Sneaky Interviews Percival the Cat from Brushed Up on Murder, the First Mobile Cat Groomer Mystery by Ruth J. Hartman

Hello, Kitty. What is your name and your author’s name?

 Hi there! I’m Percival. My author’s name is Ruth J. Hartman

Mice to meet you both.

What book(s) have you appeared in? Please list them and their genre.

 I’m in “Brushed Up on Murder.” It’s a Cozy Mystery.

Ooh, how nice. I’m a cozy mystery cat myself.

Are you in a series? If so, please give information about it.

Yes, “Brushed Up on Murder” is the first book in Ruth’s new series about a Mobile Cat Groomer.

What a pawsome theme. I’m a library cat in the Cobble Cove cozy mystery series.

 Are you based on a real cat such as your author’s? If so, please give further details.

I’m not based on Ruth’s cats, but she said a lot of the funny things I do make her think of them.

Cats do funny things. I’ve done many in my books, as has Debbie’s two cats. I was based on her Siamese who is now on Rainbow Bridge. I’m not his duplicate. I’m much younger and have my own purrsonality.

Can you share an excerpt from one of your books that features you in an important scene? If so, please include it.

“Okay, ready to go? I can give you a lift back to your home or salon or you can come with me, your choice.”

Since my appointments were finished early for the day, I opted to go to the garage. Even though I knew nothing about what he might be doing to my van, I’d feel better being there to give the van moral support. Not that I’d say as much to Ollie. “We’ll go with you if it’s okay.”

He eyed Percival, then lowered his eyebrows. Uh oh. Did he have a thing against cats? “I guess it’s all right. Not sure Management would agree with having an animal on board, but we’ll give it a try.”

“Management? I thought you owned the garage. Then that would be you.”

He shrugged. “Yep. Guess it would. All right. Get in.”

I shook my head, reminding myself I had no other alternative. I tried to climb into the van while still holding Percival. It didn’t go well. He balked at climbing in ahead of me and I couldn’t very well get in first and leave him on the sidewalk.

Before I could stop him, Percival climbed up my chest, onto my shoulder, and clawed his way onto my head.

It seemed the only way I was going to get both of us in the truck at the same time. Trying not to make eye contact with Ollie, I reached up to the handle right inside the door and hoisted us up, trying not to cringe at the decades of grime on the passenger seat.

From the driver’s seat I heard, “Nice hat.”

Ignoring him, I plopped down, and reached to my right for the seatbelt.

It wasn’t there.

Turning to Ollie who was grinning, I pointed my thumb behind me. “No belt?”

“Sorry. Haven’t had the time. It’s not far to the garage. Hold on tight. You’ll be fine.” He then proceeded to fasten his seatbelt and start the engine.

This had to be in violation of more than one traffic law, but again, I had no choice. Placing one hand on Percival, still on my head, and the other clinging to the side of my seat, I took a deep breath and let it out.

We bumped and screeched through the streets of town finally arriving at the garage. Ernie Price, Ollie’s assistant. was there, standing outside of a large, open garage door. He waited until Ollie waved then gave a salute, and waved his arms, air traffic controller style, until Ollie had backed us all the way into the building.

Percival was still on my head, but had repositioned to turn around, which involved sharp claws sticking and poking my scalp every time he tried to get comfortable.

Glad one of us was.

Hopefully, he wasn’t drawing blood. Didn’t want to have to explain that to anyone. Wearing my cat like a helmet was bad enough.

After Ollie had backed us in, taking forever to reverse and go forward numerous times to get it exactly right, Percival and I were permitted to exit the truck.

Surely once we were out of the vehicle, my cat would allow me to hold him again.

No such luck.

I reached up to grasp him, but he dug in even more.

“Ouch, not so deep, little guy.”

Ollie rounded the truck and approached us. “Hat giving you trouble, is it?” His grin was wide.

I rolled my eyes. “He’s just a little scared to be in here. Loud noises, big machinery, and all.”

He nodded. “Sure. Guess I’m used to it by now. Doesn’t bother me. Okay, well, you and your hairpiece can wait over there”— he pointed to a few old metal chairs against a back wall — “and I’ll see what we’re up against.”

