In the rainy little town of Elk Ferry, Oregon, Tess Drummond is giving rescue cats a fresh start. Her café offers warm drinks, a welcoming community, and a safe place for animals waiting for the right home.
But a few of the cats seem to know things they shouldn't. Their clues arrive in half-remembered sounds, strange impressions, and the occasional very inconvenient distraction.
Every mystery leads Tess deeper into her community. Every adoption reminds her why she opened the doors in the first place.
Begin with Cups & Catnaps, where Tess opens the café and discovers that certain cats have a remarkable way of sharing clues. Continue with Paws & Proofing for the first full-length mystery.
“A warm cup. An impossible clue. A cat with somewhere better to be.”
WELCOME TO THE SECOND-CHANCE CAT CAFÉ
Beyond the cat café, there's a sanctuary filled with extraordinary animals and everyday problems that ordinary medicine can't solve.
In Rookmarsh, apothecary Tamsin Gower cares for creatures whose needs are as complicated as their magic. A dragon with a peculiar sneeze. Griffins with very particular nesting habits. A unicorn who refuses to be rushed.
Precise potioncraft, curious creatures, and mysteries rooted in the care they deserve.
Cindy Crossland writes feel-good cozy mysteries featuring resourceful heroines, animals with personality, and just enough magic to make you look twice.
Her stories are for readers who love discovering a new fictional town, becoming attached to the recurring cast, and closing a book with a smile.
Her first series, The Second-Chance Cat Café, welcomes readers into a world of rescue cats and unexpected clues. The Apothecary for Mythical Creatures opens the door to a different kind of sanctuary.
