Timeline

The following reveal how my historical mysteries and novels relate to one another regarding time, space, and characters. The Regency romantic mysteries in the Archer series often have guest appearances by inquiry agents from Second Sons Inquiry Agency, so there is crossover.

However, the books differ slightly in tone. Books designated as The Archer Series are much more humorous and there is an emphasis on the romance. John Archer, a rogue and inveterate matchmaker, is threaded throughout the Archer series.

Books in the Second Sons Inquiry Agency series tend to be more serious and focus more on the mystery plot.

All books stand alone, however, so you may read them in any order.
