About the Author

A lifelong animal-lover and cat-fancier, Lori R. Lopez grew up with dogs and cats as members of her family. One was a homeless black-and-white cat found at a park and named Boots after the kitty’s white feet; also the song “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’”. Not that Lori would take the cat for walks, because she learned at an early age you cannot really walk a cat on a leash the way you can walk a dog. There is far too much stopping and starting and grooming and sniffing and curling up, refusing to budge. Another cat you have probably heard of most likely inspired Lori’s fascination for hats . . . in addition to watching I Love Lucy, The Avengers with John Steed and Emma Peel, Westerns, and other Back Then movies or shows in which everyone wore hats. Lori was raised in the Nineteen Sixties and Seventies when hardly anyone wore hats except in the Winter, though she did enter a Mad Hatter sort of contest in her hometown as a child. The only hat she could find to enter was a cardboard astronaut helmet that folded up, and she didn’t even make it herself. It came that way. Still she managed to win a prize and her picture was in the local newspaper sitting next to a friend who won for a more creative headpiece. Getting back to cats, Lori and her sons have adopted ferals and strays for many years. A black-and-white Tuxedo cat named Midnight became the inspiration for the feline in “Unleashed”, and though she passed away in Two Thousand Six, Midnight will live on in a series of misadventures that are not nearly as factual as this account. In real life Midnight was a pussycat — a sedate creature with much dignity and beauty. If her gaggle of kitty pals would be threatened, however, she sprang to their defense. Her brave spirit shines at the heart of “Unleashed”. Other cool cats Lori has known include Rascal and Goofy, Miro and Monkey, Cloudy, Hope and Winter, Fluffybear, Cinder, Jeepers, and Shadow. Perhaps they will cross her pages too.

Editorial Reviews

Fun. Entertaining. Visual. Lori Lopez concocted such an amazing (and incredible) tale it should be a blockbuster. Not reading this is like going to Paris and neglecting Eiffel Tower; you're missing something on your life trip . . . I'd give it 8 stars if I could, because Lori Lopez's style is truly innovative and her multitasking creativity clearly shows in her writing . . . I think that Lori Lopez is one of the most gifted writers in the genre . . .

(T)his was a humorously dark little tale. Told in different points of view from the cat, dog and the detective. it was an interesting read, and certainly made me look at my cats in a whole new light, wondering what they get up to when we are all asleep! I giggled to myself as the cat plotted and ingratiated herself into the Smith family, leaving the devoted dog out in the cold. The detective was brilliant as a bumbling fool, dedicated to his cause no matter the cost.

Loved this tail...I mean tale. A brilliant story told by the dog, the cat and a cop about the serial killer next door. Humor and vivid prose make this an enjoyable story to read. And yes that is how cats think.

Loris' writing style is exceptionally flavour filled, reminiscent of poetry! She is expansive in her using of describing words... often had to stop and look up the words!! how exciting! (A)s a cat owner I will never leave my stinky socks in their bed (my laundry basket!) again, just in case! (A) brilliant book to introduce me to a clever, funny and articulate author! . . . I was not sure if I felt sorry or horrified by the poor pusscat!!
