Witchy Reservations

2020

There's nothing practical about magic—which is why I ditched my wand years ago. Thirteen years, to be exact. The day I left Silverlake. Except now, a family emergency has called me back home, and quite frankly, I'd rather be anywhere but here. But when my aunt raises her wand to cure a friend and he ends up dead, it becomes abundantly clear I'm not leaving anytime soon. Welcome to Silverlake, a place where nothing is EVER as it seems... and where a witch can find, and lose, a lot more than herself.

Eerie Check In

2021

It turns that even a witch can't run from her past forever. A lesson I learned the hard way. But now I'm back home, and things are going well. Or they were for about five minutes. With the town-saving fall festival days away, the inn's renovation have fallen apart, running me ragged and right into a crime scene. A suspicious death has sent gossip flying faster than you can say bibidi babidi boo, threatening to put Silverlake on the map for all the wrong reasons . It'll take all witches on deck to solve this crime and save Silverlake before it's too late.

Spooked Solid

2021

Welcome to the best holiday of the year. Or so I thought...until the tricks began to outweigh the treats. Frog curses, poisoned candy apples, and a wayward vampire are only the half of it. Add in a two-hundred-year-old curse, a depressed poltergeist, and a dead body, and you can see why my enthusiasm for the witchiest day of the year is waning. Not cool, Halloween Hijacker. Not cool. And that's why you can bet your wand I'm not going to go down without a fight, even if my actions land me in grave danger.

Untimely Departure

2021

It's Christmas time in Silverlake, and everyone is feeling jolly, that is until a suspicious visitor arrives. I have to be honest, Daniel McEwen's presence has me on edge. Or maybe it's his sharp fangs that have me running in the other direction. But when a dead body turns up, and it's clearly a setup, I know I can't hang the vampire out to dry—Aunt Thelma taught me better than that, which is why Vance and I are teaming up to tackle this case and clear our friend's name. Unfortunately, more than one person wants the truth to remain a secret, and they'll do whatever it takes to keep us quiet. Can we trace the clues and bring the real killer to justice, or will there be more than one untimely departure?

Midnight at Mystic Inn

2022

It's New Year's Eve, and Angelica is ready to welcome the New Year. But when the clock strikes twelve and a curse is unleashed, old acquaintances will be anything but forgotten. Who has it out for Silverlake? Or maybe the magical town isn't the target. Because when the snow settles, two women are left frozen at the center of it all—the town's persnickety mayor and an up-and-coming WNN news anchor. Both women's personalities aren't going to make this an easy case. Regardless, it'll take more than a bewitched blizzard to keep Angelica and her friends from tracking the clues. There isn't a minute to spare. If they don't catch the culprit, two women remain frozen forever.

Bewitched Break Inn

2022

There's a string of break-ins happening around Silverlake, and no one is happy about it. Whoever the burglar is, he's smart, able to bypass magical wards and make off with the goods before the police even have a clue something's amiss. That is until Loretta Johnson's grandson is caught red-handed at the scene. It seems like the case is closed, but Loretta is convinced her grandson is innocent, and she wants my help to prove it. Too bad Mrs. Potts wants me to stay out of it. My retired second-grade teacher says I'm wasting my time. Harvey Johnson is a no-good scoundrel, and I'm better off leaving this one alone. But when Harvey's found turned to stone in his jail cell, I know I have to take the case. Something more than petty theft is at play. No one's business is safe until we get to the bottom of this, not even Mystic Inn.

I'm a mystery author with a soft spot for romance and humor, too. I love all things girlie with a dollop of danger, have a strong affinity for the color pink (especially in diamonds and champagne), and, not to brag, but chocolate and I are in a pretty serious relationship. My books are fun and flirty, and feature smart and sassy sleuths. If you love books with a dash of spice and twist of whodunit, you're going to love my work!
