Welcome Friends,

I invite you to travel with me to Winnebago County, Minnesota and follow the challenging cases Sergeant Corinne “Corky” Aleckson and Detective Elton “Smoke” Dawes get assigned. Ordinary people in the county find themselves in circumstances far outside the ordinary in the suspenseful police procedurals with psychological and thriller elements, the Winnebago County Mystery series.

Or for a cozier mystery adventure, go to Brooks Landing, Minnesota and the Snow Globe Shop Mysteries where you’ll get to know Curio Finds manager, Camryn Brooks, and other intriguing and quirky characters that get tangled up in all kinds of adventures and mysteries to solve.

Synopsis:  Sergeant Corinne Aleckson is dispatched to check the welfare of a hoarder. His brother is concerned he’s ill, or worse. Aleckson learns the man is confined to an upstairs bedroom, accessed via a ladder propped against the house. She climbs up, looks in the window, and can tell the man is deceased; the cause of death to be determined. The family hires a crew to clean out the house and they make an unnerving discovery: the hoarder was not the only one buried in the house.