Rather than address his lame attempt at another joke at my expense, I headed toward the tiny, grimy waiting area.

I would have rather stood while I waited but standing upright with the ten-pound weight on my head was hurting my neck and back. Plus, Percival didn’t seem to have plans to vacate my head any time soon.

That’s a purr-fect excerpt. Thanks for sharing it.

What do you like most about your role in your authors’ books?

I love it that even though Ruth’s book about a cat groomer has to do with lots of kitties – the cat groomer’s clients, I’m the character’s (Molly’s) own personal cat. She takes me on mobile visits with her. I get to help!

Love that. You are certainly the star of the series then.

Are you a talking cat in your books or just a silent one like I am who just meows occasionally?

I don’t say words, like the ones people would understand, but I sure do meow and purr a lot. Sometimes I even growl!

MOL (Meow out loud). Debbie’s female cat growls. I started saying words but only to the other pet characters and our readers. The human characters in my mysteries don’t have a clue, except Alicia who interprets my body language and cat sounds.

 What advice would you give other cat characters?

Always listen to what your author says. She knows what to do! And be ready to assist the main character in the story with whatever is needed.

I agree with that advice totally.

Do you have any new books coming out? Please give dates and details.

Brushed Up on Murder will release on April 18^th. Ruth is working on other books but doesn’t have the exact release dates yet.

No problem. Debbie never has her release dates and since she’s working on another series, I have no idea when the next Cobble Cove book will be out. All I can do is hope and pester her.

Sneaky interviews Nick Charles, the Cat from A Purr Before Dying by T. C. Lotempio

Hey, there, Kitty. Welcome to my blog. What is your name and your author’s name?

My name is Nick Charles, and the human who chronicles the adventures of myself and my human,  Nora, is T. C. Lotempio.

Mice to meet you both.

What book(s) have you appeared in? Please list them and their genre.

To date I have appeared in six books: Meow if It’s Murder, Claws for Alarm, Crime and Catnip, Hiss H for Homicide, Murder Faux Paws, and our most recent adventure, A Purr Before Dying. All are cozy mysteries.

Wow, Meow! We have something in common, as I’ve also appeared in the six books of the Cobble Cove cozy mysteries.

Please give information about your series.

The Nick and Nora Mysteries chronicles the adventures of myself and my human,  Nora Charles. Nora is a former true crime reporter from Chicago who returned to her hometown of Cruz, California, to take over her late mother’s sandwich shop. But in between slicing pastrami and roast beef we always seem to stumble upon a body or two.

That sounds pawsome and delicious. Lucky you. There’s not too much food in the Cobble Cove library for a hungry cat like me, but I do manage to get some scraps from the library staff and Alicia, of course.

Are you based on a real cat such as your author’s? If so, please give further details.

Yes, my character is based upon T.C’s cat Rocco.  Rocco is a feisty tuxedo, much like myself, who even writes his own blog.  He gave Toni, or T.C., the inspiration for the series when he jumped up on her lap while she was watching The Thin Man movie.

How wonderful. I’m based on my author’s Siamese cat, Oliver, who, sadly, passed five years ago. I’m honored to carry on his memory and have to admit I do a great job doing it.

Can you share an excerpt from one of your books that features you in an important scene? If so, please include it.

Excerpt from Nick & Nora 5, Murder Faux Paws:

I felt a soft breeze as the bullet whizzed past me, narrowly missing my cheek. I hit the floor face-first, narrowly missing Nick, who’d arranged himself into full Halloween cat mode—back arched, eyes slitted, lips curled back to reveal sharp fangs that gleamed white in the room’s inky blackness. I reached out and dug my fingers into his ruff, pulling him toward me. He didn’t resist. His back lowered and he curled himself against my side, but the fangs were still bared. We stayed that way for a few minutes, waiting for another shot to ring out, but the only sounds in the room were the rapid thudding of my heart and Nick’s panting. When nothing else happened, I relaxed my hold on the cat. “Hey, Buddy. You okay?” I whispered.

“Merow.”

He sounded almost indignant as he pulled away from me and started inching further into the room. “Nick,” I hissed. “Get back here.”

