Fromage (The adventures of Fromage #1)

Welcome to the adventures of Fromage

Order on Amazon/Kindle, Barnes &Noble, Bookshop, IngramSpark


4.5/5 Stars from IndieReader | Editors Pick from BookLife Reviews by Publishers Weekly


"Written with style, Kathleen Donovan’s FROMAGE introduces an utterly charming new feline heroine and her rodent pal." —Kent Lane for IndieReader


"Her sparkling prose is sprinkled with French phrases and Scots dialect... Adults will smile at the sly historical nods, while young readers will be drawn in by talking animals, fencing lessons, and fantastical escapades." —BookLife Reviews by Publishers Weekly


“Oh no, Fromage, lady cats do not have adventures."


Fromage dreams of following in her family's pawsteps as a shipboard rat-catcher, but her Mama Cat insists that such work is hardly suitable for a proper young lady. Undeterred, Fromage sets off on her own adventure—only to befriend an orphaned Scottish rat named Aloysius, much to her mother’s dismay.


Fortunately, Papa Cat is more understanding. He enlists a spirited young lad named D’Artagnan to train the unlikely pair in the art of sword fighting. Their skills are soon put to the test as they journey to meet the Queen of France, encountering a mischievous mermaid and a band of robbers along the way. It will take all their courage, cleverness, and swordplay to make it through unscathed.


Cover illustrated by the wonderful Rebeckah Gerstner.

Fromage in Scotland (the adventures of Fromage #2)

Available now!

Order on Amazon/Kindle, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop, IngramSpark


In the second enchanting adventure of the Fromage series, our daring feline heroine heads to the misty highlands of Scotland-tail high and paws ready.


Joined by her ever-faithful companion, Aloysius the rat, Fromage sets out on a quest fit for legends: to meet royalty, forge magical friendships, and face the unexpected. From shape-shifters and leprechauns to sea-dwelling secrets, the journey is anything but ordinary.


When a mermaid falls into grave danger, it's up to Fromage and Aloysius to brave the depths, outwit a shark, and rise above the odds.


Adventure, magic, and a touch of feline flair-Fromage is back, and Scotland will never be the same.


Look at that stunning artwork done by the very talented Rebeckah Gerstner! This cover is my favorite to date, I cannot wait to see what she does for the next one.
