Hi there! I’m Kevin — author of the Originally Pressed Mysteries.
I write cozy mysteries set in small towns where quiet streets hide old secrets, people know each other a little too well, and coming home doesn’t always bring the closure you expect. My stories mix humor, heart, and a slow-burn sense of unease — the kind that sneaks up on you rather than kicks down the door.
When I’m not working on a new cozy mystery, I’m probably overthinking minor life decisions, laughing at my own dad jokes (someone has to), or “researching” online, which may or may not involve too much time on social media. I’m also a proud dad to twins, so coffee plays a central role in both my writing process and my survival.
I love creating characters and towns that feel lived-in and real. Places with history, people with blind spots, and stories where the mystery matters because the community does. If you enjoy cozy mysteries with atmosphere, warmth, and just enough edge to keep things interesting, you’re in the right place.
Whether you’re here to explore the Tony DeLucca series, grab a free book, or simply avoid your to-do list for a few minutes, I’m glad you stopped by. Make yourself comfortable.
Just a fair warning: bad puns may occur. I have no defense.
Feel free to reach out — I’d love to hear from you.
