CITY PIXELS AUTHOR
Kevin Zelenka
I'm Kevin Zelenka, author of the Originally Pressed Mysteries, a small-town mystery series set in fictional Flat Rock, Minnesota. The series follows Tony DeLucca, a former Army Military Police investigator who returns home after more than a decade away, accidentally opens a record store, and soon discovers that murder has made the playlist.Flat Rock is more than the setting for the mysteries. It's a town filled with businesses, neighbors, local traditions, gossip, and the type of stories that don't always involve a dead body. I'm using City Pixels to share some of those stories, along with occasional adventures that take Tony and other Flat Rock residents into real Minnesota communities.If you'd like to start at the beginning, Steal Away is the free prequel to the series, available on my website. Tony comes home to northern Minnesota for a funeral and helps the local mortician with a strange discovery. Tony returns to Flat Rock in Book 1, Cool Change, the first Originally Pressed Mystery. A first date at the county fair is interrupted by murder, and Tony's old investigative instincts prove difficult to leave behind.Every Originally Pressed Mystery combines small-town life, mystery, music, and nostalgia, and each book includes its own Spotify soundtrack.Visit fictional Flat Rock, read the Flat Rock Gazette, and learn more about the books at kevinzelenka.com, or just follow along here and meet the cast of characters until you're ready.

The Machine on Highway 23
There's an old bait vending machine along Highway 23 near the turn toward Flat Rock. It's been there longer than anyone seems to remember, and nobody pays much attention to it anymore. Maybe they should.
