DONUTS & DEADBOLTS

A Double Dose of Duty

Meet Doug: equal parts showman, baker, and marketing genius. Doug’s morning mantra used to be a joke—until beer and batter made his donuts famous.

Meet Justin: a hesitant locksmith inadvertently caught in a job gone wrong and an unrequited crush harder to pick than most padlocks.

Together these stories blend foodie fiction with a cozy comic thriller while teasing future jury duty related tensions when Doug & Justin inevitably cross paths at the local courthouse in the eventual Duty Calls crossover novel.
