Hi, there!

11/02/2020: And it starts... 31 More Things to Do in Sleepyside When You're Dead.

10/27/2020:
I added a virtual walk/run challenge to Fun Stuff. You can get in some exercise and combine it with taking a virtual tour of the inspiration for Trixie's hometown. 

10/14/2020: Wow. Long time no see!

I am updating this site, including the email address where I can be reached. I will also be updating the Keeper site & A Simple Kind of Fear.

1. If you are a strict traditionalist, The Mystery of the Mardi Gras Mask is for you. It's as true-to-the-original books as I could get it. It's rated K.

2. The Mystery Off Glen Road - The Musical is safe for everyone, though you do need to approach it with the thought that it's okay to poke gentle fun at the books. It's also rated K.

3. The Cold Lake Murders is a work currently in progress. It is definitely non-traditional and pairings-wise, focuses on Trixie and Regan, though mostly in friendship with hints of something more. It's rated T for content and language.

4. 31 Things to Do in Sleepyside When You're Dead is a PG-13, Dan and Trixie supernatural book-length story. It gives canon only a passing glance when convenient and often indulges in "dark" humor. Ghosts. Witches. Snark. It's here.

5. If you want to go way off the rails, there's A Simple Kind of Fear. It is rated M and you will need to follow the instructions on the main page for obtaining the password. I cannot overstate how important it is to understand that ASKOF is non-traditional, canon-ignoring, soap-operatic craziness. And there's no "hinting" in this one. Trixie and Regan are very much together. Because of this, I gave ASKOF its own website. (Well, that and because ASKOF is and always has been a rather over-the-top production.) ASKOF is a work in progress.

6. The Stand Alones are just what they appear. Random short stories from no particular universe. Because if it wasn't already apparent that I am all over the place in my stories in terms of style and content, I thought I'd throw this in the mix, too.
