Mag and Clara Balefire are back and on the case. In the quaint town of Harmony, chaos is always just a wrinkle away. Welcome to the uproarious world of Mag and Clara Balefire, where life is anything but serene, and trouble seems to follow the sisters wherever they go. Things take a sinister turn when a dead body turns up at the prestigious Harmony Country Club. While Mag’s busy sorting out the case, Clara discovers that the secrets of eternal youth might be hidden within the club's crystal-clear pool. With more than just chlorine in the water, Clara finds herself entangled in a cunning scheme to turn back time and restore her sister’s youth. But in her quest to reclaim Mag’s true age, she'll have to face the infamous troublemaker, Hagatha Crow, a meddlesome force determined to unleash chaos on the town. While Clara works on the spell she hopes will save her sister’s life, Mag tries to track down a killer. One thing is for sure – in Harmony, life is never dull, and laughter is the best cosmetic. This is a full-length, humorous mystery novel featuring witches and other paranormal characters.

ReGina Welling prefers not to talk about herself in the third person so... I live in Maine with my husband, a silly flufferpup named Dash, and a crazy cat named Cricket. I write full time and also create mixed media artwork when I get the chance. When I was three, my mom brought home a new book and when she went to read it to me, I read it to her instead. That was when she realized I'd learned to read. Since then I couldn't even estimate the number of books I've read. It's a lot! **October featured author in the Cozy Mystery Book Club.
