Spells and Spooks

2020

Welcome to Witch Haven. Where nothing is quite what it seems. I’m back in the last place I want to be. A place where my magic went rogue, and people died. Witch Haven should be a haven, but I messed that up big time. I have no friends to help me. No family left. And not even a witch’s familiar to keep me on the right path. Magic used to flow through me, but now I’m a lone witch, drained of power and hoping I can sneak into Witch Haven, clear up the mess my stepmom left behind, and get out alive. If the villagers find out I’m here, I’ll be hunted down. If the Magic Council catch me using anything more powerful than a light spell, I’ll go back to jail. And if my guilt doesn’t choke me, the gnomes will. So yeah. Home sweet home never felt so unwelcoming. \\\* Welcome to a new cozy witch paranormal mystery series, full of magic and puzzles to solve. Meet failed witch, Indigo Ash, as she struggles to get over her past and stay alive, along with a cast of quirky, fun characters who will entertain you throughout this book.

I survived my first week in Witch Haven! I found old friends, amazing familiars, and even a few allies… but then my best friend vanished. Luna’s been missing for days and I’m freaking out. Who took her? Why? Am I to blame? Having tackled pesky ghosts and stayed one step ahead of the Magic Council, I knew my luck wouldn’t hold. The Magic Council catch me, and I’m in oodles of trouble. But then smack me on the head with a broomstick, I’m saved by Olympus Duke, Head of the Magic Council. Well, I say saved. He lands me with a hexing problem. And that problem involves possessed killer dolls and gnomes with attitude. Is he trying to get me killed? If he is, he’s not the only one. With the villagers on a witch hunt, it’s only a matter of time before I find myself on a burning pyre. Chargrilled witch, anyone? Witch Haven is my home for now, but I’m not getting any invites for tea and cake. Just how long can a hated witch survive in a place so tainted with darkness? Welcome back to Witch Haven and book two in this cozy witch paranormal mystery series, full of magic and puzzles to solve.

Curses and Corpses

2020

I didn’t think things could get any weirder in Witch Haven. How wrong I was! I’m in disguise, wearing leather pants, hiding from my friends and familiars, and getting way too comfortable spending time with someone who should be my enemy. If only Olympus Duke wasn’t so handsome. Tasked with investigating why the dead have started rising, I’m being pulled in too many directions. My best friend is still missing, and the darkness grows stronger every day. Throw in a few moldering corpses, and this witch needs a vacation. But there’s no time to rest. Especially not when I learn my best friend’s life is at risk. Just when we're making progress, everyone loses their memories, apart from me and an unhelpful cemetery guardian with a chip on her shoulder. I’m on my own again, but this time, I refuse to give up. Will I survive this final mystery, or will the corpses win and hold a marshmallow toasting celebration as I meet a fiery end? Welcome back to Witch Haven and book three in this cozy witch paranormal mystery series, full of magic and puzzles to solve. Indigo Ash finally learns more about the darkness troubling the village, but at what cost? And will she get her best friend back, get out of those tight leather pants, and call Witch Haven her home for good?

Hauntings and High Jinx

2021

Hi! My name is Odessa Grimsbane, and I love pumpkins, scarecrows, and Brodie. Oh, and delicious, powdered pumpkin candy. Let’s not forget the super-charged treats. My scarecrows are magical, my pumpkins are the best in show, and my Brodie… well, he’s dead. But not for much longer. Before I can bring back Brodie – did I mention I’m amazing at reanimation magic – I need a vessel for him to live in and to find his ghost, which has been hiding for three years. A not insignificant problem. No ghost, no reanimation, and no true love. However, defeat isn’t in this witch’s vocabulary. After all, true love only strikes once, and I’m not letting it go. No matter what it takes, I’m getting my happily ever after. If only an anxious ghost hadn’t just shown up demanding his murder be solved. And did Eldridge have to knock me over to tell me about his unhappy demise? Well, he’s about to turn into a dangerous ghoul, so time isn’t on this frustrated ghost’s side. And, good news, he agrees to find Brodie for me. So we strike a deal. I get suspect hunting, while Eldridge gets ghost hunting. Here’s hoping my pumpkin magic helps me figure out how to become an amazing sleuth because if I don’t, I’ll never find Brodie and will have to destroy Eldridge when he shifts into a lethal, out-of-control ghost ghoul. Yikes! And I thought making magically enchanted killer scarecrows was tricky. Oh! And I’m in trouble with the Magic Council, but we’ll talk about that another time. Anyone for a pumpkin and dark chocolate cookie?

The Case of the Screaming Skull

2022

Would you go head to head with a cursed skull to save your life? That’s the option dumped into my lap when I luck out and get screamed at by an evil skull. So what you ask? I get screamed at every day by my toddler wanting candy. But I ask you does his scream curse you to a painful death in seven days’ time? Thought not. I win. I’m Storm Winter, private investigator, with a reputation for taking no prisoners and demanding the answers to questions others won’t ask. My clients may be terrified of me, but I get them results. So long as they pay me. Do I love my work? No. Does it give me access to well-connected, underground contacts who help me search for my missing sister? Yes. That’s why I do it. The side cases pay the bills, so I can keep looking for Eden. She’s out there somewhere. I just know it. Back to the case in hand. I have seven days to figure out who used an ancient cursed skull to murder billionaire jinn, Delano Discord, or I’m dead, too. Was it the suppressed wife, the mistress who isn’t what she seems, the sneaky lawyer, the bitter sister, or the too happy to be true son? They’re all suspects, none of them have alibis, and I have a life-changing motivation to solve this case. Care to join me? Great. Just stay out of my way, and watch out my hulking great hellhound, Fire Fang, doesn’t tread on your toes. They may break. \\\* Welcome back to the magical world of Witch Haven. Storm Winter is jaded and broken-hearted by the loss of her sister, but she’s determined never to give up on finding her, even if a cursed skull (and other magical mysteries) get in her way! Enjoy this witch paranormal cozy mystery, featuring a troubled magic user, a sharp-tongued hellhound (who has a secret of his own), a group of amazing friends, and a mystery that’ll have you wondering who did it until the very end.

