Murder Above the Fold

2018

Recent transplants to the quaint little town of Harmony, sister witches Clara and Margaret Balefire thought they were leaving the hectic pace of city life in their rearview mirror. Turns out, keeping up with a thousand-year-old coven leader with a penchant for magical mischief isn’t the most exciting item on their agenda. When Mag and Clara stumble over the dead body of a local woman, they refuse to let the ruling of accidental death stand—not when they’re positive it was murder. If you like cantankerous old witches, concealed covens, and unsolved murders, you'll love this humorous magical story full of chaos and intrigue.

Murder on the Backswing

2018

Sister witches Margaret and Clara Balefire are beginning to wonder if they should have opened a detective agency instead of an antique shop. Taylor Dean was the worst mailman to ever put on a uniform. Everyone in the sleepy hamlet of Harmony thought so, but that didn't mean he deserved to get bashed in the head with a golf club. For Mag Balefire, the timing of his untimely death couldn't have been worse since he'd been spotted arguing with her on the morning of his murder. For the second time since moving to the sleepy hamlet of Harmony, Clara and Mag Balefire find themselves involved in a murder investigation-only this time, catching the killer means clearing the Balefire name. As if trying to catch a murderer wasn't enough, the mischievous elderly leader of the local coven seems intent on exposing magic to the entire town. However, things aren't always as they seem when it comes to ancient magic, and those powerful enough to wield it. If you like magic, murder, and spunky old witches, then join the Balefire sisters as they stalk the local country club and build a love nest for perilous pixies in order to clear their good name.
