Meet C.B. Wilson, award-winning author of The Barkview Mysteries — a heartwarming and witty series that combines her lifelong love of animals, clever storytelling, and good old-fashioned whodunits.
C.B.’s writing journey began in childhood after reading a Nancy Drew mystery and deciding she could write a better ending. That spark grew into a full-fledged passion for crafting stories filled with adventure, humor, and heart.
Her ten-book Barkview Mysteries series follows Cat Wright, a feline-loving former investigative reporter who unexpectedly finds herself in a world of dogs, secrets, and small-town intrigue. Each mystery unfolds with a mix of charm, suspense, and a cast of unforgettable animal companions — all inspired by C.B.’s belief that every pet deserves a forever home.
A graduate of the Gemological Institute of America, C.B. brings her fascination with lost and stolen gems into her plots, adding an extra layer of sparkle and mystery. When she’s not writing, you’ll find her riding through the Arizona desert on horseback (where her best plots come to life), playing pickleball, or indulging her well-known chocolate obsession. 🍫🐾
