Kendra Ballantyne, Esq.
Petsitter Mysteries
Kendra Ballantyne is a Los Angeles attorney who lives in the hills
overlooking the San Fernando Valley with her Cavalier King Charles
Spaniel, Lexie.
She's my creation. I'm Linda O!
Johnston, a Los Angeles attorney who lives in the hills overlooking the
San Fernando Valley with my husband and two Cavalier King Charles
Spaniels--Sparquie and Lexie. Are the Kendra stories
autobiographical? No! Kendra is definitely not my alter ego.
I'm an inveterate transactional type who loves to write...contracts as
well as fiction. I avoid courtrooms.
Kendra is a high-powered civil litigator.
Or at least she was, till she got into some trouble and her license to
practice law was suspended. Needing a way to earn enough
money for Lexie and her to live on, she has taken up petsitting and
eventually, when her license is reinstated, she begins to practice pet
law.
But before she can resume her lawyering,
some of her petsitting clients begin to turn up dead--in the first
Kendra Ballantyne mystery: Sit, Stay, Slay.
And Kendra begins to wonder whether
losing her law license is the least of her worries. In fact, she’s very
worried about the fact that she’s become a murder magnet. And that keeps
up, even after her law license is restored.
You can read about her adventures in
SIT, STAY, SLAY,
from Berkley Prime Crime, and in
NOTHING TO FEAR BUT FERRETS,
FINE FEATHERED DEATH,
MEOW IS FOR MURDER,
