Deadly Duo Mysteries

Our mysteries are set on the Oregon Coast (the Devil’s Harbor series from Krill Press), New York’s Catskill Mountains (Hemlock Lake from Five Star), Portland (the two-book Paladin series), and New Mexico (the three-book Casey Brandt series). We fictionalize about the places we’ve lived and worked in our careers in TV and radio.

We write individually and as a team—an undertaking that ranks right up there with roller skating on a calving glacier during a moderate earthquake. In fact, right now, thanks to Krill Press, we’re at work on book three of the Devil’s Harbor series.

Click on the cover of book two, Sometimes a Great Commotion, to find out why residents of the quirky Oregon town of Devil’s Harbor must make every flush count, who has hired a professional tree-sitter and why, and how the image scorched into a breaded crab cake is about to create chaos. It’s bedlam by the bay, chaos on the coast, another dustup in Devil’s Harbor, and another opportunity for reporter Molly Donovan to figure out whodunit.

The third book, involving a reality TV show, should emerge next fall. In between breaks, snacks, sleep, and our day jobs (in this economy you need more than one, right?), we’re writing as fast as we can.
