Meet Janice Hart in Murder in Moonridge Bay, where a new beginning in a quiet Maine coastal town leads to an unexpected mystery—and secrets someone would rather leave buried.
After years of service as a Navy nurse, Janice Hart returns home...
Hello, and welcome! I'm Nell Piper, and I'm so glad you're here.
I believe the best stories leave us feeling as though we've made new friends and visited places we'd love to return to. That's exactly the kind of books I enjoy writing.
My stories range from heartwarming children's adventures to cozy mysteries, clean suspense, and wholesome romance. Still, they all share one thing in common—they celebrate friendship, courage, hope, and the joy of discovering that ordinary people can do extraordinary things.
Many of my stories take readers to close-knit communities where history has a way of hiding secrets, neighbors still look out for one another, and mysteries can appear in the most unexpected places. From Barrow Creek and Moonridge Bay to Elmwood Springs and Willowbrook, each town has its own characters, secrets, and stories waiting to be discovered.
I'm also a great-grandmother, and some of my children's stories have been inspired by the young readers in my own family. Writing stories that can be enjoyed, remembered, and shared from one generation to another is especially meaningful to me.
My novel Murder in Moonridge Bay was honored as a Global Book Awards finalist in the Mystery-Murder category.
When I'm not writing, you'll usually find me reading, researching, or dreaming up the next mystery, adventure, or unforgettable character.
Thank you for visiting and for giving my stories a place on your bookshelf. I hope they bring you a few hours of mystery, comfort, and a reason to smile.
Happy reading!
Nell Piper

Some secrets are buried in old ledgers. Others are hidden beneath the land itself.

Some secrets are buried in forgotten records. Others are hidden in plain sight.
After exposing corruption that threatened Barrow Creek Ranch, sisters Clara and Carla Collins hope life is finally returning to normal. But when a decades-old journal, a forgotten cemetery, and a trail of missing land records reveal another layer of deception, they...
Some mysteries begin with a crime. Others begin with a discovery. For Clara and Carla, it began with both. The twins never intended to become investigators. They were simply trying to start over after leaving corporate careers that revealed more corruption than either of them expected. What began as a temporary stop at a quiet ranch in Barrow...