He paused and turned his head, fixing his golden stare on me. His lips parted and he emitted a loud hiss. Translation: Stupid human, I know what I’m doing. Haven’t I saved your life before? Tail upright, he padded forward, ignoring me. Swell.

I waited a few more minutes, and when no more shots were fired, raised myself cautiously up on one elbow and peered into the blackness. The outline of a desk was visible, near a window that stood half open. I picked myself up and moved slowly toward it, every muscle tensed, ready to drop back down at the slightest movement. I reached the window and glanced quickly out. A fire escape was just outside. Whoever had taken that shot must have used it as a quick escape route. I stepped back and jumped as my ankle brushed against soft fur. “Er-ow,” said Nick.

“Sorry, Nick. Did I step on you?” I glanced down and saw that he had his paw on a rather large object. A flashlight. I leaned over, picked it up and flicked it on. It was pretty dim, but at least there was some light. “Good find, Nick.”

He puffed his chest out and cocked his head at me, the corners of his lips tipped up in a kitty smirk.

Footnote: Murder Faux Paws won the Firebird Award last year for best cozy mystery of 2022

Great excerpt. Concatulations on  your award!

What do you like most about your role in your author’s books?

I enjoy the fact that I give Nora pivotal clues to solving the mysteries through the use of Scrabble tiles!  Also that I have rescued her more times than we both can count!

Nice job!

Are you a talking cat in your books or just a silent one like I am, who just meows occasionally?

Ah, funny thing . . . in the original manuscript I did talk, but the powers that be at my then-publisher didn’t want a talking cat, so henceforth I became silent.  But I think volumes.

Well said. I went the other way. I was quiet except for normal cat sounds in the first four books of my series. Since then, I’ve been able to communicate with the other pets and understood by readers but not the human characters.

What advice would you give other cat characters?

Meow softly and carry a big stick of catnip.

(MOL). Meow Out Loud! I love that.

Do you have any new books coming out? Please give dates and details.

A Purr Before Dying, Nick & Nora #6, came out February 21^st.  Nick and Nora #7, Bell, Book and Murder, will be out around October of 2024 (it’s a Halloween-themed mystery).

Ooh, I love Halloween-themed mysteries. I especially enjoyed my role in No Gravestone Unturned where I witnessed a murder in a graveyard on Halloween. I also met Salem, the black cat, who was a guest in that book.

Are you and/or your author on social media? If so, please list your links.

Absolutely!  We can be found on twitter at @RoccoBlogger,

No one’s who they seem in the thrilling new Nick and Nora Mystery, and someone’s playing the part of a clever killer . . .

When a nighttime soap opera comes to town to film an episode, no one’s more excited than Nora Charles, who’s landed the contract for catering the shoot. But if she thought the show’s plotlines were full of drama and intrigue, that’s nothing compared to what she witnesses among the cast and crew, who are sneaking off for secret liaisons one minute and at each other’s throats the next. It’s all a titillating behind-the-scenes look for Nora—until she stumbles across the body of the show’s slain director.

It’s not long before the local authorities finger the brother of Nora’s good friend for the evil deed, and it’s up to Nora and her sidekick Nick to get him off the hook. As she begins to sort out the cast’s romantic entanglements and professional rivalries looking for a motive, she also discovers that the victim was involved in the mysterious death of the show’s previous director.

And then another member of the crew is found murdered, and Nora knows she’ll have to act fast to figure out who’s playing the part of the killer, before she’s cast in the role of the next victim . . .

About T.C. LoTempio

While Toni Lotempio does not commit – or solve – murders in real life, she has no trouble doing it on paper. Her lifelong love of mysteries began early on when she was introduced to her first Nancy Drew mystery at age 10 – The Secret in the Old Attic. She and her cat pen the Nick and Nora mystery series originally from Berkley Prime Crime and now with Beyond the Page Publishing. They also write the Cat Rescue series from Crooked Lane and the Pet Shop series, originally published by Midnight Ink and rebranded last year as “Urban Tails Pet Shop Mysteries.” Book six in the Nick and Nora mysteries, A PURR BEFORE DYING, is released this February from Beyond the Page. There is also a new series, Tiffany Austin Food Blogger, coming out in April.

