About the author
Joanne Blondin wrote stories about her outdoor adventures and wanted to put them in a book. Friends told her that no one would be interested because she was not trekking in the Himalayas or Outer Mongolia.
Then, a truly remarkable cat walked into her condo. That cat became the heroine of Joanne Blondin's first children's book, Matty, Detective Cat. Matty brought in slices of salami instead of mice; didn't move when a large German Shepard dog only a few feet away barked at her; and begged for chicken from her neighbor while he was barbequing. To emphasize how remarkable Matty was, she added some pretend characters: George and Charlie, arson investigators, Taylor, a chemist and Billy, her neighbor's brother-in-law to her story.
