About the Author

Louise Clark has been the adopted mom of a number of cats with big personalities. The feline who inspired Stormy, the cat in the 9 Lives books, dominated her household for 20 loving years. During that time, he created a family-pecking order that left Louise on top and her youngest child on the bottom (just below the guinea pig), regularly tried to eat all his sister’s food (he was a very large cat), and learned the joys of travel through a cross continent road trip.

The 9 Lives Cozy Mystery Series—as well as the single-title mystery, A Recipe For Trouble, are all set in her hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia.
