D. R. White writes quiet coastal mysteries about small towns that prefer their systems unnoticed and their histories undisturbed.

Her Cliffside Haven Mystery series follows Lee Winters and her dog Bear as they investigate diappearances, erasures, and crimes disguised as routine -- where attention itself becomes dangerous, and the real threat is what a community agrees not to see.

The stories are intentionally non-supernatural. What feels haunted is human-made. What lingers does so because someone allowed it to.

White lives in the Midwest, where she walks daily, listens closely, and believes that some truths don't vanish -- they wait.
