Rebecca Barrett

Rebecca Barrett writes historical fiction, cozy mysteries, post-apocalyptic fiction (writing as Campbell O’Neal), children’s stories, and short stories of life in the South. An avid reader all her life and a product of “front porch” socializing, she became a story-teller at an early age. Currently Rebecca is writing a detective series set in the deep South of the sixties featuring Hugo August, a Vietnam veteran, as her protagonist. The first book, The Rat Catcher, is available in paperback and ebook format. The second book in the series, She Had To Die, is taking shape as our intrepid author rocks out to the great music of the sixties and delves into the good vibes, high times, and social unrest of that era. Her cozy mysteries feature Trouble, that handsome, sleek, black cat detective, In Trouble in Paradise, the game is afoot in Key West, Florida and there's a dead body in the Toucan Suite of the Paradise B&B. This is Rebecca Barrett's second book in this series written by multiple authors (The Mad Catters) who follow the antics of super-sleuth Trouble as he lands in first one crime scene then another. Of course, the humans help a little. These mysteries are fun and light hearted and just perfect for a beach read or a rainy day.
