Ever since I was younger, I have loved writing stories where, in the end, the bad guys always got what they deserved. Injustice was given. Justice was returned.
When fourth grade math teacher and amateur sleuth Code Patterson and Detective Silas Armstrong were created for the cozy mystery series Code & Silas Mysteries, I wanted that to be their intention. And something else was added. Every present case that they were working on had a connection to a cold case. And that, for me, was important.
I wanted to show that no matter when a wrong was committed and justice seemed denied and was taking its time, in the end it showed up.
As it is in real life, we have to keep on fighting and pursuing what is right, based on truth, even when it seems foolish and ridiculous to others.
How far would you go to catch criminals, especially if you’re not a detective or police officer? That’s the question that our mystery unwrappers thirteen-year-old Polly in Polly Parish Mysteries, twelve-year-old Jessica in Jessica, The Adventure Girl, twelve-year-old Abigail Asher in Memory Lane Adventures, forty-year-old Code Patterson in Code & Silas Mysteries, and twelve-year-old Eiffle in The Night Cats answer in their respective stories that are filled with adventure and danger.
