Start with Maddy’s First Case

Hey, I’m Pepper
I write cozy mysteries with twisty plots, quirky small-town characters, and just enough humor to keep things light. I’m a sucker for a good whodunit, as long as the murders stay gentle, the sleuths stay clever, and the ending leaves me smiling.
When I’m not plotting my next crime (fictional, of course), I’m singing in not one but two choirs. I’m convinced it’s excellent training for hitting all the right notes in a plot. My trusty sidekick is Vera, a tiny Maltese I call Little V, who supervises every writing session from my lap and has strong opinions about snack breaks.
My stories follow Maddy McGee, an amateur sleuth who inherits a pie bakery in the small Sierra Nevada town of Pine Hollow and ends up solving murders between batches. Start with Death at the Ravine, and meet the whole town.
I live in Northern California, and I love hearing from readers. Come say hello!
