While each title in the Remy Lane Mysteries series can certainly be read as a standalone novel, the characters' growth from book to book will be more strongly felt if you start from the beginning. Lead characters face their own dilemmas leading to personal growth across time. I try to write so that new readers can hop in at any point and enjoy the story. To that end, major events that take place in earlier works will be covered in those that follow if they need to be. The story itself is constantly moving forward, so while it might be helpful to join the detectives at the start of their investigations, it is not necessary.
The ideas are endless and developing characters is incredibly entertaining for me as a writer. Personalities and plots grow more fascinating and complex as time goes by. So far I've completed rewrites on three titles, with another story in the revision process, and a fresh idea bouncing around my brain:
The Stars Prevail The Tide Turns The Sheltering Stones The Nighthawk's Nemesis
Not yet, but one is in the works! In the meantime, be sure to check back at this website for all sorts of promotional news.
I have dedicated Facebook, Twitter, and Goodreads accounts ready for launch closer to the series' publication. In the meantime, be sure to visit this site's blog!
Barrington Bay is fictitious, but it is heavily influenced by the many harbor villages dotting the English coast. The story is set around Carlisle and the Lake District of Cumbria, the latter of which is a stunning, mountainous destination. The Solway Firth is real, as are the Isle of Whithorn and the Isle of Man. Basically, places mentioned as being 'outside' the immediate area of Barrington Bay itself are real places that you can visit while the village itself exists only in the series and in our hearts.
