  • Episode 23: How to Leash a Thief, Episode 23
    Jul 16 2021

    This week's episode was by far one of the most difficult to record for several reasons. First, I recorded it during a terrible case of bronchitis. LOL, I actually felt like Steely dealing with her asthma. Lucky for y'all, I edited out (most of) my wheezing. The second reason is the scene is intense. It packs a punch, and it contains that moment when all seems doomed for Steely and Cuff. Will they prevail? Can they catch the bad guy? Who is the culprit? And lastly, this episode concludes the first season of the Cat Clayton Mysteries.

    Bringing How to Leash a Thief, book 1 of the Steuthin' in Boots series to The End is bittersweet. For those who've followed along, I applaud you. Thank you so much for listening and sticking with me as I navigated my way in creating my very first "podiobook." Most of the time, I felt like I stumbled my way through the story. But I'm humbled by the wonderful feedback I've received from my listeners. I can't wait to begin season two with How to Kennel a Killer, book 2 of the Sleuthin' in Boots series. Episode one will release on August 1st. Until then, be happy and sleuth on, my friends. <3 http://www.catclayton.com/

     

    Once again, I'm appreciative of the super cool “Acoustic Blues” tune by Dark Horse Music. The swanky, sleuthy vibe fit perfectly with the story.

  • Episode 17: How to Leash a Thief, Episode 17
    Jun 1 2021
    In episode 17, you might notice I've made a few changes to the story. One big change is I've switched the name of the town from Buckleville to Pleasant Hills. As cute as the original town name was, it needed to change in order to coincide with rebranding the series. The slight changes from this episode on will not affect the actual story-telling. Sometimes, authors must make adjustments to their books in order to improve the reader's experience.

    The scene in today's installment is one of my favorites between Steely and Officer Jackson. When Jackson shows Steely his playful side, can she keep her barrier up? Or does her resistance shield come tumbling down? Let's find out!
