Capri Winslow

Hello, Cozy Mystery Friends! I'm Capri Winslow, and I love writing Cozy Mysteries. I love murder mysteries with red herrings, amateur sleuths, and grumpy detectives who don't like amateur sleuths.

I grew up in a small town, so relationships within the community are close to my heart. There will always be humor in my books, and all of my Cozy Mysteries will have a beagle dog involved in the mystery. Beagles have a nose for clues!

I have four beagle dogs who bring me joy! They are such a fun breed.

Writing has been a passion of mine since I was young. When I retired from Nursing, I began writing Cozy Mysteries and reading them to my six beautiful grandkids.

Please enjoy my passion with me and read my Cozy Mysteries. Thank You!

Love and Blessings

Mike Faricy

I was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, I still live there as well as in Dublin, Ireland.

If that doesn't offend you I also play bagpipes with the Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band. All my books stand alone, read them in whatever order you wish. They are filled with the sort of oddballs we are all curious about, but wisely, prefer to keep at a distance. None of my characters will be saving the world from terrorism, international banking conspiracies or coups to take over the government. Rather, they inhabit a world just below the surface of polite society, characters with one foot on either
