Action Cats Cards

She's just one of many authors, however, that write "Cat Fiction." Below is a profile of Ms. Braun's work as well as some of the best of this feline genre (in alphabetical order):

Lilian Jackson Braun

Lilian Jackson Braun's fun cozy mysteries feature a middle-aged bachelor (Jim Qwilleran) and his two cats, Koko and Yum-Yum. Koko has a special knack for sniffing out crime and the pair also end up in the middle of the action.

Lilian Jackson Braun, now 94 years old, is the author of 29 Cat Who... novels, including her most recent The Cat Who had 60 Whiskers, as well as three short story collections and a cookbook. She penned the first three books in the series between 1966 and 1968 (noted above), but the fad of the day -- true crime and violent mysteries -- didn't leave room for her light-hearted cat cozies. Of course, times change, and in 1986 she was invited by Berkeley Publishing to resume the series -- this time with great success.
