The dog doesn't die in my Sydney Rye Mysteries...

But that doesn’t mean you won’t cry.
My books are raw, gritty, and emotional. Beloved characters don’t survive. Not because I’m a monster, but because this is a series with a main character who evolves and grows. She learns about herself and the world, and one of the ways she does that is through losing people who matter to her.
If you’ve ever experienced grief, then you’ll probably recognize that it can lead to powerful insights about what’s important. Since this series explores justice—and our values lie at the heart of justice—you can see why this character deals with trauma.
Not to mention that being a vigilante is a dangerous profession. It’s also satisfying AF. 😂
In the first book, Sydney Rye is a dog walker in New York City. By the 19th book, she is so much more…and she continues to evolve. Like all of us.
At least those of us who are interested in topics like justice, equity, and the meaning of life.
If you’re looking for a cozy mystery or a rom com, my books are not for you. No judgment—I like a good rom com now and then—but my books are dark…they make people cry…and think.
Don’t get me wrong. This series is also super fun. Just like a real adventure, there are ups and downs, strong emotions, and thrilling experiences.
Sydney Rye and her dog, Blue, exact justice with a vengeance. The dog doesn’t die, but the bad guys do. And it’s cathartic AF.
