About Sebastian Hart
We keep the light on.
I have a complicated relationship with paper. Old ledgers, marginal notes, bindings that crack when you open them the way they were meant to be opened — that is where I start every Fog Harbor case. Not with a body in a alley, but with a record that does not match itself.
I write The Fog Harbor Mysteries because I wanted a coastal town where comfort and honesty could coexist. Fog Harbor is warm, but it is not innocent. Its mysteries are bookish and fair-play: archives, maps, letters, the kind of clue you can trace if you are patient enough to read twice.
Elias Thorne and Chief Silas Kane grew out of that patience — two men who prefer evidence to performance, trust built slowly across twelve closed cases. The romance is real, but it is never louder than the puzzle. Byron the cat approves of this arrangement, mostly.
Each book asks which official story is lying this time. Every case closes. The town remembers. If that sounds like your kind of harbor, start with the blue door — or grab the Welcome File and let Tilly explain the rest.
