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!

SNEAK PEEK: "Sandy Paws" by Maria Hudgins

  C HAPTER O NE T he beach rental house called the Osprey’s Nest was full of summer guests and should have been full of laughter and music but it wasn’t. It was dead quiet. In fact, it looked a bit like Gettysburg the day after the battle. In the big central living room people lay on the floor, sprawled across sofas, slouched in leather recliners, and slumped over laptop computers with hands hovering over keyboards. Crumpled paper dotted the floor. Glasses of iced tea and bottles of beer sat forgotten on tables. Flip-flops were scattered randomly around the room, but the people weren’t dead. They were writers. They called themselves the Sand Fiddlers Writers Group and this was the week of their annual retreat. Sophie Perone, author of the popular Mysterious Gourmet books, had volunteered to do all the cooking and on this morning, Sophie had arranged her special cheese straws in tall glass tumblers and placed them all around the room so the writers could snack on them while they we
