Robin Paige Victorian Mysteries
The Robin Paige Victorian mystery series begins in the mid 1890s and continues through the early years of the reign of Edward VII. The books feature two sleuths: Kate Ardleigh Sheridan and Sir Charles Sheridan. Kate is an Irish-American woman who writes penny-dreadfuls under the pseudonym of Beryl Bardwell. She comes to England and inherits a small fortune and the estate of Bishops Keep, located in East Anglia, near the village of Dedham, Essex. Sir Charles is a landed peer and amateur scientist with a special interest in new forensic techniques, such as fingerprinting, ballistics, toxicology, and photography. In each book of the series, Kate and Charles meet notable figures of their time.
Bill and Susan Albert have a special talent for getting into trouble -- together. But while they make a living out of criminal activities, they do it legally. Their co-authored books (and those Susan has written alone) now number around 90 or so, including the 60-something young adult novels they wrote from 1986-1991. They like what they do and have no plans to quit any time soon.
Susan and Bill live on 32 acres in the Texas hill country, 60 miles northwest of Austin, with two black Labradors named Zach and Lady, a matching black cat named Shadow, and an ever-changing assortment of ducks and geese who flock together under the watchful eye of Major Gander, a Toulouse goose of outstanding merit.