Sneaky Interviews Ruffles the Cat from A Study in Chocolate by Amber Royer

Hi, there, Mr. Cat. What is your name and your author’s name?

Hi!  I’m Ruffles, a big rumbly tuxedo cat.  I was rescued as a kitten from a parking lot, and now I have a job.  I am an emotional support cat.  Cool, right?  My author’s name is Amber Royer.  She lives in Texas, just North of Dallas.

Mice to meet you. In my opinion, all cats are emotional support pets but not all characters cats do that job well. Kudos to you, Ruffles.

What book(s) have you appeared in? Please list them and their genre.

I’ve been in two cozy mysteries.  I first got page time in A Shot in the 80% Dark, where my owner—who’s an artist – was present when the book’s murder happened.  I’m also in A Study in Chocolate – where I finally made the cover.  (There’s been a different companion animal highlighted in each book.  In the last one, I lost top billing to a bird.  It was a cockatoo that lived at the art museum and pretended to paint, but there was a big oversight and a missed opportunity there to feature yours truly, don’t you think?)

I’ve only been on two covers of my six-book Cobble Cove cozy mystery series, even though I’m the star of the books. In Debbie’s new series, The Buttercup Bend series, she gives top billing to a different animal each month, although the cats play big parts, too. The first book featured them up front, while the last one gave parrots parts. Her work-in-progress is featuring llamas.

Are you in a series? If so, please give information about it.

Yes, I’m part of a series.  I didn’t get to be in the first couple of books, though.  The Bean to Bar Mysteries take place in Galveston, Texas.  They all star Felicity Koerber, who opened a craft chocolate business on the historic strand – only to have to deal with a murder at her grand opening party.  After that, she’s found herself repeatedly in the wrong place at the wrong time, and getting involved in solving murders.  It’s become a running joke that she’s a murder magnet, so that by the time you get to A Study in Chocolate, the killer actually calls her out, demanding that she solve the murder before someone she cares about becomes the next victim.

I first met Felicity in the fourth book in the series.  Felicity had taken a commission to do a chocolate sculpture for a museum event, and was using the attached studio space.  My owner, Gently, was doing a portrait of me at the time.  A Study in Chocolate is the fifth book.  I hate to say it, but this time, I wound up in the study of an off-kilter historic home, with the murder victim.  How that happened is a long story.  But it does help Felicity figure out the identity of the murderer.

The series sounds great, and I’m glad you were able to get some parts. My kitty co-star, KittyKai, didn’t enter our series until the fourth book, but I’ve been there from the start, since A Stone’s Throw was published.

Are you based on a real cat such as your author’s? If so, please give further details.

My author had a big black and white tuxedo cat named Solomon, who passed away a few years ago.  He lived to age 20, and was a very patient, sweet cat.  I guess he and I have some traits in common.  We’re not exactly alike, though.  He had a tendency to eat plastic and nibble any plants or flowers he could get near.  I have more discerning tastes.

We have something in common, Ruffles. My author’s Siamese passed away five years ago. He was 17, and I am somewhat based on him. By the way, Debbie’s current black cat, Harry, is a big plastic (and also shoelace, wire) chewer. It’s a bad habit and one I don’t share.

Can you share an excerpt from one of your books that features you in an important scene? If so, please include it.

I don’t want to give spoilers about what I was doing at the crime scene, so here’s a scene where I get to shine in my role of emotional support.  Plus, you get to find out more about me and my owner.

I’ve never been to Gently’s home before. It’s not what I expected. It’s so . . . ordinary. All of the furnishings are mid-century, but surrounded by updated tech, like the giant flatscreen on the wall, and sound system speakers placed discreetly around the room. It all looks casual and worn – but some of the pieces are clearly reproductions. And gently looks perfectly at home sitting on the sofa with Ruffles in his lap, purring loudly.

“I like your place,” I tell him. I’ve already apologized a dozen times for the fact that we’d shown up so late. He has assured us he’s a night owl.

Gently says, “Thanks! A lot of the furniture belonged to my parents. I just had the sofa re-upholstered, but most of it is just well-maintained.”

