An Interview with Shari Randall
Please welcome Teresa Inge to Writers Who Kill!
Teresa, along with Jayne Ormerod, Heather Weidner, and Rosie Shoemaker has put together a fun pet-themed anthology, To Fetch a Thief. These four "tails" of theft and murder are just the beginning of the future Mutt Mysteries series.
What a great idea for an anthology! How did the book come about? The four of us met over a glass of wine in Williamsburg Winery to discuss our next project. We came up with the idea to write a “dogvella” which quickly turned into dog mysteries. From there came the Mutt Mysteries series.
How did the four of you meet? We met through Sisters in Crime. Heather and Rosie are members of the Central Virginia chapter in Richmond and Jayne and I are members of the Mysteries by the Sea chapter in Chesapeake, Va.
Please give us a teaser for your story. Catt Ramsey, owner of the Woof-Pack dog walkers is recruited to recover a stolen necklace. But when she and her pups Cagney and Lacey go looking, they find much more than they bargained for...
I'm assuming that you all are pet lovers. Please tell us about your pets. We all have pets and support animals. Jayne’s dogs are rescues Tiller and Scout. Heather’s dogs are Jack Russell Terriers Disney and Riley. My dogs are Luke and Lena, mixed shepherd breeds and also named after my husband’s grandparents. And Rosie has a family dog named Current.
How long have you been writing? I started writing poetry when I was young then wrote professional business articles and combined my love of reading mysteries with writing mysteries.
Teresa Inge grew up in North Carolina reading Nancy Drew mysteries. Today, she doesn’t carry a rod like her idol, but she hot rods. She assists two busy executives and is president of the Sisters in Crime Mysteries by the Sea Chapter. Teresa is the author of “Shopping for Murder,” and “Guide to Murder” in Virginia is for Mysteries, “Fishing for Murder” in the FishNets anthology, and has coordinated other anthologies.
