Anne Shillolo
I love writing every day and the result so far is three mystery series, and counting. I’ve been retired from teaching for a couple of years, and am totally immersed in my new career as a mystery writer. I hope you enjoy the results!
The Murder In Season trilogy features injured detective constable Claire Beckett.
The longer Poodle Versus… series is a reader favorite. It features small-town action, zany characters, and a Nasty Small Poodle who will capture your heart.
This year I plan to release several books following DC Holly Towns, starting with Goodbye Port Alma.
The Free Prequels to all my series are available on my website, AnneShillolo.com.
You can find me on Facebook as Anne Shillolo Writer.
Happy reading!

Harper Burton
Small-town secrets, quirky characters, and slow-simmered plots and an Akita under the table, judging everything.
Buy books on Amazon
Harper Burton writes the kind of cozy mystery where the dog has opinions, the alibi never holds, and the pie is always homemade—sometimes with poison.
After twenty years in emergency management handling real-world emergencies (and enough paperwork to qualify as a natural disaster), she now sticks to fictional crises—ideally involving tea, a dog, and a suspiciously well-timed power outage.
She lives in the Carolinas with her husband, a rotating crew of grandkids, and an Akita who—unlike Hatchi—would absolutely leave her at the train station for a hot dog.
Murder at Buttermilk Cafe is her first cozy mystery and the debut of the Windmer -
