title: Dead Weight: The Orphans of Antwerp Book One (Volume 1)
author:  Kat Faitour 
description: Kat Faitour lives in the upper Midwest of the United States with her stoic husband and two ridiculous cats. Most of her professional career was spent working in healthcare until her last position taking patient complaints nearly sent her over the edge of reason.   After a brief stint studying cuisine, pastry, and wine at Le Cordon Bleu Ottawa, she realized the world was better off if she kept her culinary aspirations to the privacy of her own home. She graduated with a B.A. in Economics from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and promptly decided to write romantic suspense.   When not reading, writing, and herding cats, she can whip up a meancoq au vin. Orapple galette. Just don't expect both at the same time, because she's really not that coordinated.   Keep up with all her antics at http://www.katfaitour.com (and dont miss joining her readers groupshe gives the first book of every series to her subscribers!).   You can email her at kat@katfaitour.com, which she would love because she adores hearing from her readers.   And while you can find her on social media, itll probably be pretty disappointing because shes not very good at it. Except on Instagram where she posts pictures of those two ridiculous cats.
