Francis Bacon is charged with investigating the murder of a fellow barrister at Gray's Inn. He recruits his unwanted protégé Thomas Clarady to do the tiresome legwork. The son of a privateer, Clarady will do anything to climb the Elizabethan social ladder. Bacon's powerful uncle Lord Burghley suspects Catholic conspirators of the crime, but other motives quickly emerge. Rival barristers contend for the murdered man's legal honors and wealthy clients. Highly-placed courtiers are implicated as the investigation reaches from Whitehall to the London streets. Bacon does the thinking; Clarady does the fencing. Everyone has something up his pinked and padded sleeve. Even the brilliant Francis Bacon is at a loss — and in danger — until he sees through the disguises of the season of Misrule.

Praise for Murder by Misrule One of Kirkus Reviews’ Best Indie Books of 2014 "Castle’s characters brim with zest and real feeling... A laugh-out loud mystery that will delight fans of the genre." Kirkus, starred review. "A delightful debut with characters that leap off the page, especially the brilliant if unwilling detective Francis Bacon and his street smart man Tom Clarady. Elizabeth Tudor rules, but Anna Castle triumphs." Karen Harper, NY Times best-selling author.

Thomas Clarady is recruited to spy on a group of radical Puritans at Cambridge University. Francis Bacon is his spymaster; his tutor in both tradecraft and religious politics. Their commission gets off to a deadly start when Tom finds his chief informant hanging from the roof beams. Now he must catch a murderer as well as a seditioner. His first suspect is volatile poet Christopher Marlowe, who keeps turning up in the wrong places.

Dogged by unreliable assistants, chased by three lusty women, and harangued daily by the exacting Bacon, Tom risks his very soul to catch the villains and win his reward.

Praise for Death by Disputation Death by Disputation won the 2015 Chaucer Award for the Elizabethan/Tudor period “Castle's style shines ... as she weaves a complex web of scenarios and firmly centers them in Elizabethan culture and times.” D. Donovan, Midwest Book Reviews. “ I would recommend Death by Disputation to any fan of historical mysteries, or to anyone interested in what went on in Elizabethan England outside the royal court.” E. Stephenson, Historical Novel Society

London, 1588: Someone is turning Catholics into widows, taking advantage of armada fever to mask the crimes. Francis Bacon is charged with identifying the murderer by the Andromache Society, a widows’ guild led by his formidable aunt. He must free his friends from the Tower, track an exotic poison, and untangle multiple crimes to determine if the motive is patriotism, greed, lunacy — or all three.

Praise for The Widows Guild The Widows Guild was longlisted for the 2017 Historical Novel Society Award. “Fans of historical mysteries will find this book just as captivating and well-done as the rest in a highly recommended read brimming with action and captivating scenarios.” - D. Donovan, Midwest Book Review “As in Castle’s earlier book, Murder by Misrule, she brings the Elizabethan world wonderfully to life, and if Francis Bacon himself seems a bit overshadowed at times in this novel, it’s because the great, fun creation of the Widow’s Guild itself easily steals the spotlight. Strongly Recommended.” - Historical Novel Society Editors’ Choice

“In this aptly titled fourth book in the "Francis Bacon" series, Castle combines her impressive knowledge of English religion and politics during the period with masterly creativity. The result is a lively, clever story that will leave mystery fans delighted.” --Emilie Hancock, Mount Pleasant Regional Lib., SC “This is the kind of book I really wanted to read slowly, to savor all of the delectable tidbits, but I couldn't put it down! I plan to re-read it just to give myself another chance to enjoy it. The mystery is tantalizing-- and I didn't figure it out-- and the layers of history and detail make it a true pleasure to read.” -- Amazon reviewer

It’s 1591, Midsummer at Richmond Palace, and love is in the air — along with the usual political courtships and covert alliances. Secret trysts, daring dalliances, and a pair of pedigreed hounds keep Francis Bacon and his gallant team busy while trying to catch one devilishly daring murderer.

Praise for Let Slip the Dogs “This was a fun read. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this series thus far and sincerely hope the author has plans for more additions to it. It’s mostly light-hearted and witty but includes enough intrigue and historical facts as well and language to keep it interesting. Well done!” -- MdeVeer, Amazon reviewer

An old friend brings a strange problem to Professor and Mrs. Moriarty: either his theater is being haunted by an angry ghost or someone is trying to drive him into bankruptcy. That would shut down his Christmas pantomime before it opens, throwing two hundred people out of work. The Moriartys can’t let that happen! Besides, Angelina is longing to play the lead in a West End show and James needs a bigger challenge than yet another high-stakes game of whist. But the day they move into the theater, the stage manager dies. It wasn’t an accident; it also was most definitely not a ghost. While Angelina works backstage turning up secrets and old grudges, James follows the money in search of a motive. The pranks grow deadlier and more frequent. Then someone sets Sherlock Holmes on the trail, trying to catch our sleuths crossing the line into crime. How far will Moriarty have to go to keep the show afloat? And will they all make it to opening night in one piece? Praise for Moriarty Brings Down the House “Anna Castle’s knowledge of Victorian English theater informs the twists and turns of her plot in an exciting way, and the conspiracy Moriarity uncovers comes as a surprise. A well-written and interesting book. Highly recommended.” -- Marilyn Larew, author of The Spider Catchers.

Nature photographer Penelope Trigg has landed the job of her dreams: documenting the transformation of over-grazed rangeland into an eco-dude ranch and spa, owned by her boyfriend Tyler Hawkins. Then a body is found on the ranch and Ty is arrested. The victim was an aggressive real estate developer with his greedy eyes on Ty’s land and Ty’s sister Diana, who is almost engaged to the senior deputy sheriff. Clues put her at the center of the puzzle. Determined to prove Ty’s innocence, Penny stirs up Diana’s old flames, trying to shed enough light to develop an alternative suspect.
