Associate Publisher Kathryn Taussig acquired World all language and audio rights to the first three books in a new cosy crime series by Leighann Dobbs. Dobbs is the bestselling author of the Mystic Notch series and is a nine-time USA Today bestselling author.

The new series, set in Maine, USA, stars Josie, a middle-aged woman who impulse-buys a ramshackle seaside B&B, complete with two feisty resident cats. When the hotel’s first guest ends up dead, Josie and her feisty feline companions must solve the murder before another victim is targeted.

Taussig said,

Leighann’s writing is the perfect blend of mystery, wit and cats! I know old and new fans alike are going to love this new series. I can’t wait to work with Leighann, who is such a fabulous writer and has a real feel for her audience. Leighann’s talent combined with Bookouture’s digital reach looks set to be the puuurffeect partnership!

Dobbs said,

I’m thrilled to be working with Bookouture on this series and honored to join their list of authors. Kathryn’s interest in my work has been incredibly flattering and I look forward to working with her to bring this series to life.

Book 1 in the trilogy will be released in Spring 2019, followed by book 2 and 3 later in the year.
