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.


We asked Heather where she found inspiration for this story:

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).

    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!

INTERVIEW WITH RICHARD VERLANDER By Rosie Shomaker

The Rest of the World Could Learn a lot  From a Day in Elementary School Rosie: Hello, Richard. You and your wife Kathy have traveled the road from your roles as rural Virginia parents to that of parents of two professional baseball athletes. Your older son Justin plans to continue his MLB career once we reach our “new normal” in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. Your first book, Rocks Across the Pond (2012), is a beautiful, grand book. I say grand because it is large, like a coffee table book. The subtitle says it all: “Lessons Learned. Stories Told.” Dogs seem to be part of those lessons. The Mutt Mysteries authors learned you were authors and dog lovers. You’ve met other RVA writers on your trips to talk to children at schools. It’s through one such author that I connected with you, and we are grateful that you and Kathy wrote the foreword to the newest Mutt Mysteries book, To Fetch a Scoundrel . Your first book gave readers a look at your lives. Your secon...
