CM PY
Writer of mysteries, dark fiction, and worlds that linger long after the last page.
Behind the Words
CM PY is the author of the Bungalow Heaven Mystery Series — a collection of crime and mystery novels set against the sun-drenched streets and shadowed canyons of Pasadena, California.
Drawing on a deep love of character-driven storytelling, CM PY crafts narratives where ordinary people are pulled into extraordinary circumstances. The tension between the familiar and the sinister is a recurring thread — quiet neighborhoods hiding dark secrets, detectives whose personal lives bleed into their cases.
When not writing, CM PY can be found haunting used bookshops, rewatching classic noir films, and taking long walks that inevitably become plot outlines.
