"This novel is uplifting and cozy. The sentiments are deep and genuine, there is no cheesy greeting card pathos here. It has an impact on your emotions."

This first novel in the Turning Pages series tells the heartwarming story of Mack and Mavis O'Malley, owners of a small town used bookshop that fosters cats for the local shelter. The O'Malleys take on a 12-year-old apprentice, Kris, who is also being fostered but is having trouble adjusting to life with his new Hindu family. Through his work at the bookshop and a friendship with the O'Malleys and the cats, Kris changes from a shy and sad kid to a confident, happy member of two families. The book is filled with the ins and outs of used bookselling, cat antics, and love.

Shelve Under C captures the real spirit of a used bookstore, but its owners, apprentice, customers and, especially, its cats are the beating heart of this fuzzy beast. The book is full of wonderful characters, a wild storm, a doggy bucking bronco, catnip capers, an almost-deadly chicken salad sandwich, and . . . books! No need to knock -- the door is open. So come on in, grab something to read, and get comfy on the big, red sofa. Be sure to continue the series with The Find of a Lifetime and Bindings.

Jenny Kalahar was born in the state of Washington and she and her four older brothers were raised in Grass Lake, Michigan. She married Patrick, a used and rare bookseller, and they had open bookshops in Michigan and Ohio until moving to live and work in an old Indiana schoolhouse. They now sell books online and Patrick restores and repairs the tattered and torn volumes sent to him from around the country. They are both members of Last Stanza Poetry Association. Jenny is the author of two novels in her Turning Pages series - Shelve Under C: A Tale of Used Books and Cats, and its sequel, The Find of a Lifetime: Another Tale of Used Books and Cats. Both are based on their experiences in Ohio where they fostered cats from the local shelter in their bookshop, finding new homes for more than fifty cats over the years. When not selling books or writing, Jenny avoids doing housework; plays her piano moderately well; reads; walks their terrier, Weegee; pets their cats; plays the bells and xylophone in a community band; and explores dusty flea markets and interesting antique shops.
