Mary Keliikoa and Emmeline Duncan at White Oaks Books

Join Mary Keliikoa and Emmeline Duncan for a reading and signing at White Oak Books.

Eighteen years in the legal field, and an over-active imagination, led Mary Keliikoa to plot murder—novels that is. She is the author of the domestic thriller Don’t Ask, Don’t Follow, the “Misty Pines” mystery series which is an IPPY Silver Award winner, Silver Falchion finalist, and a Foreword 2023 Indies award finalist.

She’s also the author of the Shamus and CLUE Finalist, and Lefty, Agatha and Anthony nominated “PI Kelly Pruett” mystery series. Her short stories have appeared in Woman's World and the anthology Peace, Love and Crime.

Like her Ground Rules Mystery series, Emmeline Duncan is based in Portland, Oregon. Her series includes Fresh Brewed Murder, Double Shot Death, Flat White Fatality, and Death Unfiltered, plus more to come. She’s also the author of Chaos at the Lazy Bones Bookshop, which comes out in July 2024. Emmeline also writes for teens as Kelly Garrett. Her debut YA novel, The Last To Die, was an Oregon Book Awards finalist. She also received a 2020 Oregon Literary Fellowship.
