Suburban Dicks

2021

From the co-creator of 'Deadpool' comes a hilariously entertaining debut featuring two unlikely and unforgettable amateur sleuths. An engrossing and entertaining murder mystery full of skewering social commentary, 'SUBURBAN DICKS' examines the racial tensions exposed in a New Jersey suburb after the murder of a gas station attendant. Andie Stern thought she’d solved her final homicide. Once a budding FBI profiler, she gave up her career to raise her four (soon to be five) children in West Windsor, New Jersey. But one day, between soccer games, recitals, and trips to the local pool, a very pregnant Andie pulls into a gas station - and stumbles across a murder scene. An attendant has been killed, and the bumbling local cops are in way over their heads. Suddenly, Andie is obsessed with the case, and back on the trail of a killer, this time with kids in tow. She soon crosses paths with disgraced local journalist Kenneth Lee, who also has everything to prove in solving the case. A string of unusual occurrences - and eventually, body parts - surface around town, and Andie and Kenneth uncover simmering racial tensions and a decades-old conspiracy. Hilarious, insightful, and a killer whodunit, 'SUBURBAN DICKS' is the one-of-a-kind mystery that readers will not be able to stop talking about.

The Self-Made Widow

2022

From the cocreator of Deadpool and author of Suburban Dicks comes a diabolically funny murder mystery that features two incredibly likable—and unlikely—sleuths investigating a murder that reveals the dark underbelly of suburban marriage. After suburban mother of five and former FBI profiler Andie Stern solved a mysterious murder—and unraveled a decades old conspiracy—in her New Jersey town, both her husband and the West Windsor police hope that she will set aside crime-fighting and go back to carpools, changing diapers, and lunches with her group of mom-friends, who she secretly calls The Cellulitists. But Andie can't help but get involved after the husband of Queen Bee Cellulitist Molly Goode is found dead—and signs point to Molly's involvement. As Andie begins to dig into the case, she risks more than just the clique's wrath—and what she discovers might hit shockingly close to home. Meanwhile, journalist Kenny Lee is enjoying his rehabilitated image after his work with Andie. But he too is drawn back into the thicket of suburban scandals in West Windsor, which in this involve secrets, affairs, and a huge sum of money. Andie and Kenny once again are thrust into a mystery that is in turns terrifying and titillating—and altogether original.
