Annelise Ryan is a best-selling writer that has been entertaining mystery fiction enthusiasts for nearly two decades mystery series. Now she brings her unique combination of wit, humor, murder, and mayhem to a series featuring bookstore owner and cryptozoologist, Morgan Carter, and her devoted canine sidekick, Newt as they solved mysteries involving cryptids throughout the state of Wisconsin.
For their first outing, A DEATH IN DOOR COUNTY, Morgan is hired to determine if a series of mysterious deaths might be the result of a Loch Ness-type monster lurking in the depths of Lake Michigan.

Book #3, BEAST OF THE NORTH WOODS, has Morgan and Newt hunting for a deadly Hodag in Rhinelander, Wisconsin.
Book #4, MONSTER IN THE MOONLIGHT, features the Beast of Bray Road, a werewolf-type creature associated with Elkhorn, WI and was released on January 27, 2026.
Who knew Wisconsin had so many cryptids?
