Green As a Garden Hose

Green as a Garden Hose begins: "There were three Diane Marie's in Martinsville. One of them I liked. One of them I hardly knew, and one of them I hated. And now one of them was dead."

In Green as a Garden Hose Biscuit tries rock-climbing, but watches in horror as a woman plunges to her death over a cliffside. The engaging townspeople of Martinsville, Georgia, add extra dimension to this richly-woven tale of suspense, while the diary of the dead woman gives hints of her haunted life, hints that may not be read in time to save the lives of Biscuit and Marmalade.

Blue as Blue Jeans will be published in 2006. Then there’s Indigo, Violet, Red, Gray, Brown, Black, and White.

I am in all of those books.

And, of course, Marmalade is in all of them, purring her little heart out.

Mouse droppings! You do not listen to me.

And she sneezes like that a lot, too.
