B est In Snow is David Rosenfelt’s twenty-fourth Andy Carpenter novel. How has the author managed to be so proli!c? It helps that he largely writes what he knows – from Andy’s rather unique personality, to a special golden retriever named Tara. Andy’s dog Tara – and the foun- dation named in her honour – are based on Rosenfelt’s own real- life dog and rescue operation. In 2004, Rosenfelt and his wife, Debbie, started the Tara Foundation, an organisation that has rescued nearly four thousand dogs. Over the years, the David Rosenfelt Author of Best In Snow Rosenfelts’ home has become a sanctuary for dogs too old or sickly to be wanted by others – often leading to the couple hous- ing dozens of dogs at any time. A love of dogs isn’t all Rosenfelt has in common with his series lead. ‘Andy is me,’ he says of the cantankerous defence lawyer. ‘He has a warped sense of humour like me. He is independent, sarcastic, and sometimes obnox- iously badgering, and he has no understand- ing of women.’ A full-time author, Rosenfelt has penned two series and several nonfiction titles.
