One of my favorite things on the Internet is to visit author websites to see what their up to. One my favorites is Stuart Macbride.
http://www.stuartmacbride.com/en/ He is a Scot who writes police procedurals set in Aberdeen, Scotland (picture to the left). (Maybe I'm partial to him because he sets his books in my home town!) Anyway, he lives there with his wife (She who must be....) and their cat, Grendel. If you haven't seen the movie "Beowulf" or forgotten your English lit course, Grendel is the monster that Beowulf has to fight to save his people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grendel So that you something about his kitty. He loves blog about Grendel and her prey. If you're cat lover you'll love his musing about his feline's behavior.
Other subjects dear to Macbride's heart are his wife's foibles, his writing, and his appearances as an author or people who irrate him.
If are a mystery fan and you haven't tried his books, Cold Granite is his first novel.
