“Double Dog Dare”

As a lawyer and pet-sitter in L.A., Kendra Ballantyne, Esq., has met more than her share of difficult pets... and people.  But when some arrogant cloners cross her path, she meets a whole new breed--one whose perilous business is playing God...p>

It’s been a rough month for Kendra.  Her boyfriend and sidekick, Jeff Hubbard, P.I., has gone missing--right after they decided to move in together.  It sounds like a case of cold feet until they find his car submerged in a canal.  

Kendra's panicked inquiries lead her to Jeff's Aunt Lois, an ex-pole dancer and full-time eccentric who had taken her dog Flisa, a sweet-natured Akita mix, to a company that promised to clone the pup.  But poor Flisa never made it out alive...  And then one of the cloners is murdered.


As Kendra picks up the scent of Jeff’s investigation, she wonders:  Was Jeff kidnapped?  If not, why hasn’t he contacted her?   Is he protecting his revenge-driven aunt?   Or worse...could he be the killer?  Kendra is hounded by questions, and for the first time, she's not sure she wants the answers...

“Sit, Stay, Slay”


Kendra is a high-powered civil litigator.  Or at least she was, till she got into some trouble and her license to practice law was suspended.   

Needing a way to earn enough money for Lexie and her to live on, she has taken up petsitting and eventually, when her license is reinstated, she begins to practice pet law.

But before she can resume her lawyering, some of her petsitting clients begin to turn up dead--in the first Kendra Ballantyne mystery:  Sit, Stay, Slay.

"Meow is for Murder"

Another purr-fect Pet Sitting mystery. 


The last thing pet-sitter Kendra Ballantyne wants is to start a catfight with her boyfriend's ex-wife, Amanda. 

So she agrees to help when Amanda's stalker turns up dead in her home-but only if Amanda will take her claws out of her ex for good.

And Kendra begins to wonder whether losing her law license is the least of her worries.
