Lilian Jackson Braun (June 20, 1913 – June 4, 2011) was an American writer well known for her light-hearted series of The Cat Who... mystery novels. The Cat Who books center on the life of former newspaper reporter, James Qwilleran, and his two Siamese cats, Koko (short for Kao K'o Kung) and Yum Yum, in the fictitious small town of Pickax located in Moose County "400 miles north of everywhere."
