A close-up of Patricia McConnell.

Patricia McConnell

Patricia McConnell, animal behaviorist, canine trainer, dog lover, and co-host of the former WPR call-in show Calling All Pets has penned her first mystery novel. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Away to Me is centered on a character who, like McConnell, is an animal behaviorist who lives on a farm in Wisconsin and specializes in dogs. The plot thickens with a fatal shooting at a sheepdog trial. (Don’t worry, the dog’s okay.) McConnell will be in conversation with Madison novelist Maggie Ginsberg; in-person seats have all been claimed, but you can view a livestream at crowdcast.io. Read Bill Lueders’ interview with McConnell about the novel here.
