Welcome to the Compass Rose B&B

A sneak peek into my brand-new cozy mystery series — coming January 2026!

There’s something special about seaside inns. The salty air, the sound of waves against the pier… and of course, the occasional whisper of secrets behind closed doors.

Welcome to the Compass Rose B&B, where the coffee is hot, the gossip is hotter, and every one has something to hide.

Where It All Began

This series was born from my love of cozy corners, rainy days, and small-town mysteries that make you smile and squint suspiciously at the same time.

I imagined a bed-and-breakfast perched on the coast—a place where travelers come to rest, but sometimes… never quite leave the same. The Compass Rose felt like the perfect name: a symbol of direction, destiny, and maybe even a few misdirections along the way.

Meet the Setting

Picture this: a charming seaside town where the locals know everyone’s business (and half of them are wrong about it).
The Compass Rose B&B sits on a hill overlooking the harbor—a creaky old beauty with floral wallpaper, antique teacups, and just enough locked doors to make you wonder what’s really behind them.

Each room has its own personality, and trust me—so do the guests.

Meet the Author (That’s Me!)

Hi, I’m Debora, lover of cozy mysteries, animal sidekicks, and coffee or tea strong enough to fuel a full chapter rewrite.
Writing book 1 has been pure joy—blending heartwarming community, slow-burn suspense (and a blooming romance), and a dash of humor into a world I can’t wait to share with you.

If you love small towns, clever clues, and comfort with a hint of chaos, you’re going to feel right at home in Beacon Harbor and at the Compass Rose B&B!

What to Expect in the Series

You’ll find:

• A strong, relatable heroine who’s not afraid to snoop politely

• Quirky townsfolk who definitely know more than they say

• Mystery, mischief, and the occasional cat or seagull interruption

• A setting you’ll want to check into—minus the murder, of course

Book 1 launches January 2026, and I’m spilling clues and behind-the-scenes peeks all the way there.
