About this author

I'm the author of two mystery series. The Gertie Johnson backwoods series set in the Michigan Upper Peninsula. It's a fun romp through the pines. And a doll collecting mystery featuring Gretchen Birch and set in Phoenix.

My latest adventure, under my pen name, Hannah Reed, is a mystery series about a Wisconsin beekeeper. Buzz Off, Mind Your Own Beeswax, Plan Bee, and look for Beeline to Trouble on December 4th, 2012

Finding Jack
by Gareth Crocker (Goodreads Author)
The premise was a good one, bringing awareness of the awesome dogs who served in the war, but I thought the storyline 'jumped the shark' several times, into the realm of unbelievable.

“The difference between men and women is this--if you catch a woman butt-naked, she tries to cover the private parts with her hands. A man will sit there just like you found him even if he doesn't have much to be proud of.”
Deb Baker, Murder Passes the Buck

“I wondered if having conversations with your dog was less crazy than babbling to yourself when no one else was around. I guess it depended on whether or not the dog answered.”
Deb Baker, Murder Grins and Bears It

“I'll eat rabbit pellets before you get me into something pink with ruffles.”

Melissa Keith Thanks for the friendship, Deb!

Great! Thank her for me. Hope she's recovering well.




Rosemary Deb, my mother just finished Dolled Up For Murder and thoroughly enjoyed it!


message 6: by Deb

Deb Give your mom my best wishes for a speedy recover. I've heard great things about Murder By the Book but haven't been that way yet. You're the best.


Rosemary Deb, when I'm in town (Houston) next Saturday, I plan to visit Murder by the Book and pick up some of your doll mysteries. My mother is staying with me (recuperating from a broken hip), and after I told her about learning of your series on Goodreads, she wants to read them. Good books are really helping her recover!


message 4: by Deb

Deb Rosemary, that's right, we did role play with our dolls and create stories. Such fun!


Rosemary Deb, thank you so much for befriending me. I'm excited to learn about your line of "doll" murder mysteries. Dolls and doll playing were a huge influence on my development as a writer (all that creating personalities for the dolls and making up stories for them to enact). When my daughters were little we read a book called The Dollhouse Murders--now we need to move on to your books!
