Sherrill Joseph, a retired teacher turned multiple award-winning author, created The Botanic Hill Detectives Mysteries series for children ages 9-14 so she could stay connected with kids, who rock.

Joseph presents responsible, role-model detective characters who provide readers with a fun mystery to solve and something to learn while showing that being respectful and helpful citizens can be cool!

She lives in San Diego, California, in a 1928 Spanish Mission Revival bungalow. Her historic neighborhood, Nancy Drew, and lexical-gustatory synesthesia inspire her writing. The author promises many more adventures with her detectives to come.

Hello, Kids and All Readers,

Between working on Book 7 and all its related tasks, I’m keeping a decades-long promise to myself. Call it Spring Cleaning, Common Sense, or my Gift to my Descendants.
