Three– a Lucky Number?
Underdogs firmly believe the third time’s the charm. So you’ve tried and tried and failed each time. Keep after it and the third time will be the charm.
There are lots of fun facts about threes:
Elbows usually consist of three bones. We all need elbows. Hard to pick up that mug of coffee without one and everyone knows that coffee enhances life.
Earth is the third planet in our solar system. Has to be a good spot, right?
White is a mixture of three primary colors, red, green and blue. Lots of white light makes us happier.
All of this combines to make me confident that three is indeed a lucky number and this fall I hope three shines for me.
The changing face of publishing – experimentation with e-books, a traditional hardcover release, and a reprint - brings three of my books to readers starting in September.

After the death of her fiance in Afghanistan, Nela Farley feels an eerie connection when she looks into the eyes of a cat. She dismisses the thoughts as irrational, her mind’s way of avoiding painful memories, until the night she looks into the eyes of a cat and sees more than is safe to know.
November 13: SKULDUGGERY, Seventh Street Books, reprint of an early suspense novel set in Chinatown. A desperate search for the missing Peking Man bones brings danger, death, and difficult choices for anthropologist Ellen Christie.By the way, clovers have three leaves and that’s enough for me. I hope readers agree.

New: What the Cat Saw!
“Carolyn Hart’s work is both utterly reliable and utterly unpredictable. What the Cat Saw will surprise and engage any mystery reader.”- Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
Berkley Prime Crime Presents
WHAT THE CAT SAW
Since the death of her fiance in Afghanistan, Nela Farley feels an eerie connection when she looks into the eyes of a cat. She convinces herself she is simply avoiding painful memories, but one night she looks into the eyes of a cat and learns more than it is safe for her to know.
When Nela first arrives at a garage apartment in a small town in Oklahoma, she is greeted by a grieving brown tabby. She looks in his eyes and is bewildered by his thoughts: She didn’t see the rolling board on the step.. That night an intruder breaks in, leaving behind wanton destruction. Nela learns that the woman who lived in the apartment had died in a fall down the apartment stairs.
Nela’s flaky sister Chloe is always fun and often in need of a sisterly boost. Nela is a reporter looking for work. She agrees to take Chloe’s place at her job so Chloe and her boyfriend can take advantage of a free trip to Tahiti. The Oklahoma landscape is strange to Nela and she finds even stranger the current of hostility at the workplace, a charitable foundation beset with troubles: Arson of an employee’s car, destruction of Indian artifacts, vandalism in the courtyard, obscene material mailed on the foundation letterhead, and the late revelation of the theft of a quarter million dollar diamond necklace.
The police detective is a smart, tough woman who sees the stranger in town as an accomplice to her sister in a clever scheme to hide a theft. The local newspaper reporter Steve Flynn knows the cop well, respects her, but finds the new woman in town intriguing. Steve is struggling to recover from an unhappy divorce. Nela had hoped to leave sadness behind in California but finds that she is still burdened by grief. An LA girl she is stirred by Steve’s loyalty and love for his hometown – and by Steve.
Nela plunges into an effort to clear her name and her sister’s, but the net draws ever tighter and then the cat warns once again, “. . .danger . . .”
