OK… Here’s another stumper. I just received a letter from a site reader (Sharon) who asks that we come up with this author. Again, I am at a loss! I told my husband that I was hesitant to post these “looking-for-an-author” letters because it shows a lack of knowledge on my part. But he assured me that since I am posting authors who site readers have recommended, authors who I have not yet read, then the site readers would not expect me to know every author who has written a cozy (or a book that someone else thinks is cozy.)
So, here goes!!!
“The reason I started looking at your list was to find an author I had read several months ago about writers living in a planned commune, with the planner and builder living up on a high hill. Most of the characters have cats, one with a very overweight one that keeps getting in the neighbor’s kitty door, and some with dogs. If anyone knows this author and the books I am asking about, I would greatly appreciate a reply.”
Does anyone out there have any ideas?
Patricia Harrington says
The author is not me and I’m not sure who it is. But I love the premise of the story/character and the “fat cat.” I have four, one of whom is fat, and the other who joined our communcal group by entering the kitty door–even when I threw him back out. Sternly, I’d say, “I have enough! You cannot join us.”
Last night, “Marley, the Man, slept on the bed with me, cozying and purring. He knew persistence would pay off.
Cheers,

Hi Patricia,
Welcome back to the site! I am in the process of fixing a Patricia Harrington page for the site, and should be posting it very soon…
