The Bread & Barks Cozy Mystery Series
Hi, I'm Lily Roberts! Welcome to Misty Meadows and to my little corner of it, the Bread and Barks Bakery. I've always dreamed of mixing my love for baking with my love for dogs, and now I get to do both every single day with the help of my mischievous (but adorable) dachshunds Casey and Copper--and now Max.
When I'm not whipping up peanut butter pupcakes and banana bread, I somehow find myself in the middle of local mysteries. Between vanishing rescue cats and murder victims, things get messy fast around here. Good thing my pups have noses for more than just doggie treats.
Hi! I'm Casey.
Official Title: Chief of Security (AKA Queen Barks-a-lot)
I take my job very seriously. If someone walks within fifty feet of the bakery, I'm on it. No squirrel, mail carrier, or suspicious shadow gets past me. I may be small, but I've got a big voice and an even bigger heart. I'm Lily's protector, her shadow, her loyal sidekick-especially when treats are involved.
Hey, there! I'm Max
Official Title: Head of Puppy Mischief
I'm new around here, but I'm already a big deal. Everything is exciting-sticks, shoes, squirrels, air! I love zooming through the bakery, sniffing at the smells, and trying to "help" with the baking. (I'm learning that flour is not food. Still not sure why.) Life is one big adventure, and I'm wagging my tail through all of it.
In loving memory of Copper
Forever Title: Very Good Boy and Treasure Digger
Copper crossed the rainbow bridge in 2024 at the age of 18. His spirit lives on in every adventure Lily takes. He was the brave one-first to dig, first to explore, and always up for a mystery. Whether we were hunting for clues or a snack, Copper was there with a wag and a nose in the dirt. He may be gone, but he'll always be part of the pack.
The Hartman and Malone Mystery Series
Hey, I'm Anna Hartman! I am a private investigator with a love for criminology and technology. Growing up, school was a breeze, popularity was widespread, and unexpected mishaps never failed to make me laugh. I'm best friends with the fabulous Claire Bavaro, and my secret retreat is the beach when life gets overwhelming.
When I'm not busy solving crimes, you'll find me either street racing (shh, that's a secret) or surfing. The beach is my favorite retreat.
See me as a loyal and compassionate friend, and you'll get the real Anna. Competitive? Obviously. Saturday mornings? Reserved for sleeping in, and the everyday kicks off with a comforting cup of coffee. That's a glimpse into the world of Anna Hartman.
Hi, I'm Marie Hartman! My journey has been paved with a commitment to justice and making a difference. I was born on the East Coast and share my life with my sister Anna and fiance Eddie.
School days were a riot of laughter, surrounded by a tight-knit crew who appreciated silly jokes as much as I did. Here's a quirky secret – I totally knew about Eddie's ring plan before he popped the question, and I loved every second of it!
Life, to me, is a dance of passion and resilience. The legal realm is my playground, where I brandish my law degree like a superhero cape.
Tea in hand, I'm on a quest to be seen as intelligent, strong, and unyielding in my quest for justice. Join me in this adventure, where justice meets the delightful chaos of life. Cheers to making a positive ripple in this vast sea of existence!
Hey there, I'm Joe Malone, your friendly neighborhood tech whiz with a penchant for adventure and a good mystery. Back in school, I was the guy everyone knew and loved, especially when I was part of the baseball team, though there was that one time I got caught skinny dipping at the school pool – a story for the grandkids, right?
My best bud Derrick Mathers may be chilling in Chicago, but distance can't break our bond. I'm all about respect, integrity, and protecting the ones I hold dear. When I'm not unleashing my tech wizardry, you'll catch me riding waves, whipping up computer programs, and maybe, just maybe, saving the day with my secret weapon – rubber bands. So, grab a Coke, join the adventure, and let's rock this journey together!
Hey, I'm Bryant Malone, an East Coast native with a passion for law and dreams of opening my own firm. My school days were more about books than popularity, and my best friend (and brother) Joe has been my constant. My humor finds its roots in funny moments with friends, and my heart lies in my career and family. Integrity is my favorite trait, and narrow-mindedness in others doesn't sit well with me.
A quick Rubik's cube solver and a mountain climbing enthusiast, I want to be perceived as someone trustworthy. Not much of a competitor, I rely on my intelligence in navigating life. Saturday mornings are all about relaxation and reading the paper. That's the lowdown on Bryant Malone.
