RENT
is a full-time mystery writer. In addition to the cake decorating series written under her own name, she writes an embroidery mystery series under the pseudonym Amanda Lee. She lives in southwest Virginia with her husband, two children, two dogs (who are both currently snoring at her feet), and four cats (who are most likely off somewhere plotting to take over the world).
If you’ve read the first book in the cake decorating series,
Murder Takes the Cake,
then you know that Sparrow is based on a real-life cat that came to visit Gayle and had kittens in her backyard. Two of the Trents’ four cats are Sparrow’s remaining kittens.
