Meet Windy & Darling
Bizarre murders turn two unlikely friends detective
Hello, Windy & Darling, the most arresting amateur sleuths who don’t arrest
When opposites collide, eccentric has no bounds. A right peculiar pair, but who are Windy & Darling?
Jon Marcus Windup is a dawdling, anxious nerd. Frustrated by the lack of permanent jobs in his field, he temps as a barman in local village inns and devotes his time to geeky pursuits, including electricity pylons, maps, and roads. Desperate to escape the madness of town life, the cat-loving, sensitive soul yearns for a country home like that of unlikely close friend, Wendy.
Legal eagle turned editor/writer, Wendy May, thrives on ambition. The feisty, odd-eyed hat fiend has a yen for Japan, adores history, and is a dab hand at cooking. She’s also a wine connoisseur and a wordplay wizard, likening folk to punctuation marks. Though an unpeople-people person, she strives for justice, and loves a soapbox reasonable rant for human rights and equality.
Life takes a dangerous tumble when Jon meets a dead body, a broken baguette, and a fistful of silver coins down in the cellar of local pub, the Noose & Gibbet. Jon’s curious nose smells bizarre murder, and when the pub’s head chef vanishes, excitement rises, and he sees himself in a dynamic new role. Caught up in Jon’s energy, Wendy needs no persuasion to be in. Snuggled among the rich decadence of coffee and cake in their favourite cosy cafe, the Yin and Yang, Zen-connected pair, look to crack two baffling mysteries. Team Windy & Darling, the most arresting amateur sleuths who don’t arrest, is born.
Windy & Darling don’t play by the book, but can they solve murders?

To the left, Jon Marcus “Windy” Windup, the geeky, sweet-toothed Mapman, who’s a sucker for country life, but lives in town. He’s Aries, an environmental scientist, is nuts about maps, roads, pylons, curry, and cats, and often eats double his body weight in cake and chocolate.
A warbler of wacky words and fishy facts, Jon’s steadily single, and if you gift him a box of double-chocolate chip cookies, he’ll show you a rare talent he learned while still in short pants. How to fold a whopping big map in less than ten seconds, in a dark room, while blindfolded.

To the right, ‘tis feisty Wendy “Darling” May, the odd-eyed activist and lawyer turned writer/editor. She’s Sagittarius. Exclusively single. Mad about words, hats, history, cooking, and soapbox demos, where she often gives the lawdown in one of her reasonable rants for social and animal justice.
She can sink countless cups of coffee without bouncing off the ceiling, likens people to punctuation marks, and is a wizard at wordplay. Join her in a glug from a fine bottle of red, and she’ll explain the difference between an anagram, aptagram, and an acrostic.
