Falling Leaves & Vile Deeds

Nothing says Fall like hot apple cider, cozy warm fires, and murder by pumpkin!

Windsor Ebonwood is looking forward to Darkly Island’s upcoming Fête du Gombo (or Gumbo Fest as it is known by locals)—a weekend of music, autumn ales, caramel dipped apples, and, of course, huge pots of gumbo. And with hunky alpha shifter Keir Bane on her arm, what could go wrong, right? Quite a bit, Win finds out, when a trip to the local pumpkin farm results in her stumbling onto the dead body of the farmer, suffocated by one of his own prize-winning pumpkins.

If that isn’t enough, when the magistrate summoned to rule on Win’s half-sister Elspeth’s lawsuit is killed, the residents of Darkly wonder uneasily if the murders are connected and, if so, who might be next. Win and her friends vow to stay out of it and let Darkly’s new lead detective do his job. But when Elspeth is arrested and begs for her sister’s help in clearing her name, Win finds she can’t resist.

She may regret her decision, however, when a long-held Ebonwood family secret is exposed and she wonders whether she ever really knew herself—or her family—at all.

If you enjoy paranormal mysteries seasoned with pumpkin-spiced, crisp mornings, don’t miss Falling Leaves & Vile Deeds, Book Two in A Darkly Southern Mystery series.

UPCOMING RELEASES!

Christmas Carols & Yuletide Perils

Curl up with a cup of cocoa in a magical town where the carols might be sweet, but the perils are downright bitter.

In the enchanting town of Darkly, where magic glimmers like frost on magnolia leaves, witch and travel bookshop owner Windsor Ebonwood is dreaming of a cozy Christmas filled with carols, cocoa, candlelight, and, of course, one swoony alpha shifter. But when the annual Cold Moon Gala ends with a gruesome murder—an eerie signature reminiscent of the legendary Christmas Witch, Frau Perchta—Win's holiday plans take a sinister turn.

As whispers of Perchta’s monstrous minions swirl through the swampy mist, Win and her supernatural sleuthing circle follow the trail like fireflies through the fog. But the holiday horror escalates when a second victim—one of Win’s dearest friends—is found murdered in the same gruesome manner. Yuletide cheer turns to dread, casting a shadow even over the ancient magic that once kept Darkly safe. But in a town where magic runs deep and old grudges run deeper, nothing is as it seems. Can Win solve the mystery before the killer strikes again, or will Darkly's Yuletide season be forever marred by deadly perils?

Brimming with quirky charm, holiday romance, and spine-tingling suspense, Christmas Carols & Yuletide Perils is a magical mystery that will keep you turning pages well past midnight. Curl up with a cup of cocoa and prepare for a holiday adventure where the carols may be sweet, but the perils are all too real.

If you enjoy mysteries sprinkled with frost-kissed, magical nights, don't miss Christmas Carols & Yuletide Perils, Book Three in A Darkly Southern Mystery series.

Postcards, Paws, & a Poison Pen

Postcards, Paws, & a Poison Pen

When vintage Christmas cards reveal scandalous secrets, Sela Sand and her lovable pup Grimmy must deliver justice—before the holiday spirit is stamped out for good!

In the picturesque Southern coastal town of Sugarberry Shores, the holidays are a magical time. Twinkling lights line the boardwalk, carolers fill the air with song, and Sela Sand’s quaint sea glass studio is bustling with last-minute gift shoppers. But when mysterious poison pen letters disguised as vintage Christmas postcards begin showing up in mailboxes, the season’s cheer turns to suspicion.

The anonymous cards accuse beloved townsfolk of shocking past misdeeds—and when one lands in the hands of Sela’s elderly neighbor, the accusations hit too close to home. Determined to protect her friend and the close-knit community she loves, Sela—along with her shaggy Newfoundland sidekick, Grimmy—teams up with Sugarberry’s charming but no-nonsense new detective, Sawyer Darcy.

As Sela uncovers the tangled stories behind the postcards, she unearths long-buried secrets about the town’s past and faces threats from someone desperate to keep the truth hidden. Between dodging suspicious glances at the local Christmas market, navigating a growing attraction to Sawyer, and keeping Grimmy out of trouble, Sela has her hands full. Can she solve the mystery and save the holiday spirit before the poison pen strikes again?

Perfect for fans of heartwarming holiday tales, quirky characters, and cozy mysteries with a touch of romance, Postcards, Paws, & a Poison Pen is the ultimate sleuthing escape for the season!
