I have been a Dickens fanatic since I read Our Mutual Friend at age fourteen; I also love classic cozy mysteries. A native of Astoria, Oregon, I now live in Portland with my partner of twenty years and our Devon Rex, who bears a strong resemblance to Simon's Miss Tox. In future Dickens Junction mysteries I promise even more juicy and unusual ways for characters to meet their unfortunate ends.

The second Dickens Junction mystery, The Edwin Drood Murders, will be published late summer/early fall 2013.
