Calm Before the Witch Storm
2019
Mysteries and Mischief in Calamity Corners Upon arriving at her late Aunt Nancy's home in Calamity Corners, Nann is met with the odd sight of a mischievous pig, Pokey, toting a toilet seat. But eccentricities abound in this town, and a roaming pig is merely the tip of the iceberg. As she sets out to establish her bookstore in Cemetery Center—an unlikely business hub, to be sure—she discovers it's not just about books and rent. Her neighboring shop is an art gallery owned by Zinnia, who harbors a full-moon secret. Werewolf? Not quite. And then there's the town's sole car mechanic, Tink, sporting inexplicably Spock-like ears. Elevate to the third floor of Nann's building, and you'll find men having casual beer gatherings around a peculiar a coffin. Whispers suggest affiliations with the VHS, but is it the Vampire Hunter Society or the Van Helsing Society? The mysteries deepen. Nann is more than just an ordinary newcomer. She’s a Druid witch, successor to her Aunt Nancy, coming not only to inherit a home but to continue the legacy of the family bookstore. Her quirky sidekick, Pokey, previously Aunt Nancy’s magical familiar, communicates through radio frequencies—yielding either an indignant, red-eyed swine or a cuddly, affection-seeking piglet. But as young men begin vanishing from neighboring towns, Nann suspects a magical malevolence at play. Could Tink, the elvish mechanic, have sinister motives? Is Zinnia’s shapeshifting side more carnivorous than one might think? Or does the coffin conceal a nocturnal nemesis? As Nann dives deeper, she realizes she's not just a suspect in the eyes of the town—she's potential prey. To unravel the enigma, Nann must locate her aunt's arcane books. But as she delves into the spells and stories of her family, she finds herself at a crossroads, with threats looming from every corner. Venture into Calamity Corners, where each page turn reveals a new riddle, in the debut of the Calamity Corners Witch Cozy Mystery Series.

The Witch is in the Details
2019
Nann calls them poppets, but the rest of the town calls them voodoo dolls and they keep popping up around dead people.
The mill's board has come together to address whether they will accept the town's buy out program and reopen the mill. Lakeshore Properties continues to seethe, wanting the property for their own gain. And Magic seems to swirl around the entire town.
Zinna has worked hard to create a program to show the board members how reopening the plant via a worker buy out would benefit the company and the town. But a board member drops dead before revealing a decision and his notes mysteriously go missing.
Deputy Keith turns up at Nann's bookstore asking questions regarding the voodoo dolls. Since Nann has an occult section in her bookstore and Aunt Nancy was either bonkers or a witch, maybe Nann has the goods on what's going on. Of course, Nann must remain unassuming. No need to let the handsome deputy in on her secrets. That is, until Tink is framed when a slew of poppets are found in her garage.
When more people end up dead with voodoo dolls attached, Nann and Pokey, her pig familiar, must figure out if Aunt Nancy has any documents that may lead to a killer.

It's Time to Party...so of course a Dead Body Shows Up
Nann's decided to continue her Aunt Nancy's tradition of throwing an old fashioned down home witch party, complete with old ladies dancing naked around a huge fire. Good times.

Like, why are there a bunch of old girls eyeballing him...and oh yes, there's a skeleton in your yard...and it has a tail!
Aunt Nancy had parties in the past and someone ended up dead and buried. Did Nancy have a hand in it? Could some of the witches at the current party have done the dirty deed? And what do the sea hags have to do with this?
Pokey, Aunt Nancy and Nann's familiar pig, doesn't recollect a murder in Aunt Nancy's past or is he trying to save her good name? Tink and Zinnia think Nann has a crush on Deputy Keith and could care less about the skeleton in Nann's yard, that is until they discover they may have to pay a price with their own lives.

And who is this hot new hunk in town? Nann has set up a book signing for him in her bookstore and although she knows his name, he's quite the mysterious fellow.
