Jinx the cat has a bad reputation for always being in the wrong place at the wrong time – and this Halloween turns out to be no different….

His former owners called him “Cursed” – blamed him for their troubles that began occurring after they got him, which is reason he was turned back into the shelter. But Clarissa Lightfoot, owner of the new Cat Café doesn’t believe it and wants to help clear his name, so she brings him to the new café (doubling as a halfway house for homeless animals). – There’s no such thing as a Cursed Cat…. Or is there???

The Cat Café is hosting a costume party fundraiser for Halloween to help homeless animals. After the party, it’s discovered that someone stole $$ from the cash register, and Clarissa is implicated in the crime.

Someone wants her & her new café to go “Poof” and disappear – but who & why?

Can Jinx – along with handsome police officer Cody Shelton – help discover who’s playing tricks on Clarissa this Halloween?

Author Interview with Annee

Q: What was the inspiration behind this novel?

Annee: The inspiration behind this novel was my own cats & love for animals. I have a heart for pet rescue and helping homeless animals. I also know pets have their own (sometimes very big!) personalities, and I couldn’t wait to showcase the animal characters in this book. 😊 I also love cozy mysteries and have been reading mysteries ever since I was a little girl. Writing them has been even more fun that I could have imagined!! The animals definitely hold a special place in my heart – as do all my characters..

Q: What do you hope readers take away from this novel?

Annee:  I hope that readers take away a light, clean, non-murder fun Halloween mystery (no violence, sex, language, etc.), that includes lots of humor, ambience, a cute mystery, and touch of romance. I hope they finish the book smiling from ear to ear!

Q: Would you share something about yourself that most readers wouldn’t know?

Annee:  Something about myself most readers wouldn’t know….I’m barely 5’ tall and 90 lbs if I’m lucky. I wear kids’ clothes and shoes. My daughter is taller than I am. I was also raised in a small town in rural Texas next to a ranch. Now I live in the city of Seattle. Definitely worlds apart!! I’ve been a mom to 1 daughter, 6 cats, and 1 dog. The animals have all crossed the rainbow bridge over the last several years and I feel another kitty is in our future sometime in the next year. I actually have a tattoo of the cartoon cat from Bewitched on my back. Along with the word Faith.

Q: How many bookshelves are in your home?

Annee:  I have 7 bookshelves in my house LOL (and multiple Kindles). I have an easier time parting with my grandmother’s estate jewelry than I do my physical books!!

Q: Who is an author you would recommend to anyone and everyone?

Annee:  An author I would recommend to anyone/ everyone – God. Reading the Bible & Bible studies is one of the best things a person can do. I highly recommend the Daily Grace Company for Bible studies.

Q: Where can readers find out more about you and your novel?
