The Bad Penny Mysteries A Fantasy Mystery/Detective Series Based on the case files of the Jasper, Street-Fighter, and Me Detective Agency Take on Retired Marine Major, who was both an MP and a dog handler, and her Border Collie working dog, Jasper, who retired out with her. A team that never lost a marine during two tours in Afghanistan, thanks to Jasper's amazing nose, and their unique ability to communicate with each other mentally. Major Maggie Mackenzie, USMC Ret. Was allowed to retire early, along with Jasper, to care for her father who was diagnosed is ALS disease, under the caveat that she is subject to recall for special operations. Add in a feral cat, who can communicate with Jasper mentally, and you have an amazing team, that not only can operate in total silence, but one that most would not consider 3 member team, but instead look at a Maggie and her two pets for their ability to communicate with each other is known to two other people. Not even Senior Detective James Patterson of the local police department, and Maggie's life long friend knows of their secret. The Bad Penny Mysteries are based on case files from the Jasper, Street-Fighter, and Me Detective Agency. Each of the books in the series, contains at least two case files, that have been rewritten from the popular and highly rated Jasper, Street-Fighter, and Me series. The stories now include the mental communications that take place between Maggie, Jasper, and Street-Fighter, and also reveal how Jasper and Street-Fighter came to know each other, and how they finagled Street-Fighters acceptance by Maggie as a new member of not only the team but also of the family. The team often finds themselves working with both the local police department and Senior Detective Jim Patterson, the only man that, beside her father, that Maggie, has ever let into her life, but has still never said yes to, no matter how many times he asks. The other major person in her life is her former Commanding Officer when she retired out of the Marines, Lieutenant Colonel Jill Anderson, USMCR, who regulars job is as a Senior Special Agent for the FBI, and head of the Baltimore Office. Jill is one of the two people that k's now of her ability to communicate with Jasper. She was also responsible for coming up with the arrangements that allowed Maggie to retire out early and take Jasper with her. Their time together in the Marines, had resulted in an extremely close relationship, which they had managed to keep clandestine until after the death of Maggie's father when Maggie and Jasper moved in with Jill, while Maggie delt with the loss of her father, with whom she had always been close. Three months later, Maggie moved back to the house that she had grown up in, and after taking steps to ensure that her father's business would continue to operate, she decided to open the Jasper and Me detective agency. And of course, being Marines, they had to keep Marine fit, so, Maggie and Jasper ran every morning at the running park near the university. A location that has been the originating location for more than one of the cases included in The Bad Penny Mysteries. And speaking of the name of the revised series. It came from the fact that Maggie normally didn't have to go out and search for jobs for her detective agency. In many cases they found her, and like a bad penny, they often included people from her past, and or people who sought to do her harm. So, I invite you to join the growing number of fans of the Jasper, Street-Fighter, & Me team with Book 1 of The Bad Penny Mysteries, Where you will not only meet the team, but where it is revealed how Jasper and Street-Fighter met, and the ploy they used to gain Maggie's acceptance of their unique relationship.

Autorenporträt
I have been writing for more years than I care to remember. My credits run the gambit from Technical Manuals, Corporate Operating Procedures, Municipal FEMA Remediation Reediness Plans, Municipal Highway Operations Plans, to Articles on collecting antiques, multiple books of poetry, and in excess of 30 Novellas and full-length novel series. While most have been written under my own name, there is a 5-novel series, and a short story series that have been written under a penname. I don't actively advertise my works or seek reviews, so I am happy to say that my Goodreads rating in 4.03 based on 76 ratings. I guess that I am even happier that my primary penname's rating is 4.18 based on 86 ratings. At this point in my life, my primary function is to act as a caregiver for my wife of many years as she battles the double daemons of Dementia and Alzheimer's. While the words had stopped flowing for a while, the spigot seems to be opening of its own free will. For my writing along with my new found pastime of painting with acrylics are paramount for me in the process of dealing with the stress of being a caregiver.
