“When an item is stolen, dark energy will attach to it.”
Visitors claim they feel summoned to Whispering Pines, Wisconsin, but can’t explain why. Those fortunate enough to call the Northwoods hamlet home say the same thing. Reeva Long arrived when she was eight years old, left when she was eighteen, came back after college, left again when her husband cheated on her, and returned a year ago to settle his estate after he died.
Now the kitchen witch owns Hearth & Cauldron, a quaint, cozy shop where her customers learn to make delectable dishes and find perfect pieces for their homes. When a set of vintage fluted muffin pans is stolen, she’s sure the darkness that always seems to find her has settled in again.
Rather than run, Reeva decides it’s time for a reset. She starts by asking the village witches to bless her cottage. Everything goes perfectly until an elderly witch becomes ill after enjoying a scone and a cup of tea.
Did the poor old woman’s failing heart finally give out? Were the fluted markings on those scones a coincidence? Or is something more nefarious going on? In Whispering Pines, the safe bet is always on the latter.
Hearth & Cauldron is the first book in The Hearth & Cauldron Mysteries. If you like your mysteries on the cozy side with mischievous pets, plenty of quirky characters, and a dash of paranormal you’ll love this series.

Now available!
Nixie Greene is a small, agile, clever thief. In the fallen kingdom of Sybettal, the most valuable treasures aren’t made up of gold, silver, or jewels, but basic necessities. Nixie and her adoptive mother enjoy their peaceful life of scavenging until the neighboring kingdom of Ashbourne begins to dig their claws into their last natural resource—their people.
As the citizens of Sybettal are being coerced into joining the Ashbourne military under the promise of hot meals and shelter, a band of rebels rise with their own plan to aid their kingdom. Rumors are circulating that the infant princess of Sybettal didn’t perish twenty years ago, meaning that a new monarchy could be established if she was found. But where do you find a hidden princess who was adopted as an infant and has unusual hair? It would seem that the red-headed Nixie has a few new suitors she must now address.
What’s a thief to do when the greatest treasure in the kingdom is her own hand in marriage? Kidnappings, hunts, and deceivingly friendly faces all threaten to force Nixie into a crown she never wanted. Only one man actually seems to want to help her; however, he appears to harbor a few secrets of his own…
Can Nixie find the truth behind her past before her future is redefined? Or will she be robbed of her family once again?

A determined mermaid, the powerless son of a magic-wielding line…two worlds never meant to collide
In spite of being a nameless orphan, Merletta is determined to win the prestigious rank of record holder. And she has no intention of letting a little thing like universal disdain stop her.
Lord Heath knows nothing of mermaids, but coming from the noble House of Dragonfriend, he’s no stranger to magic. Except, in spite of having a dragon for a best friend, Heath is the only magic-less member of his family. Not that he covets the power around him. All he wants is to defuse the growing tension between the power-wielders and their royal cousins.
These two worlds couldn’t be further removed…until Heath’s search for solutions takes him to the forgotten island of Vazula. Now the kingdoms of both land and sea are set on a new current, one which will carry both Heath and Merletta beyond the limit of everything they thought they knew. Because with someone underwater trying to do much worse than push Merletta from the program, and someone on land targeting Heath’s family, the insurmountable barriers keeping Heath and Merletta apart might just be the least of their problems.
A Kingdom Submerged is the first book in The Vazula Chronicles, a YA fantasy series of four installments, which should be read in order. In addition to irritatingly inscrutable dragons, the series features a clean slow burn romance between a mermaid and a reluctantly magical human.

Traitors don’t fall in love with princes, and they don’t live happily ever after.
If there’s only one thing Liora knows about life, it’s this: family is everything. Liora doesn’t mind the drudgery of selling her stepsister’s enchanted matches in the market. Someone has to, and it’s how Liora can provide for them. It’s just not very exciting—until the royal family visits the market and everything goes sideways.
Liora is grateful that Prince Cynrik doesn’t remember her. The best thing for her and her stepfamily is to stay far away from the royals. But when Prince Cynrik asks for her help, how can she say no? But if she fails to keep her identity hidden, how far will the royal family go this time?
Prince Cynrik has a carefully crafted reputation, and it has never once failed him… up until it causes his brother to threaten him with an arranged marriage. The only way out of it is to prove he’s capable of doing something useful; the catch is he has to do it alone.
When a freak accident seems to be not-so-accidental, getting help can’t hurt as long as his brother doesn’t find out about it. Besides, who would imagine that a prince would need the help of a girl who sold matches to solve a conspiracy? And… just how deep does it go?
Cinders of Glass, a reimagining that combines Cinderella and The Little Match Girl, is the fourth in the Bewitching Fairy Tales Series, a series of interconnected fairy tale retellings that are best enjoyed together but can be read separately.

Beatrice becomes pulled in since one of Lester’s children is a quilting friend of hers. Can Beatrice figure out who killed Lester before someone else takes a notion to murder?
