Wade S. Saxton writes illustrated mysteries and gentle adventures for curious young readers, published under Red Fedora Books. Gus the Traveling Sloth takes his time. He has wandered the gardens of Maymont Park in Richmond, Virginia, climbed through the frescoes of Sigiriya in Sri Lanka, and stood beneath the desert sky at Giza -- always more interested in noticing than in hurrying. Scarlet Ash works a different beat: a twilight version of 1950s Richmond, where the streetlights glow amber, trolley tracks hum beneath the pavement, and the quietest clue is usually the one that matters. So far she has closed the case of the Ghost Trolley and the case of the Missing Melody. Every book is a door into the same connected story-world. You can walk through it at redfedorabooks.com.
