The Inspiration

"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.

First came the author. Then the little dog.  

And then they both discovered THE DOG PARK, and the rest is history!

Blake Mara is the pseudonym of Mara Timon, author of WW2 thrillers, City of Spies and Resistance.

Blake is rep'd by James Wills / Watson, Little and published by Simon & Schuster UK.

Community is one of the most important things, and something that features in Blake's books.

You don't have to be a hound to join Blake's virtual pack. Just sign up for the newsletter or follow her on Social Media, for updates on her books, and well, probably her dachshund.

She'll also do her best to answer any messages pinged her way.
