🐾 Hi, I’m Parker, the incredibly intuitive canine who helps Elyse Gray lead Claire, Jack, Marta, and Hazel along their path to solving cozy mysteries. They always have strong female leads, clever red herrings, unexpected twists, and secrets that might just be worth killing for. While Elyse does the typing, I sniff out the curious happenings in our small town, the ones with a story worth telling and a page worth turning. Together (Elyse insists I must include Kiwi, the cat), we’ve built the world of the Echo Mountain Mystery Club—one captivating case at a time—creating a standalone series that readers will want to return to again and again. 🐾 Kiwi: "He means I supervise. Delusional. Proceed. 🐾"
The Real Parker, my constant shadow and loyal Mini Aussie, is the heart behind every hero dog featured in these cozy mysteries.

The Real Parker, my constant shadow and loyal Mini Aussie, is the heart behind every hero dog featured in these cozy mysteries. He keeps watch beside my desk, serving as my faithful writing partner and full-time supervisor. His devotion is steady, uncomplicated, and fiercely protective. While I may be the one telling the stories in this standalone series, Parker is the one who reminds me what love looks like—patient, joyful, and always waiting at the door. If you’ve fallen for the fictional Parker in my small-town mysteries, just know—he’s only slightly exaggerated. Every hero moment on the page is rooted in the very real dog who guards my feet and my heart, making these tales a must-read for any dog lover.
And Kiwi? The Real Kiwi is an extremely large, fluffy, and fearless hunter with a mouser’s instincts and the confidence of a cat who's always right. With green eyes as bright as kiwi fruit, this formidable feline misses nothing—especially when there’s something worth chasing or judging. Fiercely loyal when it counts, Kiwi has earned a rep
And Kiwi? The Real Kiwi is an extremely large, fluffy, and fearless hunter with a mouser’s instincts and the confidence of a cat who's always right. With green eyes as bright as kiwi fruit, this formidable feline misses nothing—especially when there’s something worth chasing or judging. Fiercely loyal when it counts, Kiwi has earned a reputation as a stealthy attack cat, much like the characters in Elyse Gray's cozy mysteries. While Kiwi has a soft spot for most people, dogs? Absolutely not. If you’re a fan of small-town mysteries, this standalone series is a must-read, but don’t expect Kiwi to be your friendly companion.
