Welcome to my books page!

I'm the author of three nonfiction books and a new mystery series. The nonfiction books run the gamut of mental health, family, and feline issues and are available in both hardcover and paperback edition. These are Mad House: Growing Up in the Shadow of Mentally Ill Siblings (Penguin), Fatherless Women: How We Change After We Lose Our Dads (Wiley), The Feline Mystique: On the Mysterious Connection Between Women and Cats (St. Martin's).

My Theda Krakow mystery series begins with Mew is for Murder, Cattery Row, and Cries and Whiskers, and will continue in April 2009 with Probable Claws (all from Poisoned Pen Press). Click on the covers below for excerpts, reviews, and more.

I also have essays in the Cat Women: Female Writers on Their Feline Friends (Seal Press) and For Keeps: Women Tell the Truth About Their Bodies, Growing Older, and Acceptance (December 2007, Seal Press)
