Murder Most Pumpkin
2019
In a coastal village in Cornwall, people tell the local legend of the Pumpkin Scarecrow. Watch out for the pumpkin man. He will take whomever he can. He’ll take an animal each Halloween. But he’d rather have your children if he hears them scream. So, when resident witch Morgana finds the body of a man with a pumpkin for a head on Halloween, she instantly recognizes what it’s supposed to be. The trouble is that the body in question had upset a lot of people, most notably by destroying everyone else’s pumpkins in order to take first prize at the village show. She knows she should leave it to the police to figure out, but it wasn’t the pumpkin that killed him, it was the knife in his back, and the knife belongs to her.

Body at the Bakery

Cornish Cream Tea with a dollop of death on the side. When a body is found in her sister's bakery, Morgana rushes to Ellie’s aid. She’s supposed to have ‘abilities’ to see more than most, but she’s suppressed them for years. However, if she wants to help Ellie, then it’s time to dust off her pointy hat and get back on that metaphorical broomstick. With her brother-in-law in custody, her wicked twin back in town, not to mention a smoking hot chef raising her temperature, Morgana has more than enough to distract her. Can she hone her skills again in time to find the real murderer?

Morgana Emrys had the misfortune to witness his fall from the ruins of the castle tower to the sea below, and she’s far from sure that he was alone up there. Her need to know the truth leads her into an investigation that she might only survive if she can grapple her returning powers into submission before they overwhelm her. Finding a killer is her first priority, but the ghosts don’t want to rest in peace!

Fatality at the Christmas Fayre
2021
Christmas time, mistletoe and … murder? This time, Morgana is sure she knows who’s guilty, but it’s the most unlikely of suspects! It is the season of goodwill and everything is looking festive in the Cornish village of Portmage. But when a death occurs at the Christmas Fayre, local witch Morgana Emrys feels obliged to investigate. After all, it was her mistletoe that did the deed, and her talent for seeing auras and sensing emotions has been useful in the past. However, her instincts seem to be pointing her to the one person nobody else suspects, and proving she’s right is going to be trickier than untangling tinsel.
