Bippity, Boppity, & Boop

Coming soon from Crooked Lane Books!

Feisty, opinionated, and outlandishly cute kittens Bippity, Boppity, and Boop love their new human, Mila the Magician, and not just because she saved them from starving to death in a back alley. She’s warm, her hands are miraculous, and she gives them lots of love and deliciously stinky food despite the imminent collapse of her stage career and her marriage. 

So when Mila’s philandering husband turns up dead, the kittens decide to help her solve the crime and clear her name. But when her neighbor also turns up dead and Mila is discovered standing over the body, the kittens are powerless to stop the sheriff from hauling her away to the human pound. Now, Bippity, Boppity, and Boop will have to find the real killer and learn to bend the laws of physics without getting caught if they ever want to see their human again.

Set in the fictional New England island town of Corvin’s Crossing (think Cabot Cove from Murder She wrote meets P-town or WeHo), BIPPITY, BOPPITY, & BOOP is a whimsical story with the feel of Chet the Dog (Spencer Quinn) if he were three impetuous kittens who could bend the laws of physics. 

Inspired by #ownvoices mystery authors like Kellye Garrett, G.B. Ralph, and Jesse Q. Sutanto, its gentle LGBTQ+ representation includes a nonbinary kitten who lives for snuggling and a young woman just beginning to see herself for the glorious disaster bi she is becoming.

I couldn't have gotten here without the support of my amazing literary agents, Marisa Corvisiero and Ciara Smith at Corvisiero Literary Agency.
