Maureen Murphy Williams' cat detective series, Mo the Shelter Cat Mysteries, was inspired by the adoption of Morgan, who spent three years in a local shelter awaiting her furr-ever home. Maureen's passion for animal welfare and her love of Oregon wine country are paired to bring a new flavor to the cat mystery genre. Maureen resides in Portland with Morgan and three other rescued cats, Mona, Mac and Murphy, portrayed in Seven Oaks as the domesticated feral family of Commissioner George King.