“Belonged?” Logan asks. Logan is sitting near me, and I’m sitting near the wall outlet, keeping my phone plugged in, so that in case I get another call from the killer. It would be bad if the device dies in the middle of the conversation. I think Logan feels like he’s protecting me, but this time, I think I’m equally protecting him, because if he’s with me, the killer can’t strike without me witnessing it – which leaves me nothing to solve. Logan leans forward and asks, “As in they redecorated and gave you the old furniture? Or . . .”

“The second one,” Gently says. “My parents disappeared when I was still a teenager. They are presumed dead, so I inherited the house. But I was a suspect in the disappearance. If there had been bodies, I’m sure I would be in prison right now. I had come home late from a party, and I saw a random stranger locking our front door, with a key on a fob I didn’t recognize. I tried to talk to him, and he ran, so I chased him, and he kept shouting that he was unarmed and not responsible – like he thought I was trying to kill him or something.”

Logan snorts a laugh, despite the seriousness of the situation. “So you told the police the unarmed man had kidnapped your parents?”

“Something like that,” Gently says miserably. “I’m sorry, but why is this funny?”

Logan says. “It’s just – it’s a sounds-a-like for that line from the Fugitive, where the guy claims the one-armed man killed his wife. It’s no wonder the police didn’t believe it.”

This all sounds vaguely familiar, though it must have happened after I had moved to Seattle. Even there I had still gotten some news from home, and people had been theorizing. “You’re talking about the Anders case. You’re Perry Anders. That’s why you changed your name.”

Gently grimaces. “It seemed prudent, given the press and the way people were reacting. I felt lost, and couldn’t find my footing anywhere in my life. So the name basically suggested itself.” Gently starts petting Ruffles rhythmically, probably trying to calm himself, and at first the cat is okay with it, but after a minute, Ruffles turns around and bites at Gently’s hand. Gently moves his hand away. It doesn’t look like the bite broke the skin. “I’m still convinced that guy with the key knows something. But the police never found him. So I never got closure. Sometimes I still have these dreams that my family is still together. There’s a recurring one where my mom just came home from the grocery store, and is calling me to come help bring in the bags.”

“That has to be tough,” I say sympathetically.

“Yeah,” Logan says. “It’s hard to not be able to escape into your dreams.”

He sounds like he’s speaking from experience.

Gently says, “I couldn’t escape anywhere. At first, I stayed home all the time, just in case my mom or dad came back. And then it got harder and harder to go out. And when I did – it felt like people were staring at me, or that the police were still watching, waiting for me to do something that would incriminate myself. For a while they were. I know they’re not now – or maybe they are again, since Arlo seems convinced I know something about what happened to Mitch. So maybe that’s a rumor going around now.”

“If we thought that,” Logan says, “We wouldn’t have come here alone tonight.”

Of course, that’s not entirely true. I do still have some suspicions about Gently – possibly because he’s the only solid suspect we’ve found. And Logan has expressed suspicions too. But neither of us are convinced Gently has it in him to plunge a weapon into someone’s chest.

I feel empathy for Gently. It’s hard enough to lose someone you love, under any circumstances. At least when my husband had died, there hadn’t been suspicion of foul play. I can’t imagine grieving while being considered a suspect. And the idea that no one believed his account of what had happened – it’s no wonder he developed an anxiety issue. And now it must be opening the emotional wounds, knowing that he’s being suspected and potentially not believed all over again.

Gently can’t seem to stop petting the cat. Ruffles bites him again, this time more insistently, and jumps off of Gently’s lap.

Logan says, “It must be a challenge to have an emotional support animal that walks off when you’re in need.”

“It’s my fault for irritating him.” Gently waves a dismissive hand. But then he grasps his hands against each other in his lap. “Ruffles never goes far. And I like that he’s honest about his feelings. There’s nothing ambiguous between us. And he always knows when I’m really upset. He’ll come and sit on my chest and lick my chin. I’m not sure if he knows his weight helps calm my anxiety, but I like to think he does.”

“Is that why you chose such a big cat?” I ask, half-joking.

Gently laughs. “I found Ruffles when he was just a kitten. He was lost and half-starved and so small he fit in the palm of my hand. It happened shortly after my parents disappeared, and the house was so empty – bringing him home added a little spark of life again. I may have saved him physically, but he kept me from drowning.”

