Writing under the pseudonym Faith Walker, and co-authoring this new series with her brother, Jill L. Ferguson, founder of Creating the Freelance Career, has published Paws and Puzzles: Whiskey Dog Mystery #1. The series features dog groomer and owner of Carter's  Canine Coiffure Sarah Carter and her red heeler Australian cattle dog Whiskey, who live in Cottageville, U.S.A. In Paws and Puzzles, Sarah and Whiskey discover that their elderly neighbor Mrs. Jenkins has disappeared and that some people in their town are not who they seem. 

Sarah and her assistant Emily Colt, and the rest of the town, along with the police, piece together clues to determine what happened to Mrs. Janice Jenkins and why in this adorable cozy mystery.

Retired librarian Susan Shaver gave Paws and Puzzles five stars on Reedsy Discovery, writing, "This light, easy read captures the ins and outs of small-town living, the friendliness, the nosiness, and the concern for neighbors and residents experienced in a small, close-knit community. The characters, the relationships, the delicious food, the menagerie of pups, and the mystery of Mrs. Jenkins' absence intertwine at just the right pace to create a fun, entertaining, and enjoyable story."  

Check out Paws and Puzzles: Whiskey Dog Mystery #1 wherever you buy books. And stay tuned for the next book in the series Poodles and Poison, coming out later this year.

Terrestrial Architecture by Jack Oliva-Rendler has released this week in hardback, paperback, and e-book formats. And praise for the book has been flowing like Niagara Falls. Here is a sample of the comments, from people working and teaching within the architecture profession:

"Like a renaissance man, Jack Oliva-Rendler sets out to create an interdisciplinary unifying holistic theory, a possible future or opportunity for designing the planet. The book presents a new paradigm where infrastructure, formal geometries as dynamic formulations of space, data, and ecosystems are intertwined to design the planet in a harmonic way." —Benjamin Pollack

"Terrestrial Architecture is a brilliant journey through speculative infrastructures that harmonize ecological and human systems in visually striking and always unexpected ways. This book opens whole new terrains of algorithmic design for sustainability grounded in complex geospatial and metabolic contexts." —Dr. Stuart Cowan

"With beautiful prose and images, Jack Oliva-Rendler restores a spiritual dimension to architecture that has long been absent from most intellectual field. After reading this book, you will feel more connected to the earth, and to the human projects that both enhance and endanger it." —Graham Harman

Terrestrial Architecture is available everywhere books are sold, such as Amazon.
