Karen MacInerney is the author of more than thirty mysteries, including the Gray Whale Inn Mysteries, the Dewberry Farm Mysteries, and the Snug Harbor Mysteries.

If you’ve missed Dewberry Farm, I hope you’ll enjoy Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Karen MacInerney (?)

“I have a secret. A big, fat, hairy secret. And I’m not talking minor-league stuff, like I once let Joseph Applebaum feel me up behind the seventh-grade stairwell or I got a Brazilian wax after work last Friday or I’m hiding a neon blue vibrator called the Electric Slide in my night table. Which I’m not, by the way. In case you were wondering. ”
― Karen MacInerney, Howling at the Moon
