The Buried Treasure on Route 66

Written as an homage to the Nancy Drew books, this humorous and PG-rated mystery about teenage sleuth, Nancy Keene, especially targets women baby boomers who grew up reading and loving the series. Gently poking fun at Nancy’s obscure knowledge, perfectionism, and need for control, this book concentrates and the relationship between Nancy and her father. Nancy has just turned 18, is in a serious relationship with her boyfriend, and is planning to move out of state to college. How will her father handle letting her go? Find out as Nancy, her father, and her boyfriend take a trip on Route 66, visiting several of its landmarks along the way, in search of a missing will. Not only is “The Buried Treasure on Route 66” a tip of the hat to the Nancy Drew books, it’s also a romance novel about both young love and rekindled old love.

Humorous PG rated Nancy Drew

Do people still read "Nancy Drew" mysteries? I inherited 6 books from the series and started reading them again after 40 years. I was struck by their innocence and how they've always made me smile. I loved the relationship between Nancy and her father. I loved the words "Chum" and "Roadster". In the first books of the series, the author uses the word "Machine" instead of "Car". Is that what cars were called in the early 1930s when the books were written? They are in Nancy Drew's world.

I got the idea to write my own version of a Nancy Drew mystery after reading my inherited books, and came up with the idea: "What if Nancy lives in 2013? She could use the internet to help her solve crimes. She could have all the latest gadgets at her disposal such as iPads, iPhone, Kindles, etc. What if her blue roadster is now a blue Hybrid? What if she spent the night with Ned while her father was out of town?!! Jeepers!  

This cozy mystery is not your mother's Nancy Drew Mystery: it is more like a sweet parody written by a fan (me) of the Original Text Nancy Drew Mysteries that were written in the 1930s. My story occurs in 2013:
