Writer of cozy crimes and quiet truths
Meet the Writer
L.J. Provost writes stories where gentle puzzles and quiet reckonings collide. Her cozy mystery series, set to debut the end of this year, begins with Thistle Nook Secrets, introducing Windy Falconet — a FEMA reservist with a knack for uncovering buried truths. L.J.'s poetry and short fiction explore heritage, memory, and moral turning points. Whether chasing clues or peeling back secrets, she invites readers to linger in the hush between sentences.
Thistle Nook Secrets
The first in a new cozy mystery series featuring Windy Falconet, a FEMA reservist turned accidental sleuth while working in disaster recovery. When a murder interrupts a Thistle Nook, a quirky retirement community outside of Nashville, Windy uncovers secrets as layered as Thistle Nook's ravine.
Coming soon.
