I love murder mysteries, dogs, and food. I have two Human Canine Cookbooks published now, but would like to try my hand at writing a cozy mystery incorporating murder, dogs & food. I have an idea and thought I would put it out there and see if anyone thought it an interesting concept. Also would love to hear about first time fictional authors using animals as the protagonist co protagonist. Lyla, Dammit, the Curious Detection Dog Lyla, a sweet, yet oddly curious canine watches the residents of Silver Creek Estates. She can open gates, doors, windows, and she climbs trees. She makes the perfect detection partner to the nosy personal chef that lives next door. Together they solved the murder of the HOA President.
