  • Cozy Crimes and Clever Canines — Inside Christa Nardi’s Mysteries

    Cozy Crimes and Clever Canines — Inside Christa Nardi’s Mysteries
    Nov 11 2025

    In this week’s episode, I’m joined by cozy author Christa Nardi. She writes multiple fun and charming mystery series including Cold Creek, Sheridan Hendley, Stacie Maroni, and Izzie Di Sante. Drawing on her background as a psychologist, Christa infuses her stories with authentic emotions, believable motivations, and strong female sleuths.

    We discuss her inspiration for creating relatable, resilient heroines, incorporating canine sidekicks into her stories and the joy she finds in writing mysteries that are engaging and suspenseful—without the grit or gore. Of course, we also chat about her dogs, travel adventures, and how life experiences often spark new story ideas.

    Oct 29 2025

    Joining me for the10th book celebration in the FBI K-9 series is Jen Danna who writes as Sara Driscoll. I enjoyed learning more about the story behind Deadly Trade where FBI Special Agent Meg Jennings and her handsome black Lab, Hawk must solve one of their toughest cases yet involving wildlife trafficking.

    On her honeymoon Meg, Hawk and her husband Todd, stumble across a brutal poaching ring. Can Hawk help Meg, Todd and the other investigators find and stop the poachers? Or will the poachers stop them first?

    Based on real life wildlife trafficking along with the threat of a volcano eruption, Deadly Trade is a thrilling read with great K-9 action.
