Black Otter Bay

Praise for Black Otter Bay:“Vincent Wyckoff writes as both a novelist and a naturalist, bringing to life a vivid cast of characters (go, Abby!) as well as engaging the reader's senses in the beauty and wildness of Minnesota's North Shore. Black Otter Bay is suspenseful, surprising, and satisfying.”Lorna Landvik, author of Best to Laugh“Set against a backdrop of Lake Superior, Wyckoff's compelling mystery is populated with upright folks and roiling with a seedy undercurrent. This is a cabin must-read.”Jane St. Anthony, author of Isabelle Day Refuses to Die of a Broken Heart

Born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Vincent Wyckoff dedicated a career to the U.S. Postal Service.

Prior to that, he attended the University of Minnesota and served a tour of duty in the U.S. Army. For a short time he lived on the North Shore of Lake Superior, from which he developed the background for Black Otter Bay, his first work of fiction. Wyckoff and his wife, Sybil, are long- time residents of south Minneapolis. They have three children and six grandchildren.
