Two Cats Press has a simple mission: to publish the best books we can find -- books we love and consider to be excellent. Our selection includes award-winning children's and YA novels, as well as a world-renowned instructional guide to the sport of pickleball, an internationally inspired cookbook, a memoir of a bird dog pilot's experience in Vietnam, and an anthology of stories written by Arizona authors. A varied selection, indeed.
      Gale Leach started Two Cats Press in order to publish her own books, but the company grew almost in spite of itself. When good books come along and beg to be published, who can say no?
      Our authors care deeply about their craft and want to share their stories with others who will love the tales as much as they do. Now we offer their stories to you.

The Last Tag    (featuring a new cover!)

A brand-new look for a great book.  

EB Lyner has been lucky so far, considering that neither of his parents wants custody of him. Miraculously, he hasn’t been caught tagging utility boxes or breaking into foreclosed houses in his Phoenix neighborhood. But things are about to change when he decides to trespass and enters a multi-million dollar home in nearby Scottsdale. 

What he doesn’t know is that the remnants of a murder are hidden in this house. Its victim is trapped in time and can only rest if EB agrees to find her killer in the ancient Roman city of Herculaneum, 78 A.D. Haunted by a voice that keeps repeating “Expiscor quisnam iuguolo mihi” (Find out who killed me), EB agrees to let her guide him back in time. His Latin stinks and his detective skills are even worse, but he has nothing to lose; that is of course, if he can solve this murder before Mt. Vesuvius erupts on August 24, 79 A.D. 

With limited time and next to no resources, EB Lyner is left doing the only thing he knows how – tag the city until he gets an answer. But will it be too late? He’s already impersonating the nephew of a wealthy landowner, unaware that the real relative is on his way to Herculaneum; and if that isn’t daunting enough, the murderer is still at large. Time is something EB does not have. His wit, humor and resolve will have to suffice.


KIRKUS REVIEW says:
“The novel moves along at a solid pace and the motivations for the murder are well plotted. EB’s voice is charmingly youthful and acerbic, while also recalling the sharp observations of old film detectives. A smart, entertaining time travel mystery.”

Praise for The Last Tag:
“The characters are well developed and the suspense keeps you turning the pages. The novel is perfectly suited for young adult readers, but even as an adult, it is an entertaining, quick read."
   
“This is a delightful story written towards teenagers but just as enjoyable for adults. I couldn't put it down. I got so engrossed in finding out what was going to happen to EB, a time traveler, a modern skateboarding boy who is asked by a Roman girl in the year 78 AD to find out who killed her and why. The author also includes interesting social and cultural information woven into the story. I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves a mystery."

“The action never stops, I had a hard time putting this one down! I was pulled through a time portal right along with EB! I learned a lot about the time period and culture too. I highly recommend for any age, very engaging."

"I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The storyline was good, imaginative and unique."
