Welcome to Mystic Valley Press, your cozy corner of the literary world where mystery and charm intertwine like the plot twists of our favorite whodunits. I'm Mary B. Barbee, your guide through this labyrinth of intrigue, and I've embarked on this journey to bring fellow cozy mystery enthusiasts a haven where tales unravel and secrets abound.

At Mystic Valley Press, we're more than just purveyors of captivating reads; we're a family affair. I have the genuine pleasure of working alongside my daughter, Laura Fry, whose keen eye for curation ensures our shelves are adorned with the most delightful and mysterious gifts. Together, we share a passion for unraveling the enigmatic threads of a good mystery, whether it's dissecting clues in novels or racing to be the first to reveal the plot in the newest whodunit flick.

Behind the scenes, we're fortunate to have the invaluable expertise of Matt Partrich, our meticulous office manager and financial wizard. With Matt at the helm, we navigate the intricate web of bookstore operations, ensuring every aspect runs smoothly while keeping a keen eye on fiscal responsibility. He is the guy that can spot a deal a mile away, always on the hunt for places where we can save our customers money.

And let's not forget our pint-sized guardian of order, Valentino, whose tiny stature belies his fierce dedication to keeping us in line -when he's not basking in the sunbeams streaming through the window, that is.

But what truly sets Mystic Valley Press apart is our commitment to supporting authors like myself. We provide a platform for writers to sell their books directly, bypassing the need to share profits with big stores. Here, authors can showcase their works and connect directly with readers who share their love for the genre.

So, whether you're seeking a gripping mystery to lose yourself in, or searching for the perfect gift to delight a fellow sleuth, we invite you to explore Mystic Valley Press, where every page holds the promise of adventure and every gift tells its own captivating story.
