Pyewacket

LATEST RELEASE!

Tolling Bells & Dark Spells

Starting over is never easy . . . but this time, it’s positively murderous.

After Windsor Ebonwood’s love life and successful career as a book conservator vanish in one fell swoop, she’s determined to begin anew. Win moves to Darkly Island off the coast of Louisiana, where she’s been bequeathed an unusual bookshop and a charming home on the edge of a dark swamp.

Win gets to work settling into her new life in the sleepy Southern town, but discovering Darkly’s heartless town alderman impaled on a gravestone wasn’t on the books. Nor was finding out about her family’s legacy as powerful witches responsible for protecting the bookshop at all costs.

While she is coming to terms with her powers, a new friend is accused of the murder and Win is convinced the allegation doesn’t ring true. She and her one-eyed cat familiar, Pyewacket—who has his own secrets to hide—step in to investigate. Between an irresistible Alpha shifter and long buried family secrets, Win begins to realize there are more than fireflies and alligators lurking in the swamp.

Win will need to work fast because the killer is not done with their murderous rampage. And the questions Win’s asking are hitting too close to home for the killer’s comfort…

If you enjoy paranormal cozy mysteries spiced with jasmine-scented, sultry nights, don’t miss Tolling Bells & Dark Spells, Book One in A Darkly Southern Mystery series.

Falling Leaves & Vile Deeds

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 Fall Festival—a weekend of music, autumn ales, and caramel dipped apples. 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 cozy mysteries seasoned with pumpkin-spiced, crisp mornings, don’t miss Falling Leaves & Vile Deeds, Book Two in A Darkly Southern Mystery series.

Corpse Bride & Haunted Ride

Step into a world of voodoo and shadow on All Hallows’ Eve . . . when the living and the undead collide, and few are as they seem.

Every year, the town of Darkly gathers at Cornelia ‘Conny’ Verity's plantation house, Fleur-de-Lis, to celebrate All Hallows' Eve in grand style. Windsor Ebonwood can’t wait to attend with her best friends, Tzazi Strangeland and Jessamin Wilde, especially since Jess has booked them a phantom horse and carriage for a pre-party ride through the haunted forests surrounding the old mansion. The Darkly woodlands are always teeming with supernatural creatures, however on this night of all nights, much more than the usual ghosts, ghouls, and loup-garou are prowling about, thrilled to be in the world of the living until dawn breaks.

When the living corpse of Conny’s daughter Zeela, who died a year ago this very night, crashes the party, the festive occasion quickly becomes one of terror, and even Win’s boyfriend, alpha wolfshifter Keir Bane, can’t protect her from the evil that has invaded the celebration. Win teams up with Azalea Strangeland, a powerful voodoo shadow-woman, to send Zeela back to her grave before the zombie is doomed to an eternity as an undead being. But someone is working to thwart the completion of the ritual. And when a second body is discovered, whose death appears to have been the result of a zombie attack, Win and friends double down to find the killer and return Zeela to the grave.

If you enjoy paranormal cozy mysteries full of tricks and treats and things that go bump in the night, don’t miss Corpse Bride & Haunted Ride, Book Three in A Darkly Southern Mystery series.
