About Me

I've been writing mysteries for the past 15+ years. I now have two series currently underway: a contemporary series featuring an herbalist who lives in a fictional town called Pecan Springs TX; and a fantasy-historical series set in the English Lake District in the years between 1905-1913, with Beatrix Potter as its protagonist. My husband Bill and I have just concluded our co-authored series of late Victorian/Edwardian mysteries set in England, which we wrote under the pseudonym of Robin Paige. There are a dozen books in that series.
There's more information about all these books (plus a full bio and pictures of my garden and dogs and husband and other things that make life worth living) at www.mysterypartners.com. That's where you can sign up for one of my regular eletters.
