Mystery, Murder and Sheepdog Trials: Away to Me with Patricia McConnell

I’m thrilled to welcome Patricia McConnell to the podcast. While she’s world-renowned for her work in animal behavior, today we’re talking about her debut mystery, Away to Me. We dive into sheepdog trials, memorable human and animal characters, and how her past as an animal behaviorist shapes the story. Patricia also shares the inspiration behind Maddie McGowan, her connection with Cat Warren (author of What the Dog Knows), and why dog lovers can read with confidence—no dogs are harmed. This one is a treat for mystery fans and dog lovers alike.

What happens when Comic Con turns into a crime scene… and the only one willing to chase down a killer in a galaxy far, far away is a nun with grit?

Today on On the Air with Florenza, I’m joined by Melissa Westemeier, author of A Fatal Habit, the latest installment in the Nun the Wiser Mysteries. Sister Bernadette Ohlson expected a relaxing getaway—but when her best friend is found poisoned in a hotel parking garage by someone hiding in a Star Wars costume, the cosplay chaos turns deadly.

With suspects in masks, danger knocking at her hotel room door, and clues buried beneath lightsabers and latex, Sister Bernie proves that faith and fearlessness make a powerful investigative duo.

If you love amateur sleuths, nerd-culture twists, and murder mysteries with heart, humor, and high stakes—you do not want to miss this conversation.

🎙️ On the Air with Florenza

Guest: Janet Kintner | A Judge’s Tale: A Trailblazer Fights for Her Place on the Bench

Before women had a seat at the table, Janet Kintner built one—and dared the world to pull it away.

In A Judge’s Tale: A Trailblazer Fights for Her Place on the Bench, Janet recounts her rise from a traumatic childhood and early sexual assault to becoming one of the first female judges in San Diego—at a time when she was told, point blank, “We will not hire a woman lawyer.”

In this episode, Janet sits down with Florenza to talk about:

• What it meant to fight a male-dominated system while pregnant

• The emotional cost of standing alone

• Why justice must include everyone

• And how purpose can grow from pain

As she faced two male challengers in a brutal judicial election, Janet carried not just a campaign—but a legacy for every woman who would follow.

This is not just a courtroom story.

It’s a movement in human form.
