He wasn’t there. I sat huddled, wishing I’d died too, until I remembered.
Cats have nine lives. He’d come back. He’d find me. He wasn’t gone. Not completely. He was off licking his wounds.
Something else I remembered—but not until the next morning when I heard the wake-up call. Officer Rivlin.
“Ah, Jo, what are doing in a doorway? You could have been in a hotel.”
No, I could have been home, firing up my computer, writing the best damn book I ever wrote—from the sensibilities of a homeless bag lady. And it was time. Time to let go of that strange, outsider compunction, and an imaginary cat named Clyde.
About the Author
Norma Huss
Eighty-two year old first-mate to her husband of fifty-six years, Norma Huss has sailed the Chesapeake Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway south to the Florida Keys, as well as north through New York's Erie Canal, and into Canada's canal system both under sail and by cabin cruiser. Visiting bayside towns inspired Norma to place her mystery, Yesterday’s Body, in that area.
This is not the first writing venture for Norma. She has had short mysteries published as well as children's magazine stories and articles. She was seventy-nine when this novel was first published. At nearly eighty-two, she is publishing another mystery, Death of a Hot Chick.
Norma and her husband live in Pennsylvania. She continues to be an inspiration to her five children and eight grandchildren.

Review on Amazon.com
5 out of 5 stars - Hot review for a hot chick!
This who-dunnit will keep you amused and interested all the way through. It has
a paranormal touch, as well as a strong, independent and likable heroine who is torn in many directions as she tries to figure things out. If people would just leave her alone, it would be so much easier, but there's her ex-boyfriend, her sister,
her mother, her father, a nosy neighbor...and lots of info about boating that maybe you didn't know. I didn't! All in all—a fun read!
