Roberta Beck

Writing enables me to share my love of travel, knitting and fun mysteries to cuddle up with and enjoy. Look for me at robertabeck .com and on Ravelry at Roberta Beck Designs.

NEW for 2026 are the second edition of all 3 books in the Port Oxford Mysteries series! I've added recipes, new maps and knit patterns while finding more places to edit and tweak. And, due to popular demand ("I didn't know your middle initial was L" and "I can't find your books!"), I've come out from under my stash and changed the author from RL Beck to Roberta Beck.

The girls are back in Book 4. This time Mariko heads to Greece and is happily unearthing bones and pottery on an Archeological dig, Geocaching her way through the islands and still finding the time to knit some lace while saving a life hence the working title, Blocking a Murder due for a release in late 2026. And if you need a gift I wrote and illustrated The Christmas Spoon, a lovely children's book that makes me smile every time I read it.
