.jpg)
After an injury disrupts her journalism career, Kate Tessler has to start over at 50, figuring out how to get work, make friends, and live in the heart of her loving but interfering family. Now she and her quirky gang of sidekicks have new problems to solve.
Kate's father and his coffee group are worried. Their friend Larry
married a younger woman who now claims he has dementia and won't let anyone see
him. They think his wife and her lazy adult children are keeping him isolated
so they can steal his money. They're determined to save Larry, and they need
Kate’s help to prove what’s happening.
Before they can dig out the truth, a murder raises the stakes, and
Kate's father is among the suspects. To save him and Larry, she must reveal the
real murderer – but her investigation could put all their lives at risk.

“Kris Bock’s series about the Cat Café provides delightful reads for those who enjoy sweet romance and pet rescue stories.” - author Gayle M. Irwin
Can getting stranded in a creepy house full of abandoned cats turn these enemies into friends—or even something more?
After a rotten week, Holly jumps at the chance to go on a
rescue mission. Dozens of cats are stranded in a remote house where the owner
has died. They’ve been abandoned, and she can sympathize. But she did not agree
to make the road trip with Dustin, her rival and biggest headache at the cat
café where they both work.
Dustin has given up trying to get Holly to like him. Still,
a long drive through a snowstorm and an overnight in a house full of cats might
bring them together—or result in his violent demise. But what they find is
worse than they ever imagined: no lights, no heat, the snow still coming down,
and over twenty hungry, skittish cats. They’ll have to work as a team to
survive and save the animals.
One thing is certain—if they make it back alive, their
relationship won’t be the same.
“I really loved this book from the very
beginning to the very end.” – Patty M.
The Furrever Friends Sweet Romance series features the
workers and customers at a small-town cat café, and the adorable cats and
kittens looking for their forever homes. Each book is a complete story with a
happy ending for one couple (and maybe more than one rescued cat). These sweet
romances will leave you with the warm, cozy feeling of cuddling a purring cat. Get a free 35-page novella set in the world of the Furrever Friends cat café when you sign up for the Kris Bock newsletter. You’ll also get a printable copy of the recipes mentioned in the cat café novels.
This title stars Merlin, the Maine coon cat readers adore,
and many more cats to fall in love with. It includes the tropes two against the
world, antagonist to lovers or enemies to lovers, and forced proximity. Visit the Furrever Friends Sweet
Romance series page on Amazon US
or Amazon UK.
"An amazing story about rescuing 20 or so cats
and finding friendship. Or maybe more… In
the Cat Café tradition Kris Bock has established, this is a really fine book.
Keep up the series, please!" - author Dee
Knight
“No lights?” he said.
“No heat, either. At least the water works.”
He hadn’t even noticed until then that the inside of the house was
almost as cold as outside. Probably not really – it might be in the 40s inside.
But it was certainly too cold for comfort, and if it got even colder during the
snowstorm, the cats could be in danger.
“Have you tried any more light switches?” he asked.
“A few. Either multiple light bulbs have burned out, or the
electricity is completely out. We should look for a breaker box.” She shone her
light around. “Do you notice something about all these cats?”
“Like there’s something strange about all of them? I was wondering
if it was my imagination and the shadows.”
“Look at the way that one is moving.” She pointed at a cat who was
hopping, almost like a rabbit. “I think it’s missing both front legs.”
“It’s not the only one missing something.” Dustin pointed his
flashlight at a black cat perched on a pile of newspapers on the sofa. It had
one large ear sticking up like a triangle. “That one’s missing an ear, and
maybe a chunk of its head, though that’s impossible so I’ll blame the shadows
for that impression.”
“What have we found?” Holly whispered.
Kris Bock is on a roll (or should I say cupcake?) with this series. The family, friends, workers, and patrons of the cat café are all nice people, the kind you would like to stick around with, and watching them get their just desserts is a real treat. This time, baristas Holly and Dustin rescue a van-load of handicapped cats from a spooky old house during a snowstorm and end up thawing a chilly relationship.” - author Jennifer Bohnhoff

Excerpts: #1 - A Stolen Heart
A Stolen Heart
In this scene, Luc and Senthys are riding in Luc's hoversine (a limousine that flies right above the ground). The word arcane conjures up magic and sorcery, but its definition is "requiring secret or mysterious knowledge." To Luc, who's an Arcane Master in the Thieves' Guild, those secrets are the lifeblood of the skill. Here, he explains one of the basic rules to Senthys, who is three. Pietas is the king, Luc's ex.
The boy swung his feet, which, on the short rise of the hoversine's safety seat, meant he kicked the main seat with his heels.
That was already old and it had just started. Luc leaned down close to distract him. "Let's learn some thief rules."
"Why?" Senthys tilted his head. "Don't you already know them?"
Luc stopped himself from reacting. After all, he was talking to a child, not that different from talking to Pietas. "Yes, I do, and I'm going to teach them to you. I told you there would be two rules inside the store and if you obeyed them, you could pick out a toy."
"Oh. I 'member." Like Luc, Senthys folded his hands before him. "Ready."
"You are to stay next to me at all times. You may hold my hand if you like, but do not leave me to look at things, or to see things unless I give you permission. Is that clear?"
"Yes, sir."
"Say it back to me."
"Um..." The boy fidgeted. "All of it?"
Luc decided against counting for patience--to any number. "Tell me what you understood."
"Stay with you."
"Good! That's perfect."
The child bounced in his seat.
How delighted this boy was to do well. Luc must encourage that. "The other rule is not to steal anything in this store. Say it back to me."
"Don't steal in the store?"
"That's right!" Luc patted his hands together. "What a good job."
Senthys clapped, grinning.
"I'm going to tell you something and I want you to always remember it. Honorable thieves do not steal unless under contract. If an honorable thief cannot afford something, then he must work a regular job to earn the money." Luc placed a hand on the boy's arm. "My Deshai are honorable. They do not take things without a contract. Understand?"
"Yes, sir. Can I have a contract?"
"Are you level thirteen?"
Luc brushed at his sleeve. "I'm level forty-eight."
"Oh." The boy nodded as if impressed. "Is that better than thirteen?"
Amusing, however deflating that might be. "Quite a bit better," Luc told him. "It's the highest in the Guild. Arcane Master."
Senthys cocked his head. "Then that's what I want to be. A Arcane Mister."
"Master," Luc corrected, smiling. "Arcane Master."
"Arcane Master. I want to be that. Brinn says I can be anything."
True words. Luc held up a hand, reached across the seat, and Senthys high-fived him. "Your brother is absolutely right."

