About Steven Cline

Steven Cline is the author of the Elsie Finch Mysteries, a series of adventures featuring a thirteen-year-old girl with a sharp eye for details, a stubborn streak, and an unfortunate habit of asking questions that other people would rather leave unanswered.

Inspired by the tradition of classic young detective stories, the series combines intriguing puzzles, hidden histories, colorful characters, and a touch of humor. Each mystery follows Elsie as she uncovers secrets, challenges assumptions, and discovers that the truth is rarely as simple as it first appears.

The series begins with The Secret of Lantern House, in which strange lights, whispered rumors, and a mysterious old house draw Elsie into an investigation that reaches far beyond a supposedly haunted building.

Published under the Calico Press imprint, the Elsie Finch Mysteries are written for readers who enjoy clever clues, memorable characters, and the timeless appeal of a good mystery.

Steven continues to develop new adventures for Elsie, with more mysteries planned for the series.
