Perfect Pending
2020
She comes from a bloodline of powerful witches. But for Marla, magic seems to have skipped a generation.
Over forty, recently divorced, and with two teenagers, starting over back in my hometown seemed like my best option. I had no idea what I was in for.
Well, I should have.
Only those with powers can enter Gales Haven. And I haven’t found mine.
Until now.
Mastering your abilities can take years. I don’t have that kind of time. From the moment I arrived in town, things have gone to hell in a hand basket.
It’s up to me and the magical creatures in my head to save our city. Before my ex mother-in-law redecorates the town in pink and breaks the centuries old spell that keeps it safe and hidden.

Magical Mayhem
2020
Marla figured returning to her small hometown would be the start of a simple life—albeit one with magic.
She figured wrong.
Magic was part of the deal, but the new role assigned to her wasn’t. What does she know about detecting?
Nothing at all, a fact made plainly obvious during her first day on the job.
What do a foul-mouthed leprechaun and Spanx have in common? Marla is about to find out...

#3
Charmed Caper
2020
Not a day over fabulous.
Marla Gawama is the new detective of Gales Haven.
She knows nothing about sleuthing, but her nan assigned her the job, and what Bessie Gawama wants, she gets.
Marla does her best to carry out her new detective doo-ties. She even dons her comfortable running shoes and sets out to get ’er done.
But when some bumbling bumpkins show up in town, and Haveners start losing their marbles left and right, it becomes clear she’s not cut out for the job.
That never stopped a Gawama witch before.
And she isn’t going to let it stop her now.
One thing the Gawamas know how to do is ride with the crazy.

Smexy Shenanigans
2021
Luanne and Shawna Gawama head out of Gales Haven for a spontaneous day of adventurous fun. They expect to drink a little too much and dance the night away. Definitely to forget about all the trouble that’s befallen their hometown since their niece Marla’s return.
Instead, they run smack dab into trouble worse than any Spanx-pilfering leprechauns or back-talking hedgehogs. The kind of trouble not even their powerful family is prepared to face.
But these redheads know how to weather storms. And they do it together.
When strangers test the borders of their safe village, the Gawama witches aren’t ready to take them on—but that won’t stop them from kicking ass however they can. They’re resourceful and they don’t give a hoot what anyone thinks of them—a fiery combination. They have better things to worry about, like discovering the best glazed doughnuts and surviving the bond of sisterhood.
\* Smexy Shenanigans is a novella in the Witches of Gales Haven series told from Aunt Luanne Gawama's point of view. The story takes place chronologically between book 3, Charmed Caper, and book 5, Homecoming Hijinks. It can be read as a standalone, though it's funnest to read it between books 3 and 5.

Homecoming Hijinks
2021
Not a day over fabulous.
Just when Marla Gawama thinks she might be getting the hang of her detective doo-ties, the universe has to go and prove her wrong.
The town of Gales Haven is highly eccentric—part of its charm—so Marla is no stranger to quirks.
But when the townsfolk start acting odder than usual, Marla realizes something is up. The friendly gigolo Danny isn’t the only one to make shmexy rounds to entertain the locals. And even the talking mouse who terrorizes the kitchen of Gawama Mama House is proving to be a horn-dog.
Since she’s stuck with the role of town detective, it’s up to her to figure out what the hell is going on and to return Haveners to their usual level of strangeness—not too much, just right. Though a town full of leg-humping witches and wizards is pretty funny…
Every good Gawama knows: “If you can’t fight the crazy, love the crazy.” And Marla is a Gawama witch through and through.
Homecoming Hijinks is a Paranormal Women’s Fiction novel. If you love snarky stories with women so empowered they’re a force to be reckoned with, then you’ll love the Witches of Gales Haven series.

Mischievous Manor
2023
Marla survived another mad caper, one she solved by the skin of her teeth. Her ankle might never be the same after all that creature humping, and there are some Haveners she’ll never be able to look at the same, but at least no one’s in love with her who doesn’t want to be. She only has the one boyfriend now, and Quade Contonn is more than enough wizard for her. In fact, he’s the perfect fit. After decades apart, reuniting with her first love couldn’t be going better. At this point, you’d think she’d have earned herself a little vacay from all of Gales Haven’s kooky problems. But nope. Not a chance. The ancestral Gawama home is being rowdier than usual, clamoring for Marla’s attention at every turn. When the bewitched house unleashes a whole host of problems, and very vocal ones at that, Marla knows she’s in for a heaping, screeching serving of trouble. She’s never in the mood for detecting, but this time? Marla also has her own personal ... complication to deal with, and this one’s here to stay. Who said your forties are too late to start over? Hopefully no one, because for Marla, starting over is the only way to go.
