Dear Reader:

Do you believe in magic? Many people would say no, and yet they still cross their fingers for luck and make a wish when they blow out the candles on a birthday cake. We may not believe in magic, but we like to believe it could exist.

What if it did? What would you do if magic touched your life?

Kathleen Paulson is a practical person, not the type of woman to believe in magic. She has two cats—Owen, a gray and white tabby, and Hercules, a tuxedo cat. The magic begins when the two tiny kittens follow her, after she discovers them at Wisteria Hill, an abandoned estate just outside the small town of Mayville Heights, Minnesota.

Kathleen has just arrived from Boston, to supervise the renovation of the town’s library in time for the building’s centennial. Thanks to the cats, she makes friends, and instead of coming home to an empty house, she has two furry companions waiting for her.

But that’s not all Owen and Hercules bring into Kathleen’s life. Soon she’s tied up in the murder of a world-famous conductor and it seems as though Owen and Hercules are trying to help her. The boys have some unique abilities. Magical abilities. Kathleen quickly realizes this is not the kind of thing she can share with anyone. At the same time that she’s trying to uncover the conductor’s secret past, she’s struggling to keep her own secrets.

What happens? I hope you’ll read Curiosity Thrilled the Cat to find out.
