Juneau Black

Juneau Black is the name under which the Shady Hollow series of cozy animal mysteries is published. Beginning with Shady Hollow (2015), the series follows a reporter fox investigating crimes in a small town populated entirely by anthropomorphic woodland creatures, continuing through Mirror Lake, Cold Clay, and Twilight Falls. The books combine traditional whodunit plotting and small-town atmosphere with a whimsical animal cast, drawing comparisons to classic English village mysteries recast with a talking-animal ensemble. Promotional material for the series speaks of the "Shady Hollow universe" and its recurring cast of animal townsfolk rather than offering a personal author biography. The series has continued for roughly a decade, expanding its cast of recurring animal characters across successive mysteries. Detailed public biographical information is not publicly available.
