The Oyster Cove Guesthouse (Cat Cozy Mystery Series)
A Letter from Leighann
Hi! I hope you enjoyed
I’ve always thought it would be great fun to be able to talk to ghosts, so I love to sprinkle them into my books. In my cozy little world, ghosts are never evil and always helpful. Cats too, though I know in real life cats are rarely helpful and always mischievous!
All best,
Lee
