I’m a 21st century girl who loves to read, write, and research. I love details and figuring out mysteries. My two favorite book series are The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. Frank and Joe Hardy, a cool brother detective team, and Nancy Drew, and her crew, are also a great detective team. All of them help people and never give up no matter what. I love that.
To friends who already know me and to new friends – hi! 🙂 Welcome to my blog for the Hardys and Nancy! You’re invited to sleuth and uncover fun facts and trivia about the long-running, much-loved book characters, brothers Frank and Joe Hardy, and Nancy Drew. You can check this blog or my second HB/ND blog, The Hardy Boys Books and Nancy Drew Books, for updates on Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew book releases, and on this one, read stories written to honor the books. There are mysteries waiting for your detecting and solving!
I love reading and writing about the Hardy brothers and Nancy. I read a lot and pretty quickly – I’ve been known to check out stacks and stacks of books from the library (runs in the family). 😀 Frank, Joe, and Nancy are really cool detectives who do a great job combating crime and bringing evil ones to justice. I’m happy you’re checking out my blog and hope you come here often and that your visits are always enjoyable. 🙂
So have fun and please leave some good comments for me – I love hearing from you guys! 🙂 And please let others know if you think they’d like to read my blogs and stories. Thanks! 🙂
To those who have been after me to do this – thank you! 🙂 You won! 😉
Thanks for these two custom pics, Spencer – awesome job! 😀 I think they look great in the header for my blog. 🙂

Hardy and Drew Mysteries 
Will the book release dates include the later paperback Hardy Boys Mystery Stories and Nancy Drew Mystery Stories as they become available in eBook form?
Your header is a masterpiece, Ann! 🙂 I agree that the custom pictures are very cool; they look great with the book covers. I like your display of the cover for The Smoke Screen Mystery, too. 🙂 Callie
Hi! 🙂 Yep, I’m working on putting that info together and hope to post it soon so that it can easily be seen what ones are available as eBooks now and coming up. 🙂
Thank you so much! 🙂 I really enjoyed putting the header together with some favorite cool, book covers and Spencer’s cool, creative pictures that he designed for me. 🙂 “The Smoke Screen Mystery” is one of my all-time favorite covers (and stories ;)). 😀
Thank you; I saw the Hardy Boys list. 🙂
You are welcome. I enjoy looking at it. 🙂 That is a good choice! Callie

Ann, I designed several games that are fun to play and I believe they would translate well onto a blog. They are playable and inviting to an entire range of player levels. All of my game themes are connected to the books, but do not require the players to have read all of the books. These games are good for newcomers to the Mystery Stories as well as the I-have-read-every-Mystery-Story-I-could-get-ahold-of players. 🙂
If you are interested you may contact me about it whenever you wish and I will gladly share the details with you then. 🙂 Callie
I’d love to hear more about them! 😀 Sounds intriguing! 🙂
I will definitely do that – thanks so much! 🙂 😎
Thank you, Ann; I look forward to sharing the details of my games with you. 🙂
😎 You are welcome. Callie
Welcome! 🙂 😎
Hi Ann,
Love the site! If we can send you review copies, please reach out on Twitter or our site and I’ll take care of it. 🙂
All best,
Jesse
Hi Jesse! 🙂
🙂 Thank you so very much! 😀 😎 I really appreciate your compliment – I’m extremely honored! 🙂 – and I have reached out as you suggested! 😉 Wow! 😀 Thank you again! 🙂
Hi Jesse! 😀 Wise move asking Ann to review the groovy graphic novels! 😀 😎 You’re apparently very good at your job as Marketing Director! 😉 😀 It’s Ann’s fault ( 😉 😛 ) for getting me started on the cool book-style comic books! 😛 😉 😀 😎 In fact, I’m going to go check out Ann’s Papercutz category right now! 😀 I really like the Hardy Boys graphic novels I own! 😀
Appreciating the good things,
Lily
Jesse’s really cool and nice! 😀 😎 And I don’t mind taking the “blame” for getting you started on these great Papercutz graphic novels, Lily! 😉 😛 😀 😎
😀 I knew you wouldn’t mind, Ann! 😉 😛 😀 😎
Appreciating the good things,
Lily
Not at all! 😉
Hi!
I like your blog!
Do you write the stories yourself? I haven’t read much of it, but so far, Bid For Intrigue is very well written!
I love the pics, they’re great!(:
Bye!
Hi Sassy! 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
Yep, although I definitely have to give credit to the Creator and my family for helping me sooo much – in everything really. 🙂 I can ask my family all kinds of questions – and get great, accurate answers that I can trust! It’s a wonderful blessing. Actually, my whole family reads and checks over my stories for me. 😀 Thank you – so glad you’re enjoying it! 🙂
🙂 😎
Osiyo, Ann! 😀 (Hello also to everyone else who visits this cool and groovy blog of Ann’s! 😀 ) I’m sooooo happy to see your blog is the rockin’ success I knew it would be 😉 😎 – rising to great heights within a month of its inception and skyrocketing on up to this point already in 5 months of existence! 😎
As you know, I planned on coming here as often as I could. 😎 However, I didn’t expect it to be *this* long before I got back here! 😮 😮 So, to let you know why, I’ll explain briefly. 🙂 (I’m also telling this to my other online friends via your blog because I can’t e-mail them, either. 😦 Error messages keep popping up & blocking my access. 😦 Almost all of those friends – they know who they are! 😛 😉 – know about your groovy blog here & therefore they should read this & know I’m not ignoring them. 😉 😎 ) Okeydokey, skipping the details, it is by the grace & mercy of the Creator that I’m here. 😀 😀 😀 😀 & I can’t thank Him enough for the continuing miracles in my life! 😀
Back to your supercool blog now, Ann 🙂 – WOW!!!!! This has got to be the most popular blog on the planet! 😀 (Probably on other planets, too, provided they have Internet access. 😉 ) You have so much cool 😎 cool stuff going on here! 😀 😎 I can hardly wait to look at what’s been added since the start of Feb.! 😎
& I know exactly where I’m starting – you have 1 of your stories posted already! 😀 😎 All of your stories are supercool! 😎 & I’m happy that others are getting to read them, too! 😎 I’ve always been able to confidently recommend your stories 100% to everyone who enjoys good, exciting, well-written, witty, edge-of-your-seat, cliff-hanging excitement in a mystery adventure! 😀 Anyone who can read the Hardy Boys Mystery Stories – & the Nancy Drew ones, too! 😀 – can read your stories without worrying about garbage, because your stories are not only 100% garbage-free, but also – they are 100% excitement-filled! 😀 😎
I can’t wait any longer! 😮 I’ve *got* to go see your story now! 😀 The Creator willing, I’ll be back to talk more here & comment on your other posts ASAP, okeydokey? 🙂
Appreciating the good things,
Lily

