My black cat noir, The Ninth Life is once more available as an ebook! (You can get it as a hardcover and paperback too)

This surprising whodunit, the first in a trilogy, introduces Care, a young woman alone in the world, and Blackie, the stray who adopts her. Set in a future world, dystopian but recognizable, the pair have different goals: Care wants to survive, and to take care of those she loves. Meanwhile, Blackie – who narrates this mystery – is haunted by a recurring dream that he hopes will provide answers to his questions about who he is and what is meant to do.

“A delight for anyone who relishes cat mysteries” ― Library Journal


“Forget everything you think you know about ‘cat mysteries.’ THE NINTH LIFE is a dark and gritty story of life on the streets, told from the unique point of view of a narrator who sees things humans can’t. Clea Simon has given us a window into a world of constant and surprising dangers, frustrations and almost unbearable tension, and it’s one I won’t soon forget.” — Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of The Fixer and The Oligarch’s Daughter

And if you find yourself falling for Blackie and Care, their adventures continue in As Dark As My Fur and Cross My Path. Find out more here.
