Hi, all!
I’m Rae Davies, author of the Dusty Deals Mystery series, set in Montana and romantic comedies, set in the Missouri Ozarks. I’m also (under the name Lori Devoti) the author of dark paranormal romance, young adult novels and urban fantasy.
I’ve always loved mystery novels. I started, like so many people, with Agatha Christie and after reading all of her books (many more than once), I moved on to many other more modern authors. Some of my faves are Susan Conant, Carolyn Hart and Joan Hess. I also love to laugh — try to do that as often as I can — and love my animals. I think you will see signs of both of those loves in my books. (Both the romances and the mysteries.)
I have four books out in the Dusty Deals Mystery Series: Loose Screw, Cut Loose, Loosey Goosey, Let Loose, Lucy and the Valentine Verdict, Loose Lips, and Loose Ends. And I am working on more.
I also have two romantic comedies available: Love is All Around and Love is All You Need. These books were my first traditionally published books. (Originally published by Kensington Books under the author name Lori Devoti.) They are set in the Missouri Ozarks where I grew up and feature a lot of characters similar to people I knew in my childhood.
I also lived in Montana for a number of years. So that setting is based on personal experience and love too.
I hope that tells you a bit more about me and my books. Please poke around a bit and if you are on Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest, find me there! I love to connect with other book fans!
Hoping to see you one of those places soon,
Rae
