Welcome to Canton, NY, a small farming town nestled in the northern foothills of the Adirondack mountains. It’s the 1930s, and to an outsider’s eye, this looks like an idyllic village mostly untouched by the Great Depression that is ravaging so much of the nation. But even the most idyllic towns and villages have their dark sides. When trouble comes to Canton, the folk there rely on each other to help out. And that includes one young woman in particular …
Meet Pauline Gray. A graduate of the prestigious St. Lawrence University in Canton, she fell in love with the town while in college and has never left. A journalist by day and a secret novelist by night, Pauline’s compassion and drive for justice pull her into mysteries that are too small or too peculiar for the police. She would really prefer a quieter life, but when people need her help, she can’t turn them away, no matter what the danger to herself might be.
Announcing … Pauline Gray Investigates, a collection of the three Pauline Gray novellas into one beautiful book! This omnibus contains Candles in the Dark, Diamonds to Dust, and Secrets of the Past, previously published separately and now conveniently gathered into one edition.
This book is available to purchase in ebook or paperback here, but even better than buying it online would be asking your local bookstore to order it for you. The heart and soul of the Pauline Gray stories is the importance of communities, and in that spirit I would love to see this book in as many local bookstores as possible, celebrating the importance of place.
If you do purchase this at your local bookstore, send me an email at stardancepress@gmail.com and include a photo so that I can see just how many bookstores Pauline has made it into! I’d love to feature your photos and your local bookstores in my next newsletter. (Which, by the way, you can sign up for here):

Enjoy this beautiful omnibus, my friends! I certainly am.
It looks so amazing!
Thank you! I’ve gotten more compliments on this cover than any of my other books EVER. It was definitely the right call to get a professional cover for this one rather than do it myself! Thanks for all your encouragement as I scrambled to get everything together in less than a month.
