About Fool's Moon:  Two tarot-savvy cats and their tenderhearted human outwit a cruel criminal in this animal-centric whodunit.      Most days, Ruby Sparks feels like the sign that says "Tarot Card Reader Extraordinaire" should say "Tarot Card Reader Fairly Competent." But as challenging as it is to take care of her half-sister's New Age shop—and her growing menagerie of enchanted pets—Ruby never worries that she's bitten off more than she can chew...until a customer wants her to divine the truth about a murder.

When her own life is threatened with a double dose of danger, Ruby begins to wonder if she's being played for a fool. Luckily, she has Ophelia and Brandon—sibling black cats with a talent for tarot—and a feisty pit bull friend who all lend a paw in collaring the culprit before Ruby finds herself taking her final cat nap.

Negative self talk is one of the primary blocks to living our most creative lives, but fortunately we can turn our inner critic into an inner cheerleader. Thanks to Jill Badonsky, founder of Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coaching for many of these ideas.

Authors on the Air host welcomes back long time friend and author Mike Faricy to the show.  Mike might just be Minnesota's answer to Tim Dorsey and Carl Hiaasen

About Mike:  

The Dirty Lowdown called Mike Faricy America’s hottest new mystery writer. Robert Carraher referred to him as Minnesota’s Master of the Bizarre. Crime Scene referred to him as the next Carl Hiaasen. Crime Capers said; “Open at your own risk, you won’t put him down.” Under Cover wrote; “This guy is nuts and one hell of a lot of fun.” The Irish Gazette referred to “The laugh a minute story lines of Faricy’s deliciously engaging worlds.”

His Dev Haskell series books are stand alone, they can be read in any order. His Corridor Man series is written under the pseudonym Mick James and should be read in order. Faricy’s novels are filled with the sort of oddballs we’re all curious about, but wisely prefer to keep at a distance. His characters serve not so much as an example as they do a warning to us all. None of them will be saving the world from terrorism, international banking conspiracies or coups to take over the government. Rather, Faricy’s characters inhabit a world just below the surface of polite society.

About the book:    Joe Talbert, Jr. has never once met his namesake. Now out of college, a cub reporter for the Associated Press in Minneapolis, he stumbles across a story describing the murder of a man named Joseph Talbert in a small town in southern Minnesota.  Full of curiosity about whether this man might be his father, Joe is shocked to find that none of the town's residents have much to say about the dead man-other than that his death was long overdue. Joe discovers that the dead man was a loathsome lowlife who cheated his neighbors, threatened his daughter, and squandered his wife's inheritance after she, too, passed away--an inheritance that may now be Joe's.