#BookBuzz on The Accidental Detective, a humorous #mystery series with a midlife heroine #MFRWhooks #MFRWorg
.jpg)
War correspondent Kate Tessler has followed the most dangerous news stories around the world. But can she survive going home?
Injured in a bombing, Kate returns to her hometown in Arizona to recover. For the first time in her life, she's starting to feel her age (49), even though she's living like a teenager again: staying with her father, trying to understand why her sister resents her so much, and running into people who still think of her as Kitty.
Seeing her mother in an Alzheimer's unit is the hardest part – until an old friend asks her to investigate suspicious deaths at that nursing home. Is a self-appointed "Angel of Mercy" killing patients to end their suffering? Are family members hastening their inheritance? Is an employee extorting money and removing the witnesses? Kate uses her journalism skills to track clues, but the puzzle pieces simply won't fit.
If Kate can't uncover the truth, her mother could be next on the killer's list.

My childhood home had faded in the harsh Arizona sun and now showed its age—rather like me. I’d never dreamed of living here again after thirty years of traveling the world.
This
is temporary. You’ll find a way
out.
“Do you need help?” My sister’s tone
made it clear the correct answer was no. She’d already hinted that picking me
up at the airport had been one more burden in her busy life.
“I got it.” I eased out of the car
and limped to the trunk to retrieve my travel backpack, still getting used to
my new cane. My thigh throbbed where the doctors had dug out the shrapnel and
stitched it back together with Frankenstein scars. My usual fast stride was an
awkward hobble up the walkway. My luggage might have been “light,” considering
it held everything I owned, but it still nudged the airline’s weight limit.
The front door opened, and I forced
a smile. Jen disappeared inside, and Dad and I stood face-to-face.
Our smiles faltered. I dropped the
backpack and stumbled into his arms. Tension drained out of my body. I blinked
back tears and felt his frailty, the tremor in his hands. He smelled like Dad
with a hint of a newer scent, something that only seemed to come from old men.
“Welcome home,” he whispered.
“It’s good to be home.” I needed to
rest and heal, and where better to do that than in my parents’ house? In a few
weeks—I promised myself weeks, not months, and definitely not years—I would be
well enough to return to journalism. “How’s Mom?”
“Good. Well, you know. She’s settled
in. She can’t wait to see you.”
I didn’t ask if she’d remember me. I
hadn’t noticed signs of Alzheimer’s on my last visit, but that had been a year
ago, and Jen assured me Mom had faded fast. She also made it clear that since I
was home with no job, it was my turn to take care of our parents.
Behind him, Jen sighed loudly.
“Don’t coddle her. She needs to stay active.” You wouldn’t know from the way
she acted that Jen was younger by two years.
Dad winked at me. “Come and sit
anyway.”
Jen hustled outside. She glanced
back through the open door. “Welcome home.” She sped down the path without
waiting for an answer.
I closed the door and looked at Dad.
“I guess I caught her on a bad day.”
“No, just a day. Hey, a friend of
yours runs the care home. She gave me a message for you. Said it was urgent.”
He shuffled through the mail on the little table by the door.
I couldn’t think of any friends in
Arizona. I hadn’t had any here since my childhood. My friends were scattered
around the world, wherever news was happening. If she ran the nursing home, she
might hope I’d write a story on the facility to promote it, or do some free PR
work. Drat. Were people going to treat me like I had nothing better to do than
give away my time?
Double drat. I did not, in fact,
have anything better to do. And I wanted a nap.
Dad handed me an envelope. I leaned
on the door and propped my cane against the table so I had two hands to tear
open the envelope. The handwritten message inside was brief:
Kitty—Please
come see me ASAP. I need your help.
—Heather
Garcia
“She sounded . . .” Dad hesitated. “She asked about your journalism and begged
me to bring you in as soon as possible.”
Begged? This could be interesting after all. But who was Heather Garcia? Someone I knew in high school, given her use of my old nickname. Maybe I’d recognize her when I saw her. Or maybe not. I hadn’t changed a bit, of course, but other people sure looked different after thirty years.
