Produktbeschreibung
Cooper James is not into tai chi, tarot or transactional analysis. She's into traveling-or thought she was. On the final leg of an around-the-world trip, she finds herself on the island of Maui and nearly loses what she once thought of as her sanity. Her plans for staying in a cheap motel and lying on the beach are abruptly waylaid when she becomes nanny of three free-spirited kids, the guardian of an Esoteric Cat, and the target of new-age therapists who want to Shift her Energy. This was not what she had in mind for the grand finale of her years of independent travel. Determined to make her own way (it might look a lot like rebellion to the untrained eye), she changes her name to Kat Mandu and opens her own business-The Holistic Advertising Agency. She imparts otherworldly wisdom to her clients based on Coffee-Ground Readings, Uno Card Spreads, and the psychic channelings from the Queen of Cats, Cleopatra. Finally, she has found what she never knew she was looking for: a soapbox on which to stand, a mighty sword to release her from the bonds of mediocrity: Holistic Advertising (HA)-a recently made-up ancient tradition.
Autorenporträt
KAT FITZPATRICK was one of the few American dependents living in Saigon at the end of the Vietnam War, the daughter of a CIA operative who worked in ultra-secret propaganda. Her first experience with writing came when she took a page from her mother's book and corresponded regularly with her father while he was away on assignment. The spell of the writing life never released her and she earned two degrees-a Journalism, B.A. and a Creative Writing, M.F.A-in allegiance to the call. She balances the emotionally challenging work of writing about the Vietnam Era with a not-quite-murder mystery series featuring the accidental-gumshoe Kat Mandu. She lives in Upstate N.Y. where she escapes from her desk on a semi-regular basis by running, hiking, and kayaking. Visit her online at Kat-Fitzpatrick.com.
