The only thing I heard was that the last book in the series was cancelled by the publisher. I don't know why.

Will another publisher pick it up?

I sort of doubt it. There are several discussions about it on the Amazon forums, with people speculating that she didn't actually write the last book published or considered it the end of the series because Polly left/abandoned her cats and the barn burnt down.

It certainly looked like an ending to me.

Those books have always struck me as oddly written. Each and every one of them looks like the author got bored writing it and just suddenly ended it. But that could just be a matter of taste.

We used to rent them as audio books and listen to them in the truck.

She's pretty old by now.....I think she's in her early 90s.

I used to like her books, but one got to be like the others and they got boring. I don't know that I even read 60 Whiskers and I think that was her last one. I'm thinking that the last one of hers that I read might have been Talked Turkey. I had been buying them (paperbacks), but then I stopped and started getting them at the library.

There were a couple of them that I thought ended rather quickly....just too tidied up at the end of the plots.

Polly left her cats?! Just like that? That doesn't sound like Polly at all. Just sayin'. And the apple barn burned down?! Guess I'm off to the library over my lunch break.

Well if she's in her early 90's that explains it!
