The Supernatural Pet
Sitter:
The Magic Thief
by Diane Moat
Genre: YA, Middle Grade
Paranormal Mystery
Every animal can talk to you. You just have to know how to listen.
Pepper
Neely is better at this than most, especially because she is in charge of pet
sitting all the familiars in her neighborhood. A familiar is a pet magically
linked to a witch or warlock. As a gnome, Pepper is no stranger to spells and
sorcery. She also knows that, despite their special name, familiars aren’t all
that different from regular animals. They get anxious when separated from their
people, so Pepper uses her special gnome powers to calm them down. She watches
Cranky the high-strung ferret, Frank the laid-back parrot, King Arthur the
elderly tortoise, and many others.
Then,
something terrible begins happening to the familiars. Someone is stealing their
magic! It not only prevents Pepper from communicating with them but breaks
their magical connection with their people. When King Arthur’s magic is stolen,
his owner’s powers stop working too. Pepper can sense that the tortoise is very
scared.
When did you start writing?
I
have always had a strong imagination but thought you had to be “trained” to be
a writer. Last year I was about to turn 50 when I heard an author speak on how
easy it was to create a cookbook of her favorite family recipes. It struck me
like a bolt of lightning. I couldn’t get the thought of writing a novel out of
my mind. I bought an electronic notebook and wrote a few sentences. Then a
chapter. By the end of the second chapter I was hooked, and I haven’t stopped
since!
Other than writing, what are you passionate about?
Animal
rescue. I volunteer every chance I get, and I currently have six rescues dogs.
Everyone can make a difference in the lives of animals. Adopt, don’t shop. Spay
or neuter your pets. Volunteer. Donate. Spread the word. Every bit helps.
What are some of your pet peeves?
People
who are negative about something new without even trying it. Also, people who
talk on their cellphone while they are walking.
What can we expect from you in the future?
There
will hopefully be more Supernatural Pet Sitter installments. Pepper has been
very busy, and is currently at my house trying to lift a curse off of the
werewolves.
If you knew you'd die tomorrow, how would you spend your last
day?
I’d get a huge mocha coffee
and a gigantic bag of dog treats, then plop myself down in the middle of the
nearest dog park!
Diane is a Tennessee transplant,
