to my reader, thank you!
Welcome, I’m CJ Reynolds
Here you’ll find mysteries that will make you desire to cuddle on the couch with your cat, a book, and a blanket. Well, as long as you like a bit of mayhem, snarkiness, and murder stirred in as well.
I always say, “Cats, coffee, and murder, what can be better than that?” The answer is nothing. There is a delight in being swept away on a lazy afternoon. So, cuddle up and enjoy an afternoon read.
Announcement!
Gabby wants to know!
In the meantime, I am working on Claws Out!

Caturday Knife Special

“ A fun cozy-ish mystery with a cat cafe, talking cats…and a healthy dose of snark.”
