Every writer has his muse...even Edgar Allan Poe.
It's true that the Master of Macabre owned (or was owned by) a tortoiseshell cat named Cattarina. But little is known about his feline companion or the circumstances surrounding their introduction. Until now. From her cottage in Fordham, NY, Cattarina tells of her humble birth beneath the Schuylkill Permanent Bridge, her glorious trials as a gutter cat, and a chance meeting with Mr. Poe that changed not one, but two lives.
A prequel to the Cattarina Mysteries, "To the River" provides an irresistible feline take on 1830s Philadelphia and gives fans a glimpse of Cattarina's early life with her "Eddy."