Ruffles comes back and plops down, stretching out across Gently’s shoe.

Purrs! Love it! Thanks so much for sharing. It’s a purr-fect excerpt.

What do you like most about your role in your authors’ books?

I love that I get to show people the benefits of having a cat.  Studies have shown that just petting one of us, or having a single play session, can reduce anxiety and stress.  Cat owners are also statistically less likely to have cardiovascular issues.  I like to think it’s because of the calming effect of a feline presence.

That’s pawsome.

Are you a talking cat in your books or just a silent one like I am who just meows occasionally?

I express myself a great deal, through body language and occasionally showing my claws.  But no, I don’t speak like the humans in my books.  I can, however, express just as much with a swish of my tail as humans can with an entire paragraph of dialogue.

I used to do the same, Ruff, but after KittyKai entered the picture, I started conversing with her and letting our readers and the other pets in our books understand us. Alicia, our main character and the other humans in the book still only see our body language and hear an occasional meow, purr, or growl.

What advice would you give other cat characters?

Find someone who needs you just as much as you need them.  It’s an easy way for both of you to become empathetic, and once readers get attached to you, you have the opportunity to become returning characters in the series.  If you’re fortunate enough to belong to the protagonist, show that person affection early in the book, so that the reader will wonder what is so loveable about the protag that even an independent cat can’t help but bond with them.  Also, don’t hack up hairballs on the page – it would be a big turnoff to readers.

That’s great advice, especially the last part – MOL (meow out loud).

Do you have any new books coming out? Please give dates and details.

A Study in Chocolate just came out on January 17.  The sixth Bean to Bar mystery – which will center around Felicity’s best friend’s wedding and the murder that threatens to ruin it – is due out in July.

Concatulations!

Felicity Koerber’s bean to bar chocolate shop on Galveston’s historic Strand is expanding, as it has become a gathering spot for the community, despite having been the scene of multiple murders. Artists she met while doing a chocolate sculpture are now working out of the shop. So when Felicity is invited to tea by an eccentric art collector, she’s intrigued, especially when she gets asked to pose for a portrait done with chocolate on chocolate. However, when a murder takes place the next day at the same historic house where the tea was held, one of Felicity’s artist friends becomes the main suspect.

When the killer threatens that, unless Felicity unravels the murder, one of her two love interests will be the next victim, she finds herself unwittingly at the center of a puzzle, with a Sherlock Holmes obsessed murderer who wants to be the next Moriarty – and wants to cast Felicity as Sherlock.

Felicity starts finding unexpected connects between her friends and acquaintances, and has to deal with the idea that someone who knows her is a murderer. At the same time, she has to keep her business running, despite construction dust and unruly customers – and an unexpected order for thousands of truffles.

Satchmo the retired police dog turned therapy dog returns to help her sniff out a few clues, and the kidnapping of Ruffles, the quirky artist’s cat, helps lead Felicity into the puzzle. Can Felicity solve it in time to protect the people she cares about from becoming additional victims?

That sounds like a purr-fect read.

Sneaky the library cat interviews Macavity from Not Me! Speluncaphobia Secrets and Hidden Treasure by Charlotte Stuart

Welcome to my blog, Kitty. What is your name and your author’s name?

My name is Macavity. My author’s name is Charlotte Stuart.

Mice to meet you. What book(s) have you appeared in? Please list them and their genre.

I’ve been in three books – all amateur sleuth/cozy.

• Who, Me? Chimeras, Conundrums and Dead Goldfish
• Why Me? Fog Bows, Fraud and Aphrodite
• Not Me! Speluncaphobia, Secrets and Hidden Treasure

I love cozy mysteries. My author writes two. I’m in her Cobble Cove cozy mystery series. As you may guess, I’m a library cat.

Are you in a series? If so, please give information about it.

The books listed in question 2 are part of a series. The series is all about me. Well, mostly about me. The subtitle for the series is “A Macavity & Me Mystery.” The “me” is Bryn Baczek. I live on a sailboat with her in an urban marina in Seattle. She found me at a shelter and decided to adopt me because both she and I have two different colored eyes. I don’t solve any mysteries, but I’ve saved Bryn a couple of times. In return, she lets me roam the docks and feeds me my favorite foods. It’s a pretty good relationship.

