PS My moommy just LOVED her books and had awl of them in paperback, n
Charleen from the human (RPCA) group, sent her a hardback, n then mom got
hooked on those books.
The human in the series, James Mackintosh Qwilleran was from Scotland.

I had over 15 of her "Cat Who" books. I really enjoyed them until it
became impossible to read the small print. I used to read a lot until
my eyes started failing. I can enlarge the print on the 'puter, so
that helps. Aint old age grand? MLB

You COULD get a long magnifying glass that is used for reading.
I have bad eyesight myself and I read 'without' my glasses, which I NEED
to get replaced soon.

Sure You don't sound a day over sixty six and that is how old I am LOL,
Besides, age is a state of mind too .
Lillian Jackson Braun was 'about' 93 years old when she wrote her last book
in 2008,IF my math is right, which it usually isn't.

TRYON, NC-- Lilian Jackson Braun Bettinger, a prolific best-selling
author of The Cat Who mystery series for more than 40 years,
died of natural causes at Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills in
Landrum, SC, on June 4, 2011. She was 97 and had lived in Tryon, NC, for
the past 23 years.
Ms. Braun wrote 31 books (two collections of short stories and 29 The
Cat Who books).
Dutton published her first book, The Cat Who Could Read Backwards, in
1966. The New York Times labeled her "the new detective of the year".
Two more followed with critical acclaim (The Cat Who Ate Danish Modern
and The Cat Who Turned On and Off). There was an 18-year hiatus between
the third and fourth books.
The Cat Who novels, considered light, humorous mysteries, have been
translated into 16 languages, distributed worldwide, and sold in the
millions. Her books were standards on the New York Times best seller
list. Beginning in 1990, her books reached the prestigious list for 20
consecutive years.
She wrote all of her books in long hand. They were published with
limited editing. "I don't pay attention to the publishing business. I
just write my kitty-cat stories."
Ms. Braun (who once wrote "A dog has his day, but cats have 365")
retired from writing in 2007 after the publication of The Cat Who Had 60
Whiskers.
Writing was a lifelong passion. "I always wrote, first for fun, then for
an advertising job, then for a newspaper, and then for The Cat Who
readers."
After a short stint as a waitress (lasting less than a week) Ms. Braun
went to work for Detroit department stores, beginning as a copywriter
and ending as the director of public relations. She took time off to
write her first three books and then accepted a position as the "The
Good Living" editor for the Detroit Free Press. She wrote feature
articles on interior design, art and architecture, as well as reviews of
kitchen gadgets and other household products. She remained with The
Detroit Free Press for 30 years.
Lilian Jackson Braun Bettinger was born on June 20, 1913, in
Willimansette, Chicopee Falls, MA. Her father, Charles Jackson, was an
inventor and industrial manufacturing troubleshooter. Her mother, Clara
Ward Jackson, was a homemaker. Her father's work took them to Rhode
Island, Brooklyn, NY, and to Detroit, MI. Ms. Braun lived in Michigan
until retiring to North Carolina.
In 2005 The Polk County Public Library in Columbus, NC, held a Tribute
to Lilian Jackson Braun for her lifetime achievement and community
involvement. It was an evening of song, limericks, readings and
tributes. Ms. Braun served as the honorary writer in residence for the
library as well as honorary chairperson of the 2005 library card sign-up
campaign, where she created the tag line, "A library card is the
beginning of a lifelong adventure."
Ms. Braun was preceded in death by husband, Louis Paul Braun; a sister,
Florence Jackson; and a brother, Lloyd Jackson. She is survived by her
husband of 32 years, Earl Bettinger.
No memorial services will be held. Donations may be made to Hospice
House of the Carolina Foothills, 260 Fairwinds Road, Landrum, SC 29356.
