THE AUTHORS

 The five authors of the four books in the Mutt Mysteries series have a few things in common...we are all women from Virginia who share a love of writing cozy mysteries, and an even greater love of dogs. But other than that, we each have our own "story" to tell...

 

MARIA HUDGINS is a mystery writer from coastal Virginia and a lover of animals. She writes the Dotsy Lamb Travel Mysteries and the Lacy Glass Archaeology Mysteries. Her short stories appear in such publications as Virginia is for Mysteries, 50 Shades of Cabernet, Murder by the Glass, and Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine. The two dogs, Trey and Kim, featured in this story are based on Hudgins’s beloved Bichons, Holly and Hamilton, now gone but never forgotten.