Appreciating the good things,
Lily
Oh, I have been wondering about that, Lily! Hope you get it published soon and may it be a success! 😎 🙂 People are sure to love your books! 😀

Thank you so very much, Ritu! 🙂 And hey, you’re invited to the impromptu party that Joe and Frank are giving her! 🙂 😎 🙂
You are welcome, Ann! 🙂 Thank you for the invite – it sounds cool! 😎 🙂
I agree! 😛 😉 Joking aside, if I didn’t see that about Ann’s stories – I’d be wrong! 😮 & who wants to be wrong, right? 😉 😀 😎 It goes against my character to ignore the obvious! 😀 Ann’s writing is supercool! 😀 😎
Appreciating the good things,
Lily
I agree! 😉 😀
😉 😀 😎
Appreciating the good things,
Lily
Thank you both! 🙂 And you’re welcome for the invite, Ritu! 🙂
You’re welcome! 😀 It’s easy to be honest. 😎 Your stories are supercool, Ann! 😀 😎 😀
Appreciating the good things,
Lily
Ritu! 😀 Thank you for posting to me on that day last month! 😀 Even though I wasn’t able to get here that day (I had originally planned on spending part of that day here 😎 ), I knew that you – and Ann! 😀 – were thinking of me and hoping the best for me. 😎 I appreciate the thoughtfulness very much! 😀 I thought of you that day, too 🙂 – so we did spend part of it together in heart, friend! 😎 Thanks! 😀
Appreciating the good things,
Lily
Ann! 😀 Thank you for always thinking of me & for being so kind, too. 😎 I appreciate your words posted above, too, & you have my permission to “eavesdrop” on my note directly above this one 😉 – I had wanted to get to talk with you here & enjoy your very cool blog then (& every day since!) – alas, it wasn’t to be!
I’m so happy to be here again! 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 I came straight to this page to say “Hi! 😀 ” & now I’m going to go see what’s new since I was here last. 🙂 I’m going to enjoy reading! 😀 I know I can always count on that here at Hardy and Drew Mysteries! 😀 😎 Thanks! 😀
Appreciating the good things,
Lily
The Lily is back again! 😀 😎 😀 Aw, you’re welcome – right back atcha – thank you for being such an awesome friend! 🙂 “Eavesdrop”, huh – lol! 😀 I read it! 😀 I’m very glad when you can be on here – you’re missed when you’re not, Lily. Ritu’s been having computer problems off and on, but hopefully she will be back on here very soon – miss her, also!
I’m really happy to see you here, too! 😀 Cool! 😀 Glad you enjoy reading my blog so much – thanks! 🙂
😀 Thank you for the warm & enthusiastic greeting, Ann! 😀 😎 I’m happy you appreciate my friendship so much 🙂 – friendship is a gift to treasure & I appreciate each friendship that is true. 🙂 😎 Okeydokey! 😉 Thank you. 😀 😎 Awwwww, Ritu hasn’t gotten to read your cool new story yet?! 😦 When I was here the other day I figured she hadn’t seen it here yet – there were no comments from her & I know she loves your stories & appreciates getting to read them. 😀 😎 I feel sad for her having computer troubles right when there’s a good Hardy Boys story online to read! 😦 Hopefully she’ll soon be back & adding to the many cool & happy comments that are so prevalent here at Hardy and Drew Mysteries! 😀 😎
Thanks, Ann! 😀 😎 I sure do! 😀 😎
Appreciating the good things,
Lily
You’re very welcome, Lily! 🙂 Always happy when you visit! 🙂 Definitely a treasure that I’m very thankful for. 😎 I really hope so, too. 😎
🙂 Cool! 🙂
