This past weekend was so hot that I am sure I smelled all the pumpkins people had on their front doorsteps baking. The 100+ degree weather was nothing but an oven and everyone now has the front of their houses decorated with pumpkin pies.
The Lucky Cat – Black Cat Vol. 1 – A Salem Massachusetts Mini Mystery
by Lisa Shea
Genre: Literature & Fiction
FREE for a limited time
Kathy Taylor had weathered eight rough years as a black female police officer in Boston – but enough was enough. She turned in her badge, moved up north, and set up shop as a private investigator in historic Salem, Massachusetts. Now she’s surrounded by Wiccans and herbalists, by crystal shops and psychic pizza-deliverymen.
And her first client has just stepped in the door.
The Lucky Cat is the starting point in the Salem Massachusetts Mini Mystery series. These short stories were written and loaded one a day from October 1 through October 31, 2014. You can read them one-by-one if you wish, or, if you prefer, you can read them as a complete boxed set. All author’s proceeds from this series benefit battered women’s shelters.
Lisa has lived in scenic Massachusetts since 1986, with only two brief forays out of state. One of Lisa’s ancestors was Ann Foster, who died during the Salem Witch Trials. Ann Foster was a grandmother by that time and sacrificed herself to protect her daughter and granddaughter. Ann had been born in England, came over in 1635, and was 75 by the time of the trials. Salem reached its dark depths during those trials from 1692-1693 – but since then has healed, blossomed, and now shines. Salem features the amazing Peabody Essex Museum, a plethora of gorgeous historic architecture, and a beautiful coastline. It’s well worth a visit.
If you can’t go in person, enjoy a virtual trip through Lisa’s first-hand descriptions!
