'The New York Times bestselling author of No Cats Allowed and Arsenic and Old Books is back with more Southern charm and beguiling mystery as Charlie and Diesel must find a killer in a room full of librarians.Search for: Follow Sneaky The Library Cat's Blog on Categories Thanks so much for the interview, Diesel, and best whiskers to you and your author on your new release and upcoming books.

That’s the book Debbie has on reserve at the library.

The next book, Twelve Angry Librarians, will be out today, February 21 st, 2017. You should hear Oliver first thing in the morning.ĭo you have any new books coming out? Please give dates and details. I’m the silent type myself, but Siamese can be vocal when they want to be. I do talk a lot, but it’s all in warbles, chirps, trills, and meows. He doesn’t have his own blog – MOL (Meow Out Loud).Īre you a talking cat in your books or just a silent one like I am who just meows occasionally? I also have a dog co-star, Fido, but I don’t mind. I am trying to get more action parts with my co-stars Alicia and John. Sounds like you have some prime time in those books. I get to meet lots of humans who give me attention – but there are some who I can tell aren’t nice humans. And I like it that he takes me everywhere with him (except to church and the grocery store, whatever they are). I like helping my human, Charlie Harris, when he gets involved in a murder. What do you like most about your role in your authors’ books? I’m a Siamese based on my author’s cat, Oliver. The Diesel weighed 40 pounds and was a really big kitty! Her Maine Coon, whom Miranda met once, was named “The Diesel” after a Washington Redskins running back. The inspiration for my character was a cat who belonged to the late Barbara Mertz (better known to readers as Elizabeth Peters and Barbara Michaels). I am a library cat myself, so I am quite familiar with stacks and mysteries, of claws.Īre you based on a real cat such as your author’s? If so, please give further details. I think my author, who is a librarian and cat lover, would enjoy your series. Yes, I am in the series known as “The Cat in the Stacks” but I also make an appearance in the “Southern Ladies” mysteries (that’s in Bless Her Dead Little Heart). Can you please tell us about your series? I have an interview with another pawsome guest, Diesel Harris from Miranda James’ Cat in the Stacks mysteries.
