So when we discover their vet dead at the animal hospital with proof that she knows more about the kittens than she should, I do the unthinkable. I steal evidence. I can’t let that proof get into the wrong hands.
But the killer knows what I have, and they want it. I don’t know who to trust, but one thing is certain.

And she knows she’s in deep when a dead man is found on the shop’s back step, apparently killed while trying to break in.

All Jen wanted was a tattoo apprenticeship.
The only artist willing to take her on, Lilith Sharpe, owns Graphomancy, a tattoo parlor in the worst neighborhood of Conflict, Oregon. And there are drawbacks. A contract signed in blood (what?) states Jen will work for free (come again?). On the positive, Lilith offers the apartment upstairs gratis. Of course, the building is haunted (oh, come on!), and she’ll have to share it with a creepy hairless cat.
While judging a photo contest, Lilith chooses an entry with horror hidden in plain sight—half-buried human remains. Jen quickly learns that Lilith’s first passion is not tattooing but solving murders. More terrifying, Graphomancy is more than just a cool shop name. It is what the shop offers—black magic.
Bones in the photo lead to a mother missing for two years. The picture was submitted to the contest by her daughter, who received the image as a text. But why would anyone want a dedicated community booster and volunteer dead? Was it a stranger, a member of the victim’s extended and blended family, or worse, a serial killer with a history of dumping his bodies in the area? As Lilith employs her dark art to pick up the trail, Jen fears that the investigation will prove lethal to them both.

Book 1 of 7: The Detective Whiskers Cozy Mystery Series
A woman, her cat, and a murder.
Who will crack the case?
Sheila and her amateur sleuth friends or Whiskers and his animal friends?
“Chris Abernathy has created a fun world full of mysteries, margaritas, and meows. I want to live in Paradise Cove!”
Paradise Cove is, well, paradise. Pretty cottages line the quiet beach where waves wash gently onto sugar-white sand. Sunsets paint the sky each evening and gentle sea breezes blow across the dunes into the quaint downtown.
Whiskers wears a shiny police badge on his pet collar, and he earned it, but when he tries to tell humans what he’s uncovered in his investigations they think he wants food or a belly rub. Which, of course, he does. But he also needs to catch the killer who is trying to frame Sheila. Fortunately, he can communicate with other animals including a hippie cat that lives on the beach, a great blue heron, and the town’s K-9 officer.
Sheila certainly wasn’t planning to form the Paradise Cove Murder Society. It is fun, though, sleuthing with her new friends and sipping margaritas on the deck watching sunsets.
The Detective Whiskers Cat Cozy Mystery Series is full of funny and clean stories about starting over, rediscovering yourself, and enjoying lots of laughs, belly rubs, and margaritas along the way. The quirky characters (humans and animals) and small town charm create the perfect balance of exciting, heartwarming, and relaxing. Available in eBook and paperback.
