Still continuing with the authors from my lists… I have two authors who specialize in Mystery Series with a Pet Sitting, Pet Boutique, and Pet Sitting Themes:
Bethany Blake: Lucky Paws Petsitting Mystery Series
Blaize Clement is a psychologist who writes the Dixie Hemingway Mystery Series, which is set in Florida and features a sleuth who gave up her job as a deputy sheriff and now confines her sleuthing to the “cozy type” while she pet-sits as a profession.
The Petsitter Mystery Series is written by a contract lawyer who absolutely loves animals… Linda O. Johnston. Her petsitter happens to also be a lawyer, with a darling little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel by the name of Lexie who brings her much joy. (I’m a little partial to those sweetie-pie dogs… as my mother has one who she absolutely loves.)
Maggie Toussaint writes the Dreamwalker Mystery Series. The sleuth is both a landscaper and a pet sitter.
Now, on to the Mystery Series with a Pet Store Theme. I have one author from my lists who fall in this category:
Sparkle Abbey writes the Pampered Pets Mystery Series, which features two sleuths: one is the owner of the Bow Wow Boutique and the other sleuth is a pet therapist.
Lydia Adamson writes three series, one of which is the Alice Nestleton Mystery Series, which features an actress and occasional cat-sitter.
Barbara Block is also known as Isis Crawford, and vice versa. But, it is as Barbara Block that she writes the Robin Light Mystery Series, which features a pet store owner who has a nose for solving mysteries.
Krista Davis writes the Paws and Claws Mystery Series which is set in Wagtail, Virginis. Holly Miller is an employee of her family owned inn that caters to pets and their people (owners).
Dawn Eastman writes the Family Fortune Mystery Series. The aunt of the main sleuth is a pet psychic Haven in Michigan.
Annie Knox (aka Wendy Lyn Watson) writes the Pet Boutique Mystery Series. Izzy McHale is the owner of the Trendy Tails Pet Boutique.
T.C. LoTempio: Cat Rescue Mystery Series – Sydney McCall returns to Deer Park, North Carolina to help her sister, Kat, run the local animal shelter.
(Can you tell that I love dogs? I refer to them in the “who” not the “that”… I’m the same with cats!)

I finally finished going through all of “my authors” to find their professions and/or interests. Since I have already done a
The site just got a comment from a reader who needs help finding two authors. I am not sure how many site viewers read the comments after some of the blogs… so, just in case, I thought I would try to see if any of you are familiar with the two authors who are being sought.
“I’m glad you found the site, also. I know what you mean about trying to find a series you liked in the past but didn’t annotate… or if you did, your threw the scrap piece of paper away with the series’ details. I am going to write a blog about your mystery series which deals with the interior decorator, and hopefully someone will come up with the specifics… nothing seems to ring a bell for me at this time…
As for the series about the lady minister… I am guessing that the series is by Julia Spencer-Fleming. Her Reverend Clare Fergusson series has the main character working very closely with police chief Russ Van Alstyne. Could this possibly be the series you are thinking about?
Kate Charles writes the Callie Anson Mystery Series. Callie is a newly ordained Anglican Minister in England.
Another possibility would be Cristina Sumners‘ series about an Episcopalian priest named Kathryn Koerney. The police chief in this series is named Tom Holder, and apparently there is a romantic tension between them. I don’t have the series listed on my pages… but Crooked Heart is the first in that particular series.
Hopefully, one of those three series is the one you are looking for…
If any of you have an idea/inkling of who the first author is, please post a comment. As for the second author, I could be missing the boat completely, so if any of you have other suggestions on who that author could be, again, please post a comment. The comment button is just below each particular blog entry, under the faint line…
