An Arrow to the Heart is No Loving Matter Helga owns an antique shop in the bustling French Quarter in New Orleans. She's a witch with fiery silver eyes when her witchiness takes control. But right now she's burdened with three ghosts who like to keep her company while working. But that's not the worst of it. When a dead body with an arrow to the heart lies in her path, will she be the one who is blamed? The ornery critter had a jealous wife. Or maybe the arrow has significant meaning. Could Cupid be on the warpath? Is the deadly deed black magic or evil lurking in the mundane world? Helga's coven consists of Gwen her sister, and friends from the Shear Magic hair salon. Can they help her or is one of them to blame. Jacob, the detective in town, is an old school chum of Helga's. While he may not possess the skills Helga has, he does have a few of his own, not counting his dreamy eyes. ***Find out what happens in the first book of the Witches Be Crazy Cozy Mystery Series***

Constance Barker
Author · 202 books
Constance Barker lives in the Midwest with her husband and two Akitas where she can look out from her screened porch onto a wooded area brimming with activity. Since she was a young girl she read mysteries, often given to her by her grandmother. She loved figuring out who the culprit was and sometimes she was right and other times startled at who the author picked as the assailant. Now she enjoys writing mysteries herself. When she isn't writing stories, she can be found in her favorite vacation spot, Las Vegas or shopping for bargains.
