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

Autumn has arrived in Darkly Island, and Windsor Ebonwood is ready for gumbo, caramel apples, and cozy nights with her wolf-shifter beau. But when a local farmer is found smothered by a prize pumpkin and a visiting magistrate drops dead soon after, the town’s fall festivities turn deadly. Win vows to keep out of it—until her half-sister Elspeth is arrested for murder. As secrets rot beneath the surface, Win digs into her own family’s tangled past. In a town where even pumpkins have a dark side, can she uncover the truth before another soul is lost to the harvest.

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.

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

Windsor Ebonwood is ready for a magical Christmas in Darkly—carols, cocoa, and cozy nights with her swoony shifter beau. But when a body is found at the Cold Moon Gala, murdered in a chilling echo of the Christmas Witch Perchta’s legend, Win’s holiday turns grim. As rumors of Perchta’s return swirl and a second victim—one of Win’s closest friends—is discovered, festive cheer gives way to fear. With magic thick as mist and old grudges rising, Win must unravel the truth before the killer strikes again. In Darkly, the carols may be sweet, but this Christmas, the perils are deadly.

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
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 Christmas-obsessed Sugarberry Shores, sea-glass artist Sela Sand and her bear-sized Newfoundland, Grimmy, discover vintage Christmas postcards bearing poison-pen messages targeting Miss Merry Sugarberry pageant contestants. With the Christmas Market in chaos, Sela reluctantly teams up with the town's new police chief, Sawyer Darcy. Between peppermint lattes and clandestine rehearsals, they follow a trail of mistle-clues that's as charming as it is cutthroat. As Sugarberry races toward their cherished tree-lighting ceremony, the notes turn nastier and Sela discovers that in a town where every bow is perfectly tied, someone's willing to ruin Christmas to win. Warm, witty, and whisker-twitching with seaside sparkle and slow-burn romance.
