K.D. Brinegar writes cozy mysteries with deep roots — in Scottish history, Highland landscapes, and the kind of family secrets that outlast the people who made them.

She grew up in Toledo, Ohio, tracing her own Scottish heritage through her grandmother's stories. When it came time to write the series she'd been quietly building, there was never any question about where it would be set.

Her Killrannoch Keep series follows Moira Sinclair — an estate archivist who reads objects the way other people read faces — through a seven-hundred-year-old castle that keeps producing new reasons to look closer.

K.D. Brinegar is the author of 6 books, including Bagpipes & Blackmail: A Killrannoch Keep Cozy Mystery and Killrannoch Before the Storm: A Killrannoch Keep Cozy Mystery - Book 0. You can sign up to get updates about their writing here.
