Owl is Calm

A wellness retreat for the magically exhausted.
A guru floating in a sensory tank.
A "relaxing" weekend that’s anything but zen.

After fighting an elf for the soul of her sister, Astra Arden is ready for a nap. Her sister Althea, fresh from a dimensional kidnapping, needs serious R&R. The solution? A girls' weekend at Serenity Springs. It’s supposed to be all lavender mists, crystal grids, and silence... until that silence is shattered by a scream.

When the retreat’s charismatic guru is found floating face-down in a sensory deprivation tank, the "no stress" policy is officially void. Trapped behind wards that dampen their magic to ensure "deep healing," Astra and her sisters must root out a killer among the zen-obsessed guests without their usual powers.

With Lothian trying to smuggle in contraband caffeine and Archie engaging in a turf war with the retreat’s peacock mascot, Astra has to find the truth before her relaxing getaway becomes a permanent vacation.

Scruffy, Straatkatten en Schurkenstreken

Een getekende kater met vertrouwensproblemen.
Een pitmaster dood aangetroffen naast zijn smoker.
Een groep zwerfkatten met geheimen die heter zijn dan een Texaanse zomer.

De zomer houdt Tablerock, Texas in een wurggreep. Terwijl de hitte in Wildebridge County oploopt tot recordhoogtes en de airco van de Silver Circle kattenopvang zijn laatste adem uitblaast, heeft Ellie Rockwell-Rogers haar handen vol. Ze ontfermt zich over een pas ontdekte kolonie wilde katten aan de rand van de stad: een rommelig zootje ongeregeld onder leiding van Scruffy, een kater met forse wangen die mensen net zover vertrouwt als hij een haarbal kan spugen.

Maar wanneer Hank Dawson, de legendarische pitmaster van Tablerock en eigenaar van Dawson’s Low & Slow BBQ, dood wordt gevonden naast zijn geliefde smoker op de ochtend van de jaarlijkse Smoke, Sizzle & Sweat barbecue-wedstrijd, verandert het territorium van de kolonie in een plaats delict. Scruffy weet meer dan hij loslaat, maar een wilde kater aan het praten krijgen – zelfs met de hulp van de magische kristallen van Silver Circle – is een bijna onmogelijke opgave.

Terwijl Ellie en de rest van de bende in de rokerige onderwereld van de genadeloze barbecue-scene van Tablerock duiken, ontdekken ze dat de rivaliteit over rubs en recepten dieper kan snijden dan een vleesmes… en dat iemand bereid is te moorden om zijn geheimen van de kaart te houden.

Weet Ellie het vertrouwen van Scruffy te winnen en de zaak op te lossen voordat de moordenaar het vuur weer opstookt? Of zal de waarheid in rook opgaan?

Mystic Guests

A new beginning in an old town.
A punk ghost raging in the middle of the night.
She wanted to get away from the paranormal—but did she wake it up instead?

Fortuna's plans to open an art studio while searching out her mysterious origins are derailed when she discovers a punk ghost raging against her in the middle of the night. As his bones are unearthed along with the town's secrets, she is determined to find out who killed the mohawked teen and why. At least, if she can do it without tipping her hand to the townspeople that she's a witch.

Between the hot detective that suspects she's a con-woman up to no good, the smolderingly sexy manager of the local greyhound track that seems to be full of secrets, and a conspiracy theorist reporter determined to enlist Fortuna in her war against the town's corruption, Fortuna's life is becoming more complicated than an Escher painting. And she could be unknowingly related to any of them.

Will Fortuna be able to find out who murdered the ghost in her attic, or will Mystic's End unearth her secrets instead?
