The feline who inspired Stormy, the cat in the 9 Lives books, dominated her household for twenty 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 set in Louise's hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia, and elsewhere throughout Canada.
