Coming this Halloween will be Kiki Lowenstein's latest adventure--Ink, Red, Dead--a novella that finds Kiki and her friends drawn into the world of a cat hoarder. The book will be available on Kindle.
Why did I decide to write a new adventure for Kiki? The next traditional Kiki mystery--Ready, Scrap, Shoot--won't be out until April, 2012. Fans have clamored for more Kiki, and I had an idea that wouldn't go away. The plot fit neatly between Make, Take, Murder and Ready, Scrap, Shoot.
The Kindle book will include a wonderful recipe for pumpkin cookies and a free gift, A Crafty Kind of Murder, the progressive story that my blog sisters and I wrote.
To help celebrate the new release, I'll be hosting a Halloween party on October 31 from 9 p.m. EST to midnight EST on my new Facebook page. There will be prizes and special guest appearances and surprises galore. Just go to that new page and hit "like," and then visit during the party on October 31. We'll select lucky commenters (I hope my guests and my status updates will inspire comments!) as winners.
You know, Kiki is like an old friend of mine. I always enjoy spending time with her. You, my fans, have told me you want more Kiki. I'm lucky to be able to respond to your request!
Now, I'm curious. You know that each of my Kiki books hits on a social problem or concern. What would you like to see me tackle in an upcoming book?

Anything she tackles is fine with me. I just love her. And I just have to say--what a beautiful cover!
Is Kindle the only format for this novella?
Thanks, Mollie. Can you spot the Zentangles?
Anoymous, we'll have to see. Kindle is tops on the list, and then we'll see if we can get it up on the other platforms.
Yay! I can't wait to read this novella.
I will miss it with my Nook :( Bummer. Missing another Kiki is heart breaking <3
This is great, because April seems a looooooooong time away. I just checked on Amazon, however, and it doesn't show up yet. I'll pre-order as soon as it does, but any idea when that might be?
I have a Nook, so I hope you can get the novella up on that format. I certainly look forward to every Kiki story.
We'll see what we can do with Nook, okay?
Julie, I'm still working on it! I'll let you know when it's up!
Great minds think alike, Joanna! My latest Pet Rescue Mystery, THE MORE THE TERRIER, which just debuted last week, addresses dog hoarding.
Linda, it's obviously a hot topic. I read an article by the daughter of a hoarder in the ASPCA magazine. Did you see that?
Any plans for making this available for the Nook?
I agreed to allow Amazon to have an exclusive for 90 days, plus we haven't figured out how to load things on Nook yet, so it will come out on Nook, but not for a while. Sorry for the inconvenience. You can load a Kindle app on your computer. The app is available at no charge.
