🐾 Welcome to the home of The Pugs Cozy Mysteries!
🌿 Rustic village. Overgrown secrets. And two pugs who forget to whisper.

🤫 A Cozy Mystery Series Where the Hardest Secret to Keep... is the Dog.

Reginald Thorne knows his pugs, Pudding and Pickles, can talk. In fact, he relies on their sass and wisdom to get through the day. But there are rules.
Rule #1: The special speaking collars (powered by the Peppermint Protocol) can stay ON in the village of Cresswell-on-Wyrd. Rule #2: They take the collars OFF in the sleepy, non-magical village of Whiskerleigh.
The problem? Reg is retired, tired, and a little forgetful.
When he moves to Whiskerleigh to be closer to his daughter, he intends to live a quiet life. But when he forgets to remove the pugs' collars during his daily walks, the villagers start to overhear things they shouldn't. Now, Reg has to solve local puzzles and explain why his dogs have such strong opinions on the prize-winning pumpkins.


Perfect for fans of close calls, eccentric villages, and the panic of realizing your dog just insulted the mayor, The Pugs Cozy Mysteries is a laugh-out-loud cozy adventure without the body count. 🦴💬
🐾 Why You’ll Love This Series
  • A "fish out of water" hero trying to keep one foot in the magical world and one in the mundane
  • The constant, comedic high-wire act of keeping the "speaking collars" a secret
  • Two pugs who are helpful investigators... when they aren't accidentally traumatizing the locals
  • Gentle mysteries where the only thing looser than the clues are the pugs' lips ✨
❤️ Mysteries with a Mission Whiskerleigh isn't just a fictional village dedicated to pets—it's inspired a real-world mission. 5% of the monthly profits from The Pugs Cozy Mysteries series are donated to animal rescues. Because charity begins at home, we are starting with rescues in my hometown of Ottawa, Canada, and working our way out to other cities and countries. When you buy a book, you aren't just solving a mystery; you're helping a real-life pet find their forever home.
