recent addition to the family, a Siamese queen named Starlight who had been added while he was wintering in Nantucket. This union was to blossom into a lasting love affair. In the years spent with his new family, he assumed the responsibility of their conversion from dog people as he molded them into cat lovers. This task he accomplished readily and with little fanfare as his human family worked and played. Accompanying this conversion his familys feline associations dramatically increased, the result of the rescue of a multitude of cats rendered homeless by the first Arabian Gulf War. Even with this and the ever-present Starlight, Russell remained the star. A moving story of love and pathos, Good Guys Dont Wear Bells will captivate its readers and bring them to a true understanding of feline-human bonding.

Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
It’s Halloween trick-or-treachery when murder pays a visit to a cursed mansion in the new Nick and Nora mystery . . . Waincroft Manor has long been tied to rumors of witchcraft and fatal curses, and to Nora Charles, that makes it the perfect place for a Halloween fundraiser. But her first trip to the deserted old mansion turns out to be truly ghoulish when she discovers a dead body. What’s more, the corpse is laid out in a coffin—with two bite marks on its neck. Then the autopsy comes back showing that the body was drained of blood, and there’s no stopping the local gossips from whispering the word vampire to anyone who will listen. Determined to dispel the rumors and save the fundraiser, Nora sets out to prove the murderer was quite human after all. Sifting through the clues, she learns of a bitter family rivalry that spans generations, and a more recent conflict that may point to the motive for the murder. And when Nick spells out a clue that proves to be the missing piece of the puzzle, Nora knows she’ll have to watch her back—because there’s a killer out there who wants to keep some secrets buried, and they’ll happily bury Nora right along with them . . . Includes mouthwatering recipes! Praise for the Nick and Nora Mysteries: “The story has the unique twist of a cat who communicates through Scrabble tiles, which I found to be a very fun element of the book. I really looked forward to what the cat had to say! 5 STARS” —Nellie’s Book Nook “If you love cozy mystery books with PIs, FBIs, sisters, friends, love interests . . . you get the picture! I think all cozy mystery lovers will be delighted with this entertaining series.” —Christy’s Cozy Corners “I enjoyed the mystery, which was impossible to figure out before our smart and tough protagonist nailed it. A nice solid four stars.” —Here’s How It Happened “The author’s suspenseful and startling reveal had me on the edge of my seat as I turned pages faster and faster and with the final conclusion.” —Cinnamon and Sugar and a Little Bit of Murder “Murder Faux Paws is a captivating cozy with a fascinating cat and a diverse cast surrounding him. I am excited for this series to continue and I will keep coming back for more.” —Escape with Dollycas into a Good Book
