Fog Harbor

About Sebastian Hart

Which record is lying this time?

I have a complicated relationship with paper. Old ledgers, marginal notes, bindings that crack when you open them the way they were meant to be opened — that is where every Fog Harbor case begins. Not with spectacle, but with a record that does not match itself.

The Fog Harbor Mysteries is a series of small-town LGBTQ+ cozy mysteries. Each book is a complete closed-case investigation built on archival clues, coastal secrets, quiet humor, and a slow-burn bond between two guarded men. The romance is real; the mystery always leads.

Elias Thorne reads the fracture in the record. Chief Silas Kane turns it into evidence the town cannot politely ignore. Together they do not restore perfection — they restore honesty. Byron the cat supervises. Tilly keeps the tin.

If that sounds like your kind of harbor, start with the blue door — or grab the Welcome File and let Tilly explain the rest.

What I am trying to write — and why

The books carry the cases. The Author Notes column is where I write about craft, boundaries, and intent — no spoilers, just the desk behind the shop. New essays appear there when the harbor has something worth saying about how these stories work.