🙂 Thanks, Ann! 🙂 😎 Yep! 🙂
Appreciating the good things,
Lily
🙂 You’re welcome, Lily! 😎
Which of her story you are talking about, Lily? I have read “Gotcha!” if you are talking about that one.
Thanks, Ann and Thanks, Lily! 🙂 I am so thankful for both of your friendships! 🙂
“Cool new story” doesn’t exactly specify, does it? 😛 Especially since that can be applied to all 3 stories on here so far! 😉 😀 😎 & “cool story” can be applied to every story Ann writes 🙂 – as you well know! 😉 (I know you’ve read quite a few. 😀 ) The “cool new story” I was talking about above: Cut to the Chase 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎 – I had seen that you had already commented on Gotcha! & such a great story it is! 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 Today I see lots of cool words in Cut to the Chase’s review section. 😎 Now I know you’ve gotten to read it & that you are on the edge of your seat waiting for the next chapter to make its appearance – & you’re not alone in that wait! 😉 By the way 🙂 – I’m happy your computer is working okay now 🙂 – you’ll get to read the chapters ASAP instead of having to wait for your computer to co-operate with the Internet! 😎
You’re welcome, Ritu! 🙂 I’m thankful for your friendship as well. 🙂
Appreciating the good things,
Lily
😆 Not quite. 😉 Exactly! 🙂 Yep! 😀 It sure is! 😎 😀 Hmm, and I know, as the story will progress, it is going to become harder for everyone to wait for the next chapter! Yes, this computer is working reasonably okay now.(It knows better to not cooperate with me now! 😉 :P) 🙂 Thanks. 🙂
🙂 Means a lot. 🙂
So, I was wondering, Lily.. what if I want to comment on one of your stories. What should I do?
😀 😎 😀 😎 Yep 😀 – you can count on that with every Ann story! 😉 😎 Cool! 🙂 (That’s good! 😛 Let it know who’s boss! 😉 😛 🙂 ) You’re welcome. 🙂 Cool. 🙂
Which one? 🙂 I know you’ve read at least 3 of the 4 I’d temporarily shared online. 😉 🙂 Therefore would it be the 10-chapter story I titled thusly: The Jungle Gym Mystery (in which Frank is 10 & Joe is 9)? 🙂 In regards to where to share your comments about it – let me get back with you on that. 😉
Appreciating the good things,
Lily
😀 Very true! 😎 😀 Yeah, right. 😛 🙂
🙂 Good deduction, Lily! 😎 🙂 Okay. 🙂
🙂 I’m really thankful for yours and Lily’s friendship, too, Ritu! 🙂
Hi Lily!!! 😀 Ann told me that you are back and see, I am here as soon as it was possible. 😛 It is great to ‘see’ you again!! 😀 You are welcome! 🙂 I felt that it would be a good way to send across the message – so glad to see it worked! 😎 😀 Hmm.. we did spend part of it together in heart.. 🙂 Thanks, Lily. 🙂 You are welcome! 🙂
Keep visiting! 🙂
Hi Ritu! 😀 Cool! 😀 Thanks 😀 – you, too! 😉 😀 Yes 😀 – Ann’s blog is a great place for friends – already-friends as well as new friends & friends-to-come 😎 – to visit & talk about the good things – especially good Hardy & Nancy books! 😉 😀 True! 😀 Welcome. 🙂

Hey, hello! Welcome, Piiec! 😀
Yes, this blog is still going, and at present, I am here. 😀

Hi, Piiec! I’m so sorry! Yes, definitely it’s still going. 🙂 I have a new story hopefully about to post. 🙂 Nice to meet you and hope you come back to enjoy everything on the blog. 🙂 Thank you so much for checking it out! 🙂
Thank you, Ritu, for letting Piiec know the blog is active! 🙂 Nice job! 🙂
