Seattle Firefighters Train Hard!

My book An Inner Fire revolves around a Fire Investigator a member of the Seattle Fire Department.

Here is part of the training for Seattle Firefighters: The Hose Drag Exercise: Attach 50 feet of rope to a duffel bag to which weight has been added. Tires or cement blocks can also be used for resistance. Choose an initial resistance that enables you to perform 8 to 10 repetitions. Progressively increase the resistance to 60 to 80 pounds. Place the rope over your shoulder and drag the resistance a distance of 75 feet. (You should run during this phase of the event.) Immediately drop to one knee and steadily and briskly pull the rope hand-over-hand to bring the resistance into your body.

Black Sheep Trimmed Like a Prize Winning Poodle?

My character Mitzi used to look like this until Fire Investigator Ewan Davis adopted her. Now Mitzi Poodle is solving arson crimes with Davis & her acupuncturist Grayce Walters.

Read about them in Jacki Delecki’s AN INNER FIRE – Releases November 14!

"An Inner Fire" Main Characters - Meet Mitzi!

Mitzi is a Standard Black Poodle who lives with her human, Ewan Davis.  Davis is a hot firefighter/Fire Investigator who doesn’t have the time or inclination to take Mitzi for endless grooming sessions.  Mitzi is relieved and doesn’t miss the “pampered poodle” lifestyle that Ewan’s ex-girlfriend used to make her endure.  This Standard Poodle is perfectly happy to stay far away from grooming salons, nail polish and rhinestone collars!  Mitzi is much more interested in solving mysteries and providing a little personal security for the humans in her life.
