Attorney Turned Pet Sitter?
Linda O. Johnston is an LA real estate attorney , but she doesn't write about an LA real estate attorney. Nope - she writes about an LA litigator! However, “Kendra Ballantyne” moonlights as a pet sitter – and, apparently, that’s a much more interesting job. Kendra keeps stumbling across bodies. Fortunately, not bodies of pets.
Linda’s fifth book in the series is The Fright of the Iguana, which was released just this week.
Los Angeles attorney and part-time pet-sitter Kendra Ballantyne has a lot more time to tend to animals now that she’s determined to stay out of the perfectly toned arms of superhunky investigator Jeff Hubbard. But all too soon, her time is tied up chasing a truly nasty pet-napper.
Kendra’s nightmare starts when she makes an early stop at the home of an überwealthy film producer to check on his beloved pup and iguana--only to find them missing and a ransom note on the iguana’s cage. Through her Southern California pet-sitting club, she learns that other four-legged clients have been snatched, too. Then a fellow pet-sitter turns up bludgeoned to death. Kendra has her suspicions, but it soon appears she’s barking up the wrong tree. And it becomes clear that she’ll need nine lives to escape this cold-blooded killer who’s friend to neither man nor beast...
Linda is a prolific writer, and has also published in the romance, and romantic suspense genres. For those of you out there who are thinking you’d like to see your name on a book cover someday, she offers some advice.
