Today, I am blogging about Mutt Mysteries and my protagonist Catt Ramsey.
The Mutt
Mysteries began a few years ago when four authors Jayne Ormerod, Heather
Weidner, Rosemary Shomaker, and I met to discuss writing a dog themed series with
four novellas. Since this group has been in several anthologies together over
the years, we knew we had what it took to write a fun series. Plus, each author
had dogs and loved animals!
We began with To
Fetch a Thief, book one in the series which featured “Four Fun Tails of
Theft and Murder.” This was a great beginning as we promoted the book, did book
signings, and introduced our readers to mutts and mysteries, a winning
combination. Plus, we donated some book proceeds to animal organizations. It’s
also where I introduced Catt Ramsey, Owner of the Woof-Pack Dog Walkers and her
pups Cagney and Lacey who helped Catt solve crimes and right wrongs.
To Fetch a
Scoundrel,
book two in the series included “Four Fun Tails of Scandal and Murder.” This
was fun continuing to write about Catt and her pups and watching they grow in
the series. As a dog walker, I put Catt in various situations, stumbling upon
crimes and murder while Cagney and Lacey sniffed out clues to unleash killers.
The third
installment in the Mutt Mysteries series, To Fetch a Villain, “Four Fun
Tails of Miscreants and Murder” now included author Maria Hudgins. And once
again, Catt and pups Cagney and Lacey were back on the case to prove man’s best
friend can be crime’s worst enemy.
And now we come
to book four in the series that I am currently writing. As I think about all
the situations, I’ve put Catt and pups Cagney and Lacey in, I’ve learned just
how much I love writing these characters, dogs included. I hope my readers have
enjoyed them as well. And in book four, they continue to solve crime and grow
in more ways than you know!
