Books with Animals:

I love the books by Rita Mae Brown. She writes 2 series. The Mrs. Murphy series are co-authored with her cat, Sneaky Pie Brown. (Mrs. Murphy is a cat.) Her second series, with Sister Jane, are about American fox hounds and hunting (the fox is not killed in the American version, only in the British version, and that has changed in recent years). In both series, the animals talk, converse with each other, and have some amazing insights into human behaviors. I started with Hot Spur, that is still my fave! BTW, these are murder mysteries; but not gory.

The books by Susan Conant are also fantastic. Holly Winter lives in Cambridge Mass, is a dog owner and dog lover, comes from a long line of dog folks; and gets involved in the most bizarre mysteries. Who knew dog obedience class could be so tumultuous?

Finally, I love The Warrior series, about feral cats. Although written as an adventure series for teens, they are well written, and so much fun! Author Erin Hunter is actually 3 women who alternate writing the books.

Guess that's it for now.
