Susan Boyar lives on a breathtaking stretch of the Eastern Shore, where the natural world is both beautiful and full of mystery- the kind that makes you look closer and want to protect what you find.

Her My Cousin ODD series, shaped by real relationship and experiences built over twenty years, follows two cousins who could not be more different: Odessa Day Daniel, who investigates, and Maya, who draws.

Together they solve mysteries rooted in nature, community, and the emotions that make us human. Susan believes every child deserves to find themselves on a page.

Thank you for stopping by. Whether you are a reader, a librarian, a teacher, a bookseller, or someone who just discovered Odessa and Maya- I would love to hear from you.
