Summary
What do you get when you mix a cozy mystery, talking cats, and Miami Beach in 1998? On this episode of Cattitude, Michelle Fern chats with New York Times bestselling author Gwen Cooper (Homer’s Odyssey) about her delightful new feline whodunit, You Only Live Nine Times—where cats talk to each other (not the humans!) and team up to solve a murder. Gwen shares the real-life, heart-racing moment that inspired her “crime-fighting cat” idea, why writing mysteries intimidated her at first, and how she made sure everything her cats do in the book is something a real cat could do. Plus: cat personalities, feline “communication,” behind-the-scenes writing secrets, a sneak peek at book two (The Cat Wore Black), and how buying direct from her shop supports animal rescue organizations.
