About
MICKEY MIDDLETON LANE is an American author who has written plays, musicals, and novels for all ages under multiple pen names.
She spent most of her life in Florida where she became involved with animal rescue and served on the board of a local animal shelter, leading to her development of the Boundless Boarders Dog Detectives mysteries which she writes as Mickey M. Lane with her collaborating husband John H. Lane.
A retired educator who won the Florida Center for Teachers Award given by the Florida Humanities Council, she is certified by the prestigious Renaissance Learning Systems, Inc. as an Accelerated Reader Model and Master Class instructor and developed a highly acclaimed interactive sing-along system to promote reading fluency. She tapped into this background while writing her education-based thriller under the name M. M. Busby.
An avid puzzle solver, mystery buff, and self-proclaimed foodie, she combines her talents into one large pot to stew up her Holmes and Watson Culinary Whodunits as Michelle Busby.
Her association with indigenous Native tribes as Mickey MorningGlory made her “a friend of many fires” and inspired her creation of The Trackers Series multicultural paranormal mystery books featuring Native Americans from different tribes.
Mickey belongs to Editorial Freelancers Association, Women's Fiction Writers Association (WFWA), Sisters in Crime (SinC), Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), American Copy Editors Society (ACES), the National Association of Independent Writers and Editors (NAIWE), and the Author's Guild.
MICKEY MIDDLETON LANE now resides in Arizona with her husband and their redbone coonhound. Readers may visit her at patentprintbks.com and mickeymiddletonlane.com.
Featured Work
The Case of the Boston Terrier-ble Twosome
Meet Labrador retriever Woofer and designer schnoodle Cocoa Puff—dog detective pets who help rescued doggies adjust to life in Boundless Boarders Animal Shelter—a cage-free canine no-kill haven in rural Silver Lake, Florida, where the residents and adoptable guests are well cared for and safe from forced confinement, breeding, bondage, mistreatment, or euthanasia.
In return, the rescued pooches share their tails … er … tales with the two dog detectives. The stories they tell are translated straight from these crime-solving canines’ mouths in their own barks, yips, and howls.
When family pets go missing from their fenced yards, and a dead man is found in the ditch on a country backroad, Boston terriers Zed and Munchie use their special skills to help Woofer and Cocoa Puff locate the dognapped pups and solve the human’s murder, “bearly” escaping in the process.
