In today's episode, Christmas is going to the dogs... and a few cats!  My guest is cozy mystery author and professional cat rescuer M. R. Dimond. She writes the Black Orchids Enterprises mystery series, and the first two books take place at Christmas time. We chat about her writing process, her time as a cat rescuer, and the joy of writing Christmas books. Then in the second half of the episode, we also talk about her favorite Christmas things! You won't believe what Christmas movie she talks about here.  I also share some dog-related cozy news and recommend some great books that feature Christmas and Dogs. M. R.
