Writing Bios for #Cat #Rescue ~ My New #Volunteer Job! #pets #adopt #adoptdontshop #cats #catlife #catsrule #love #catrescue #amwriting


My two rescue cats, Max and Jinx,
taking over my writing space
to alert me they're in need
of some treats!
I've been taking a break from writing novels, so I'm putting my creative writing energy into a cause I feel strongly about ~ pet adoption!  I found a position that is a great fit for me at Forever Fortunate Felines, through a site called Volunteer Match.  I'll be writing biographies for cats needing forever homes, and these bios feed to the FFF website as well as Petfinder and other rescue sites, along with pictures, videos, and medical info I'll be in charge of organizing and posting.


My 3 furbabies, Jinx, Max, & Otis
I'm thrilled that the bios make it to Petfinder, because I found my two cats - Max and Jinx - there, as well as a number of dogs over the years, including my current border collie mix, Otis.

Forever Fortunate Felines has rescued over 5,000 cats since its formation in 2019.  FFF rescues cats in urgent need (often from high-kill shelters) and brings them into foster care until they are healthy, socialized, and ready for adoption.  This amazing organization currently works with shelters in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky, and is a 501c3 not-for-profit that vaccinates, spays and neuters, and microchips each cat during their time in foster care. 

Please consider pet adoption, and if you'd like to learn more about Forever Fortunate Felines, click here.  There are links for volunteering and donating as well - any and all support is very much appreciated!  Each cat adopted from FFF makes room for another cat to transition from a cage in a shelter to foster care and a forever home!

"Hard to Put Down..." GHOST MOON made a "Notable #Romances" List! Romantic #Suspense + a #Haunting Mystery #Book #Review #amreading #paranormal

It pays to Google your book titles once and a while!  Somehow, I missed this review and list from September 2020 ~ yes, 2020!  For many people, including myself, it wasn't the greatest of years.  But I did have my 7th novel, Ghost Moon, published that April.

While book signing events were out of the question that spring, I did as many virtual events as possible.  But as the pandemic wore on into fall and new and extensive back-to-school preparations were required, I had to push writing and promotion to the back burner.

But today I found Ghost Moon on a list of "New and Notable Romance Novels", along with a fabulous review!  It was so exciting to see my novel in the company of some very well-known authors!  I love the end of the review: 

"I got caught up in Lark's story as well as that of the ghost, and I found it really hard to put down.  I had to race through to the end to find out what happened..."

You can see the list here and read the full review, and please check out the Ghost Moon blurb on Amazon here if you're in the mood for some steamy romance spiked with a haunting mystery!


It's the perfect time to grab your next beach read!
