Welcome to the online home of Allyson Roy…
where crime, comedy and romance meet. Step into the world of Madcap Noir -- the wacky, urban, hip, gritty, sexy crime adventures in the Saylor Oz Mystery series. Crime is never ‘cozy’ in our books. We let crime be what it is -- ugly, mean and nasty. However, when it comes to funny you can’t top the things people say and do. Which is why we pack our stories with plenty of nutcases caught up in ridiculous situations. That’s why we call it Madcap Noir.
Featuring height-challenged, warmhearted oddball, Brooklyn sex therapist Saylor Oz and her sidekick, Benita Morales, obsessively frugal financial analyst and female boxing champ.
Please stay a while and look around the site. You can read an excerpt and get some inside info about Allyson Roy. And we’ll be having a contest soon, so be sure to stop back.
Yep, that's the Manhattan skyline -- seen from the spooky, artsy, fun neighborhood of DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) where Saylor lives. See more about that in Behind the Series.
Feel free to drop a line with your thoughts, questions or greetings. Love to hear from you!
