<p>R.F. Kacy (or Kacy as he is known) is a professional economist turned fiction writer who draws on 30 years of experience dealing with college students to create stories filled with quirky characters. His main writing focus is what he calls “Slightly Unclean Mysteries.” Think Nancy Drew meets Alfred Hitchcock at a party thrown by David Lynch. Not quite cozy, but not a splatter-fest either. Sometimes weird and head-scratching. They’re the stories Agatha Christie would write if she was wandering around 21st century America.<br />
<br />
Kacy grew up in the Detroit area, earned degrees at three different universities, and ended up working most of his career in the deep south where he still lives with his wife and a small, demented cat named Peanut. He dreams of becoming a digital nomad, exploring the U.S. and the world by caravan. Or, at the least, getting more opportunities to visit with his son as he follows his own meandering path through higher education.<br />

By day Kacy is often seen with handsaws, planes, and other ancient implements for working wood. By night he roams the darkened streets, looking for stories and trying not to fall into open manholes.</p>
