Zucchini Cake and Zombies

2022

Welcome to Broomstick Bay! Here the electricity is glitchy, the townsfolk are witchy, and Ruby has a catastrophic secret that is clawfully twitchy. Non-practicing witch Ruby Crosswell doesn't plan on staying in her hometown of Broomstick Bay for long. She's only back for her reunion and to see her high school crush. The event starts with a dusting of romance. But too soon, the festivities curdle when Ruby's rival is found murdered. Predictably, Ruby is at the top of cranky detective Lance Wolfton's suspect list. It doesn't help that they dated a few times, and then she left without saying goodbye. Forced to stick around, and with her old life glazed in scandal, Ruby agrees to help in her family's bakery. And that's when things get weird. First, she's struck by a wayward spell and changed into a black and white tabby cat. Second, as she's cutting through the graveyard on four legs, she witnesses the murder victim dig herself out of the ground. Zombie-nemesis then tries to use Ruby as a midnight snack. What the ever-loving fluff? It seems that some witch is out to destroy Broomstick Bay one zombified body at a time. Between baking zucchini cake and trying to prove her innocence, Ruby is desperate to reverse the spell that changes her into a cat at the most inopportune times. But it'll take all nine of Ruby's lives to solve the case and rid Broomstick Bay of the zombie problem. \\\\\\\\\\ BROOMSTICK BAY PARANORMAL COZY MYSTERY Zucchini Cake and Zombies Wedding Cake and Werewolves Vanilla Cake and Vampires (11/2023) Upside Down Tart and Unicorns (2024) Tiramisu and Trolls (2024) Funnel Cake and Fairies (2024) Eclairs and Elves (2025) Donuts and Dragons (2025) Apple Crisp and Angels (2025)

Wedding Cake and Werewolves

2023

Welcome to Broomstick Bay! Here the electricity is glitchy, the townsfolk are witchy, and Ruby has a catastrophic problem that is clawfully twitchy. Everyone loves a good wedding, and the residents of Broomstick Bay are no exception. It doesn’t matter that we’re in the dead of winter and temperatures are ferocious. The festivities are going to be positively howling. My name is Ruby Crosswell, and I’m a newly re-practicing witch. Not only that, but I can turn into a cat. It’s one heck of a trick but don’t ask me how I do it. I’m still working on the logistics. Besides, our bakery is three tiers deep into the cake for Heath Banner and his werewolf intended, Fern Franklin. Despite the freezing climate, she wants a pink cake swaddled in hot pink frosting and topped with pink flowers. I’m placing the finishing touches when a pack of werewolves tears through the bakery, destroying the cake. In their wake, they leave the store demolished and a dead body in the street. According to the newly appointed medical examiner, he was killed by a werewolf bite. Now all of the bride-to-be’s family are suspects, and Heath wants me to prove her family innocent. But I think it’s more than that. Heath is hiding something, and I’m determined to find the truth. So, I agree to help. What I don’t expect is to discover that Sheriff Wolfton is harboring a secret of his own. Time to put on my catsuit and meow my way through the clues. Because the town is expecting a wedding and I always was a sucker for a happily ever after.

Vanilla Cake and Vampires

2023

Welcome to Broomstick Bay! Here the electricity is glitchy, the townsfolk are witchy, and Ruby has a catastrophic secret that is clawfully twitchy. The Crosswells are celebrating Grandy's birthday (we don't discuss her age unless we are willing to be cursed with warts in unspeakable places) with a big party at Coven House, and I'm in charge of the cake. My name is Ruby Crosswell, and I'm a newly re-practicing witch. Not only that, but I can turn into a cat. It’s one heck of a trick, but don’t ask me how I do it. I’m still working on the logistics. When a vampire interrupts the celebration, the sweet and powdered festivities turn bloodsucking. The vampire, Christopher, demands that Grandy right a spelled wrong she cast five decades ago. If she doesn't, he'll kill all of the town's witches. But Grandy can't remember what she did, and the vamp refuses to enlighten her. When our coven leader is found dead and drained of their blood, Sheriff Wolfton is sure Christopher did it. But how does one stop a vampire? Turns out it isn't easy. A stake to the heart is messy but not fatal. And then the vampire does the unthinkable and asks me to help prove his innocence. In return, he'll reveal how to fix my cat problem. Reluctantly, I agree. But it's a good thing I have seven lives remaining. I have a feeling my cat is going to need at least one. \\\\\\\\\\ BROOMSTICK BAY PARANORMAL COZY MYSTERY Zucchini Cake and Zombies Wedding Cake and Werewolves Vanilla Cake and Vampires Upside Down Tart and Unicorns (2024) Tiramisu and Trolls (2024) Funnel Cake and Fairies (2024) Eclairs and Elves (2024) Donuts and Dragons (2025) Apple Crisp and Angels (2025)
