Praise

“The launch of an intriguing female detective series.” - Kirkus Reviews

“Clearly author Lisa Brunette has a genuine flair for deftly crafting a superbly entertaining mystery/suspense thriller.” - Midwest Book Review

“This might possibly be a ‘great book.’” - Sharon E. Leighton, a reader in Canada, on Cat in the Flock

“Lisa Brunette’s Framed and Burning is a brilliant, suspenseful whodunit…” - Anthony Award-winning writer of the Inspector Chen series, Qui Xiaolong

“The plot runs deep, and the characters are both quirky and interesting. This is a total whodunit mystery that will keep you on edge until the very end!” - Sage Adderley, on Bound to the Truth


For readers who enjoy strong female leads, quirky, well-developed characters, and a dash of dating drama with their mystery. Fans of J.A. Jance, Mary Daheim, and Jayne Ann Krentz will love Cat and “Amazing” Grace!

Press

"I have read the second and third books in the Dreamslippers’s series so I was excited to review the first book to see how it all started. I love Granny Grace and Cat. They are a couple of strong but realistic women. I love how they step up and help those that need it. But they are flawed like any real person. All you can do is the best you can." - J Bronder Reviews posted reviews of all three books, giving them 4 and 5 stars.

"That experience drove me to create a kick-ass grandmother/granddaughter duo based on the real women in my life." - Reeca's Pieces Author Interview

"The word most often used to describe my characters is ‘quirky.’ I love a good oddball in real life and in fiction, and writing about them is incredibly fun." - Interview on Author Lily Iona Mackenzie's Blog

"The biggest thing I learned writing Cat in the Flock was the difference between a mystery story that works for a game and what works for a novel. I’d spent five years teaching developers how to create mystery game stories, and in those, whodunit has to be a more obvious, and you can’t have too many layers of story, or players lose track of it while playing all the puzzles and other interactions. But in a novel, multiple twists and turns are the only play, they are essentially the puzzle readers come to the book to figure out. So you have to hide much more, especially in a whodunit. It’s a delicate balance that I believe I achieved in the second novel, Framed and Burning." - Interview on the Writers and Authors Blog

"I’ve always loved characters in fiction who seem outside the norm, who flout societal convention or go against the grain. In my early years, I was a huge fan of every odd character the comedian Jerry Lewis played, such as Cinderfella or an orderly involved in madcap adventures. Next came Carol Burnett’s memorable character sketches. Even a small walk-on character such as Hee Haw’s Minnie Pearl would thrill me to no end with a single eccentricity: the price tag left dangling from her oversized hats. Give me someone’s crazy Aunt Wilma or eccentric cousin Larry, and I’m instantly entertained. As soon as these characters walk into a scene, they have everyone’s attention; the story in fact begins to turn on their larger-than-life actions." - Quirky Is As Quirky Does, Author-of-the-Month Guest Post on CMash Reads.

"With this experience as my inspiration, I challenged myself to confront the body’s limitations and ways of healing in my writing, within the “Amazing” Grace storyline. So in book three, Bound to the Truth, our master yogi suffers an injury." - The Book-Body Connection: How One Author Integrated Body and Story, Another Guest Post on CMash Reads.

"I’m in the very early stages at this point on this new work, so I don’t yet have a publication date. Since indie-publishing the Dreamslippers Series over the last two years, I’ve had interest in my work from both Hollywood producers and literary agents. So rather than set a date on this new manuscript, I’ll be exploring traditional options. But first I have to finish it!" - What I'm Working on Next, Guest Post on CMash Reads.

Yogi Detective Series

  • Big Blog Changes That Affect Our Readers!

    But now we're at that flex point where the original blog, Cat in the Flock, can no longer contain Brunette Games. So it's time to split the sites.

  • A Countdown of the Top Posts of 2018 (Which Was Your Favorite?)

    Last week I wrote about my dramatic transition from professor to CEO over the course of 2018, so by now you've got a sense of how epic the year was. But in addition to working on nine different games for six different clients, we also managed to bang out a blog post each week. You might be surprised which ones rose to the top. We were! I'm particularly excited to see one of my team members' game reviews rise to the #3 spot, as it shows there's readerly interest in the full range of voices that make up Brunette Games.

  • From Professor to CEO in One Year

    Not many people would give up the chance for a college teaching post, especially after moving clear across the country to take the job. When my husband and I pulled up stakes in Washington in 2017 and set down roots in Missouri, it was with the full intention that I would stay on with Webster University after the one-year "visiting" post ended. But the fit just was not there, for a whole bunch of reasons, and I'm still grieving that realization. At the same time, I had some major successes in the game space that garnered an avalanche of attention. 

  • A Christmas Gift to My Fellow Missourians

    I'm pleased to announce that all three books in the Dreamslippers Series have been inducted into the Indie Missouri program, a collection of books from local indie authors available exclusively on the BiblioBoard Library mobile and web platform.

  • Should You Practice a Set Yoga Sequence, or Free-Form?

    Stephens' biggest argument against set sequences is "the potential strain caused by doing repetitive actions." The example he gives is from the primary series in Ashtanga Vinyasa style, which leads yogis through Chaturanga Dandasana more than 50 times.

  • After 25 Years of Practice, I Sign Up for My First Yoga Teacher Training

    My yoga practice began 25 years ago - with a yoga video tape I played on a VCR at home.

  • Dragon Flower Farm Update: Honeysuckle, You Really Suck

    In its native environment in Asia, I'm sure it makes for a wonderful garden vine. Its dark green, ovate leaves foreground the vanilla cream-to-pale yellow flowers that appear in May. The scent they give off is intoxicating, a heady, thick sweetness you can practically taste. In fact, you can taste it; pull the pistil out and touch its end to your tongue, and it's like a dab of sugar. In fall, the flowers give way to bright red berries.
