The Fog Harbor Mysteries
Step Inside Fog Harbor
Archival small-town cozy mysteries where old records, forgotten margins, and misplaced histories refuse to stay buried. Each book is a complete closed-case mystery with slow-burn emotional tension between a bookish archivist and the town's police chief.
Each book asks: which record is lying this time?
Every case closes. The town remembers.

A blue door, old books, and records that surface before people are ready. The series begins here — and often returns.

Warm pastries, dangerous branding, and gossip that travels quickly. Tilly's counter is where lost things wait to be understood.

Harbor Square
Wet stone, gulls, tide timing, and the kind of fog that makes people careful.
Cliffs
Widow's Point
Sea wind, cliff light, and stories told too neatly.
Cliffs
Old Mariner's Theater
A Victorian mechanical theater on the headland — brass, gears, and histories the town prefers in a single act.