That sounds like such fun. And I recognize you now, Mac. My author did a spotlight for your first book. https://wp.me/p6m4z7-2uy

Are you based on a real cat such as your author’s? If so, please give further details.

My author is allergic to cats, so I’m her only “pet.” She adores me. Claims I’m trouble free even when I’m misbehaving. She named me after a cat in a poem by T.S. Eliot – Macavity: The Mystery Cat. Like Eliot’s Macavity, I’m orange. But the similarities don’t end there. You’ll have to read the poem to see what I mean.

I’m quite familiar with that poem, and your name. Sorry your author can’t have a real cat. Debbie has two now. She’s had cats since she was young.

Can you share an excerpt from one of your books that features you in an important scene? If so, please include it.

I’m an integral part of Bryn’s life as illustrated by this typical morning scene after she learns of a relative’s death:

Suddenly my cantankerous and handsome orange cat was next to me, kneading my arm with his claws, gently, as if he’d come over to comfort me for my loss. I rubbed his ears, still shedding a few tears that glistened on his fur as they fell. The idyllic moment didn’t last long. Macavity dismissed me with an abrupt “murf,” leapt off the bed and headed for the galley and his breakfast.

“Okay,” I said. “I’m coming.” I pulled on some clothes, a pair of jeans and a wrinkled tie-dyed T-shirt, and went directly to my Keurig. I usually make my coffee before feeding Macavity, and he knows the routine, but he never fails to protest at the injustice of having to wait the thirty or so seconds it takes me to put water and a K-cup pod in the machine.

Nice excerpt. Thanks for sharing it.

What do you like most about your role in your authors’ books?

I get to hang out on the docks and occasionally travel with Bryn on “our” sailboat. And it’s clear that Bryn needs me to lend order and comfort to her life. And to check out the men she considers dating. I’m very good at accessing people.

All us cats are great at that. That’s why we’re such good help to amateur sleuths like Alicia; and, in your case, Bryn.

Are you a talking cat in your books or just a silent one like I am who just meows occasionally?

I don’t talk human, but I have ways of letting my concerns and demands be known. I do more than “just meow” though. I have a command of a variety of sounds and nonverbals. I’m a very expressive cat. And very attractive, I might add.

And modest, like me, too.

What advice would you give other cat characters?

Don’t always do what’s expected of you by your patron. Be yourself. Remember, cats are smarter than humans in ways they don’t understand. Take advantage of that.

Great advice.

Do you have any new books coming out? Please give dates and details.

My author is working on one for publication sometime in 2023.

Pawsome!

• A suspicious death and surfeit of suspects
• A sailboat trip up the Inside Passage and . . . a stowaway cat

Two cousins get together to investigate the death of a favorite uncle and to honor his legacy by fulfilling his dream to recover Aztec gold. They are thwarted in their efforts by greedy family members, a jumble of challenging clues, a prank from the grave, and unscrupulous treasure seekers.

What begins with a letter from the deceased leads to a wilderness adventure and ends with revealed secrets and a confession.

Sneaky Interviews Milton and Pearl from Dial M for Meow, the first Bookshop Kitties Cozy Mystery by Ruth J. Hartman

Hello, kitties. Welcome to Sneaky the Library Cat’s blog. What are your names and your author’s name?

My name is Milton. My sister, Pearl, and I are quite pleased to be featured in our author’s, Ruth J. Hartman’s, newest book!

Mice to meet you both. It’s great to be featured in an author’s book. I remember when Debbie wrote me into A Stone’s Throw, the first book of her Cobble Cove series. I was so excited.

What book(s) have you appeared in? Please list them and their genre.

We are in “Dial M for Meow.” It’s a fun cozy mystery.

I love the title. It sounds pawsome.

Are you in a series? If so, please give information about it.

“Dial M for Meow” is Book #1 in the Bookshop Kitties Mysteries Series. Our book mom, Christy Bailey, helps her aunt run a bookstore.

Oh, cool! I’m a library cat, but I love bookstores, too.

Are you based on a real cat such as your author’s? If so, please give further details.

