I write Deep Lakes Cozy Mysteries & Bay Browning Mysteries
Meet Frankie Champagne, owner of Bubble & Bake, a bakery and wine lounge in Deep Lakes, Wisconsin, a cozy tourist town where murder is an occasional visitor. Before Bubble & Bake, Frankie dreamed of being an investigative reporter but the local editor wouldn’t hire her. Somehow, Frankie lands in the middle of crime scenes, and she dives in to investigate, proving she can go toe-to-toe with the pros. Her best friend, Carmen, keeps Frankie grounded, and two mischievous aunties add fun and flavor to the series. The rest of Frankie’s crew gets in on the act, providing humor, plot twists, and often assistance or alibis for the undercover sleuth. Recipes included in every book.
Meet Bay Browning, an English Literature professor at a small Wisconsin college. Bay would rather curl up with a good book by the fireplace than solve crimes, but when a murderer sends her messages and clues to follow, she can’t help herself. Life was simple and quiet before her ex-con grifter sister, Cassandra, landed on her doorstep fresh from prison. Now, Bay’s life just became complicated as she must figure out Cassandra’s secrets, adjust to her sister’s extrasensory powers, and unmask the killer who is targeting her and her family.
