About the authors:

She blogs at Pens, Paws, and Claws
Jayne Ormerod grew up in a small Ohio town then went on to a small-town Ohio college. Upon earning her degree in accountancy, she became a CIA (that’s not a sexy spy thing, but a Certified Internal Auditor.) She married a naval officer and off they sailed to see the world. After nineteen moves, they, along with their two rescue dogs Tiller and Scout, have settled into a cozy cottage by the sea. Jayne is the author of the Blonds at the Beach Mysteries, The Blond Leading the Blond, and Blond Luck.

Rosemary Shomaker writes about the unexpected in everyday life. She’s the woman you don’t notice in the grocery store or at church but whom you do notice at estate sales and wandering vacant lots. In all these places she’s collecting story ideas. Rosemary writes women’s fiction, paranormal, and mystery short stories, and she’s taking her first steps toward longer fiction, so stay tuned. She’s an urban planner by education, a government policy analyst by trade, and a fiction writer at heart. Rosemary credits Sisters in Crime with developing her craft and applauds the organization’s mission of promoting the ongoing advancement, recognition, and professional development of women crime writers.

This sounds like a fun book, from a terrific group of writers. I look forward to reading it.

Thanks Grace for stopping by!
I love dogs and enjoy anthologies. Looking forward to trying something new. Thanks for featuring this. I’ll try it!
Thanks so much, Janet!
Super Janet. I was lucky to receive an advance copy and really enjoyed it.
New Release Mondays is a great way to advise readers of new-to-the-scene books. Judy Penz Sheluk does us all a service, and I’m jazzed she’s highlighting To Fetch a Thief. My fellow authors and I each wrote a novella with dogs in mind . . . and in our hearts. You may recognize your pet, or your relationship with your pet, in these stories.
I loved the book Rosemary and Heather!
Thanks so much! I love collaborative efforts. Readers get a variety of stories from multiple authors. Plus, it was fun to write about dogs. My Jack Russell Terrier is the model for Darby in “Diggin’ up Dirt.”
I thought so!
Thanks, Judy for letting us visit! This was a fun collaboration.