Pearl and I are a mix of our author, Ruth’s three cats, Remmie, Murray, and Molly. Author Ruth uses funny things they do to write scenes for us in her books.

Debbie does the same. She used to have three cats, but her Stripey went to Rainbow Bridge last may. Now she just has Harry and Hermione. They are featured in her new Buttercup Bend series as kittens to start. She also put Stripey in there, too, as a memorial to him.

Can you share an excerpt from one of your books that features you in an important scene? If so, please include it.

It seemed as if Milton and Pearl were prowling for clues, systematically checking

spots and spaces in an organized manner, then sitting together for a moment, heads close together as if conferring on what they’d found. I shook my head. No, how silly. I must be imagining things, stuck in my author state of mind, because how they acted now was shockingly like their namesakes in my mysteries. As if they’d read the stories and were acting them out. It might not have seemed so ludicrous if my cats could read. But, of course, they couldn’t. At least I didn’t think so.

A purr-fect excerpt. Thanks for sharing it.

What do you like most about your role in your authors’ books?

This is Pearl speaking! My brother, Milton, and I have so much fun being in Ruth’s book! We get to act like furry detectives, just like the character, Christy, writes about in “Dial M for Meow.” It’s exciting! When Ruth is writing about us, we help her out on the pages by giving her purrs of encouragement.

That’s wonderful, Pearl. I’m sure it’s very helpful.

Are you a talking cat in your books or just a silent one like I am who just meows occasionally?

My sister and I meow, hiss, and purr, but don’t talk like our humans. However, with our meows and body language, we make sure our book mom, Christy, knows when we’re giving her new clues.

I used to do the same until later in the series. Now I talk to the other pets and readers but not to Alicia and the other library folks.

What advice would you give other cat characters?

To always be ready for anything the author writes for you to do. Milton and I stay ready to pounce, meow, purr or dig up clues. Whatever Ruth wants us to do!

Sounds like you are both prepared for your various roles in Ruth’s book. That’s always a good thing.

Do you have any new books coming out? Please give dates and details.

This is Milton again. Our new book, “Dial M for Meow” was out on January 10^th! We waited a long time for it and tried real hard to be patient.

Are you and/or your author on social media? If so, please list your links.

About Dial M for Meow

Dial M for Meow (Bookshop Kitties Mysteries)
Cozy Mystery
1st In Series
Setting – Green Meadow, Indiana
Gemma Halliday Publishing (January 10, 2023)
Number of Pages 153
Digital ASIN ‏ : ‎ B0BKHF9T7K

When children’s book author, Christy Bailey, receives a call from her aunt Betty to help out at her bookshop, she drops everything to go. Christy packs up her two cats—Milton and Pearl, the stars of her children’s mystery books—and leaves busy Philadelphia for tiny Green Meadow, Indiana. The timing of the call is perfect, as Christy’s letch of an ex-boyfriend has just cleaned out her savings, leaving Christy with a pile of unpaid bills and a desire to start over. And what better place to do that than a charming small town in Middle America?

But when Christy reaches her aunt’s bookshop, instead of small town hospitality she finds a dead body! Even worse, her aunt is passed out in the corner, hands covered in blood. The dead woman is an old frenemy of her Aunt Betty, and while Christy knows her aunt is innocent, the local detective isn’t so sure. With Milton and Pearl prowling for clues, Christy is determined to find the real killer and clear her aunt’s name… before her story ends in tragedy!

About Ruth J. Hartman

Ruth J. Hartman spends her days herding cats and her nights spinning mysterious tales. She, her husband, and their cats love to spend time curled up in their recliners watching old Cary Grant movies. Well, the cats sit in the people’s recliners. Not that the cats couldn’t get their own furniture. They just choose to shed on someone else’s.

Ruth, a left-handed, cat-herding, farmhouse-dwelling writer uses her sense of humor as she writes tales of lovable, klutzy women who seem to find trouble without even trying.

Ruth’s husband and best friend, Garry, reads her manuscripts, rolls his eyes at her weird story ideas, and loves her despite her insistence all of her books have at least one cat in them. See updates about her cozy mysteries at Ruthjhartman.com.
