The Ollie Stratford Mysteries

The Ollie Stratford mysteries are set in the hill country, Texas. The protagonist is a part-time professor of statistics. Ollie is the mother of four grown children and a transplant from Brooklyn, New York city.  Ollie's husband disappeared mysteriously working on an overseas project. 

Ollie resides in a 10 acre property called Ealing Homestead which sits on the outskirts of a small hill country town, Medlin Creek. She is a trained martial artist (although very rusty and out of shape), enjoys pizza, soda, and solves mysterious murders. ​Along with her stray dog Bodie and a collection of eccentric friends, Ollie pieces together puzzles which the Sheriff’s department are incapable of solving. 

TEXAS TROUBLES

Want to get away from the daily grind? So did Ollie! 

Middle aged Professor Ollie Stratford's been hounded by a psycho realtor, outrun by a bunch of grandma’s, taken bad advice from sock puppets, stuck in a brimming toilet bowl, and almost run out of college by a drunken professor. How is that for her first few days in a quiet little Texas town she never wanted to live in?

Thrust into the middle of a murder mystery with a dwindling pile of cash and very few leads Ollie starts digging. Along the way, she teams up with an oddball reporter, a dreadlocks flashing lawyer, a grandma who teaches mixed martial arts, and a stray dog named Bodie.
