About Mathiya from Denver, Colorado! I am the author of The Hot Dog Detective series. As a consultant and corporate trainer, I've traveled and lived in California, Texas, New Jersey, India, the Philippines, Mexico, and Scotland, and too many other places to name. After having circled the globe numerous times, I've settled down in the Denver. Just as Denver is the gateway to the Rockies, I intend that The Hot Dog Detective stories will take place all over the Front Range and throughout Colorado.

A very different and exciting series. Very enjoyable and well-thought-out mysteries. With the action, plots, locales and cast of characters, these would make a terrific TV Series or movies. I can recommend all of them. I am glad there are a couple dozen to read. We don't need remakes and remakes of the same movies or movie number "16" with the same name and a new number after it. Movie producers and writers look right here!!!
