  • Spam Vs. the Vampire

    Elizabeth Ann Scarborough

    eBook (, April 19, 2011)
    Spam and the other cats at website designer Darcy Dupres’ house are frantic with worry. Darcy walked out the door two (missed) wet meals ago and didn’t return or send anyone else to look after her beloved furry friends. The other cats think that she has abandoned them, but her office cat and (unbeknownst to her) protégé, Spam, suspects darker forces are at work. Darcy’s last project was helping a suspicious character who called himself Marcel de Montreal with a dating website for vampires and the women who dig them. Darcy thought Marcel was playing and besides, he paid her a lot of kitty litter to design the site. But before she can finish, the self-proclaimed vampire announces that he is coming to visit, and Darcy disappears. That and the–duh–black billowy figure with the white face and red eyes peering through the window seem like a dead giveaway to Spam.Using the computer knowledge he learned at his human’s side, Spam escapes to the world beyond his home to find Darcy and save his family. When the other cats are rounded up and hauled to the shelter, Spam’s only allies seem to be a hungry raccoon, some friendly deer, observant otters and the fact that Marcel happens to be allergic to cats.
  • Spam, the Spooks, and the UPS Bandit

    Elizabeth Ann Scarborough

    language (, Dec. 4, 2016)
    Here Comes Spam-ta-Claws: Spam's second Christmas hisses with spectres, saurans, Santa, stealing, seniors and sappy seasonal sentiment in a short story to sneak onto someone's e-reader fur Christmas or Hanukkah or President's Day for that matter. Spam's half brother Matt lives under the dumpster outside the "old people's house" where he is fed by a kind resident named Hilda. This year, Hilda is even more spirited than she usually is since she and the other residents and staff are being haunted by a collection of spirits, including what seem to be the ghosts of dinosaurs. Then there's the new resident at the far end of the corridor, a bearded and dejected fellow visited by Spam's vampire lawman friend, Maddog. Who is he, where is he from, and why is he so interested in the deer? Meanwhile, the UPS Bandit, a certain raccoon of Spam's acquaintance, continues stealing packages of stuff he doesn't even want from peoples' porches. Spam doesn't know what to do about Renfrew's coonish kleptomania. Although Renfrew is his chief assistant detective, he can't take him anywhere! Before these puzzles spoil the holiday for everyone, Spam and his friends must exorcise the spirits haunting the humans and once more make the facility a safe place for the terrified residents and for cats to go get handouts!
  • The Tour Bus of Doom, Spam and the Zombie Apocalyps-o

    Elizabeth Ann Scarborough

    language (, Sept. 26, 2012)
    THE TOUR BUS OF DOOM (SPAM THE CAT AND THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPS-O)ByElizabeth Ann Scarborough with K.B. DundeeThe Tour Bus of Doom rolls into a small coastal town, spewing zombies to rampage down the main street, where to the beat of eerie drum music, they loot, kidnap, and zombie-fy innocent citizens. Spam the cat, self-appointed feline defender of the town, watches in horror from the rooftops. When the zombies abduct Spam's jeweler friend and take over the nursing home, Spam is certain they are also responsible for the disappearance of his next-door neighbor Mr. Barker, partner of retired police dog, Officer Bubba. Then Marigold, Spam's half sister, reports that her human family, who went missing while on a mission of mercy to earthquake ravaged Haiti, has finally returned home, just long enough to take their valuables. And They. Don't. Even. Recognize. Her.All of that is dire enough, but then the zombies go too far and take over the bodies of the owner and server at Spam's favorite fish'n'chips place. Searching for help from his vampire friend Maddog, Spam meets a new cat in town, the sinuous Havana Brown Erzullie, who arrived with the zombies. Aided (sort of) by her, Renfrew the raccoon, the urban deer cat taxi service, Rocky the vampcat, and his half-siblings Marigold and Mat, he must investigate, before the zombie apocalyps-o destroys not only his town, but his home and his beloved Darcy.Just when he thinks he may have the situation well in paw, the zombie hunters from Seattle arrive, responding to a bounty on the heads of the zombies. What they don't realize is that they have the wrong brand of zombies, the un-plagued un-dead, who could revive as long as they keep their heads.Kerry Greenwood,Australian best-selling author of the Phryne Fisher series, says, "as usual, a wonderful Scarborough, vintage, witty, clever,profound,touching, vivid - you know."
