A new mystery series by
Heather McLeod
Literary mystery novels set in British Columbia, Canada.
WANTED: Agent & Publisher
Are you an agent or publisher looking for a new voice in crime writing?
I am writing an anthology mystery series set in Invermere, a small town in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. My goal is to introduce mystery readers of the world to Western Canadian culture.
My first novel, One for the Raven, was short-listed for the Crime Writers of Canada’s 2019 Unhanged Arthur Ellis Award for best unpublished first crime novel. My local arts council has supported my writing goals with grants in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024.
I am seeking an agent to help me build a career as a fiction writer.
Excerpts of my work are below. Agents or publishers who might be interested in working with me can reach me here.
One for the Raven
When the farmers’ market vendor next to Sadie Fox dies, her questions about his death draw her away from the safe isolation of her farm.
