PRAISE for the books

Hi and thanks for stopping!

If you, like me, love history and mystery with a cozy touch and intriguing characters, you are in the right place! My historical mysteries are set during the Prohibition Era Twenties in small-town America, where life was simpler, and customs were unique. Incorporating old-fashioned celebrations and practices into my books is part of the fun.

I write about what I enjoy and know. As long as I can remember, I’ve looked at the old houses in my town and wondered about who lived in them decades ago. What were their hopes and dreams? What were their challenges? As you might guess, I have a vivid imagination! I use it in my books, but they are also grounded in history, which is why D.S. Lang Books is at the corner of History and Mystery! Nevertheless, my amateur sleuths are intrepid women who work with, not for, local lawmen. Sometimes, sparks fly while they figure out “whodunit.” And there’s a little laughter along the way.

If you like playing armchair detective, while being immersed in the past, try one of my books. When you sign up for my newsletter, you will get two free prequels. The first books in each of my series are permafree, so you can dip into the stories for free.

Happy sleuthing!
