Soup, the Supernatural Kitten, is visiting Ascroft, eh? to tell us about Murder at Meadows Lake Clubhouse, the first novel in Soup, the Supernatural Kitten mystery series.

Welcome, Soup. Let’s get started, shall we?

Tell us about the novel that you live inside. Is it part of a series? If so, please tell us about the series too.

Meow! This is Soup, the Supernatural Kitten from Murder at Meadows Lake Clubhouse. I don’t think it’s my place to tell you too much about the book because I want you and your readers to read it. However, I’ll say that it’s the Cat’s Meow. What I mean by that is it’s a purr-fect start to the Soup the Supernatural Kitten cozy mystery series. It has a great cast of characters. Rose, my special person, is a widow who moves to the Meadows Lake Community in South Carolina where she meets me. She also meets two eligible bachelors: the realtor who sold her our house and the sheriff. Although she’s still mourning her dead husband Harvey and her cat Moxie, her mind is taken off them by a murder in the community. I forgot to mention that she’s psychic. We make quite a pair; the psychic and the supernatural kitten. Anyways, that’s all I can really tell you without revealing too much.

Does the writer control what happens in the story or do you get a say too?

I get a lot of say. I’m a talking, supernatural kitten, after all.

How did you evolve as the main character?

I’m not exactly the main character, although I’d love to be known as that. Rose is the main character, but I’m a close second. I’m a supporting character, and I came to be because my author adopted a female ginger kitten her daughter named Soup after they moved to South Carolina. She likes to put her cats in books, but the only cat characteristics of the real Soup that she gave me was my name and my color, of course.

Do you have any other characters you like sharing the story with? If so, why are you partial to them?

As I said, Rose is my person. When you read the book, you’ll find out why. There’s a connection between me and Rose’s husband and cat who passed away. I also like Grant, the realtor. He convinced Rose to buy the house and move to South Carolina. That took some doing, so I give him credit. But it was Rose’s decision with a prompting from the beyond. More on that when you read the book.

What’s the place like where you find yourself in this story?

The setting is a community called Meadows Lake in South Carolina. It’s a nice safe place until Rose moves there, but her arrival didn’t cause the murder. In fact, the person killed is someone who deserved it in my opinion.

Is there anything else you’d like to tell readers about you and the book?

No. Just read it. You can buy it in several places. My author is already starting on the next. Here are the places you can get it.
