MUTT MADNESS featuring "The Fast and the Furriest" by Heather Weidner


“What’s Mutt Madness?” you ask? Why, it’s a party to celebrate the upcoming release of To Fetch a Scoundrel, the 2nd installment in the Mutt Mysteries series. We know, we know…March 3rd is weeks away! And you want to hear more about these four fun “tails” of scandal and murder NOW! So, we’ve designed a series of posts over the next week which will share with you a story summary, and also some insight into where the authors found inspiration for these "tall tails." 

Today’s feature is… 
“THE FAST AND THE FURRIEST” by Heather Weidner
Isn’t there enough action under the lights at the Amelia Race Track without the drama of a love triangle? An altercation leads to murder, and owner Cassidy Green and her Rottweiler Oliver have to uncover clues and find the killer before the bad publicity destroys her business.



Years ago, my dad raced cars. He and my husband love to go to the races, especially the short tracks. I set “The Fast and the Furriest” at a make-believe racetrack in Amelia County. Running a racetrack was the perfect job for Cassidy and her pal, Mr. Oliver (the track’s director of security).

  2. It's fun to see what situations these authors devise for these stories! Heather Weidner's "The Fast and the Furriest" takes you to a small-time racetrack, and you can feel the grit--and the personality--of the track. You can also feel the Cassidy's tension as she tries to keep the track viable!

UNLEASH THE MUTTS featuring "Paws-itively Scandalous" by Jayne Ormerod

The mutts are ready to run free on the beach! If the authors of To Fetch a Scoundrel would only unleash them!   Don’t worry, we will. On March 3 rd . Until then, this series of posts is digging deep into the reason the author set their story in a specific location, followed by the first few pages of the story to give you a taste of things to come! Today’s feature… “PAWSITIVELY SCANDALOUS” by Jayne Ormerod We asked Jayne where her story is set, and why she chose that location: Thanks to my husband’s career as a naval officer, I’ve spent the majority of my adult life living near a significant body of water. There’s something about sandy toes and sea breezes that sooth a troubled soul. As I learned from the many hours spent watching Murder, She Wrote, it’s a delicious juxtaposition when something as ugly as murder occurs in a bucolic coastal setting. Too delicious to ignore. As a result, I often set my stories in charming coastal towns that are a conglomerate of the ma...
