Tailed: A Psycho Cat and the Landlady Mystery

Award-winning mystery writer, Joyce Ann Brown, author of the Kansas City set Psycho Cat and the Landlady Mystery series, was a teacher, librarian, landlady, and Realtor before becoming a short story, blog, and novel writer. She has two mischievous cats of her own and lives with her husband in the Kansas City area. Ms. Brown spends her days writing (with a few breaks for tennis, walking, and book clubs) so Beth, the landlady in the series, and Sylvester, the Psycho Cat, can solve puzzling who-done-its. The first three books in the series are: CATastrophic Connections, FURtive Investigation, and Nine LiFelines. Ms. Brown’s stories and books have won awards from Kansas and Oklahoma writers’ associations and have earned Indie book awards. Beside the mystery series and short works in local and national publications, her work is also featured in Cozy Food, a book of recipes by cozy mystery writers, Murder, U.S.A., a free anthology of opening chapters from mystery books, and Noir at the Salad Bar: Culinary Tales with Bite, a compilation of foodie short stories written by mystery authors.
