A word from the

author: 

“My Cat Carlyle Mysteries fit several literary genres. I consider them murder mysteries imbued with a hint of romance and Oklahoma history. The Elbow and the Invisible People and The Secret of the Dead Albino are Middle Grade readers; rugged kid adventures with a dash of fantasy. Happy Reading,” Betsy
