About Blake Mara
"Write about what you know" is common advice for a new writer. And in the Dog Park Detectives, inspiration is so close to home that it walks at heel. (Usually.)
Inspired by her miniature dachshund and local dog park community ("the gift that keeps giving"), Blake's Dog Park Detectives series is out now in paperback, Kindle and audiobook.