The Case of the Poisoned Pumpkin

2022

When a drowning turns out to be a poisoning and a hellhound turns out to be a mortal, you know there's trouble ahead... I survived the screaming skull, just. But now I have another case getting in the way of finding my missing sister. If only people would leave me alone... but I never let my friends down. Gaian Grimm died from a misfiring spell. At least, that's what it initially looks like. Micky Cox is the prime suspect, but then his body is dragged from Serpent Lake, and his accomplice is found on his knees with a fireball about to snuff him out. What should be a simple investigation turns into a coiled curl of confusion. Why do people keep dying? Is there a connection? And who are the masked magic users who keep following me? Throw in a poisoned pie, a long-hidden secret that'll blow apart the magic community, and the issues with my 'mortal' hellhound, and I doubt I'll get much sleep any time soon. \\\* Welcome back to the magical world of Witch Haven for your next adventure with Storm Winter, our jaded witch. She’s determined to never give up looking for her missing sister, even if a poisoned pie and a brush with powerful royals get in her way! Enjoy this witch paranormal cozy mystery, featuring a troubled magic-user, a sharp-tongued hellhound with an inability to cuss, a group of amazing friends, and a twisty mystery that’ll have you wondering who did it until the very end.

The Case of the Cursed Candy

2022

There's a new store in Witch Haven, and what the owner is selling could be the death of you... My life has always been complicated, but I've always been in control. Not anymore. I'm injured (by Fire Fang), friendless, and scared. For the first time in my life, I know pure terror. And it sucks. And to add to the weirdness, a candy store has opened in Witch Haven. It's run by the sickly sweet Sherry Brown, and everyone is obsessed with her treats. Until someone chokes to death on her candy. Galaan shouldn't have died. I was there to save him. But nothing I did worked. He turned up his toes and that was it. Or was it? Everyone thinks his death was an accident. I don't. And when I learn he left his old life and moved to Witch Haven, my witchy senses tingle. When I discover he fought with an angry half-dragon, broke up with his girlfriend, and dated Sherry, the dead guy's life (and suspicious death) gets complicated. With Fire Fang wanting to eat me as a snack, my friends ignoring me, and the Magic Council as handy as a chocolate teapot, I must deal with this mystery alone. What I uncover will rock magical foundations, change my life forever (if I survive), and mean things in Witch Haven will never be the same again. \\\* Welcome back to the magical world of Witch Haven. Storm Winter is jaded and broken-hearted by the loss of her sister, but she’s determined never to give up on finding her, even if a deadly curse (and other magical mysteries) get in her way! Enjoy this witch paranormal cozy mystery, featuring a troubled magic user, a sharp-tongued hellhound (who has a secret of his own), a group of amazing friends, and a mystery that’ll have you wondering who did it until the very end.

Fire Fang

2022

The beginning of a magical adventure, or the end of an era... I've always known magic was real. Tease me all you like for my love of magical role play games and wizard figurines, but I know there's more to life than the daily grind, the next sale, or another evening of mindless therapy. I dream about magic. And in those dreams, one witch is always there. Winter. She's the missing puzzle piece, but I have no idea how to find her. When I figure it out, our life together will be amazing. But first, I have problems to deal with. My visions, paranoia, and unexplainable ability to set fire to things are getting out of control. And If I don't get myself fixed, I'll never find my way to Winter. And where does all that weird red glitter keep coming from? There's something magical going on here, and I plan on finding out what. \\\* This is Fire Fang's origin story. Meet our handsome misfit who doesn't fit in a world with no magic. But something is coming for him. A power so dark and dangerous, nothing can save him from what he's about to become. At least nothing in his own world...

Silvaria

2022

A future that cannot be escaped, a tragic death, and a race to uncover the truth... I love pretty dresses, planning my upcoming marriage to my delectable fiancé, and figuring out how I'll become a famous dancer. Corpses do not feature in those plans. Unfortunately, my parents, the corpses, and my grave magic have other ideas! I've inherited a power I never wanted, but it wants me. And when my friend, and servant, is murdered in my home and her corpse returns with a plea for justice, I cannot ignore my power. How will I balance my dreams with my family's harsh expectations of me becoming a cemetery guardian, my fiancé's desire for me to abandon the corpses forever, and the demands of the Magic Council who are investigating (very poorly) my dear friend's murder? I will not give up on my passions, but how can I make the corpses and my parents understand that? \\\* This is Silvaria Digby's origin story. Set in a quaintly historical past in a world not far from the Witch Haven you know and love, where balls, bonnets, and carriages are all the rage. Enjoy spending time with our powerful future cemetery guardian as she tackles difficult home life, shambling bodies, and a murder that's too close to home.
