Eine Eule zum Träumen

Für die Hexe Astra Arden ist das Leben als Frischvermählte fast perfekt. Ein bisschen zu perfekt. Sogar ihr frecher Eulen-Vertrauter, Archie, wird misstrauisch.

Nach dem Chaos ihrer Hochzeit ist Astra bereit für etwas Ruhe, doch statt Chaos erlebt Forkbridge eine Welle von … glückseligen Abschieden. Einer nach dem anderen verschwinden die Einwohner über Nacht und hinterlassen nur fröhliche Nachrichten darüber, wie sie ihre kühnsten Träume verfolgen. Es ist ein Rätsel ohne Opfer, ein Verbrechen ohne Täter und eine Stadt, die von Tag zu Tag leerer wird.

Als Astras eigene Schwester die Nächste ist, die einem mysteriösen magischen Ruf folgt, wird die Sache persönlich. Astra spürt eine uralte, verführerische Macht am Werk – eine, die niemanden verletzen will; sie will nur jeden Wunsch erfüllen … für immer.

Jetzt muss Astra einen Fall lösen, bei dem das einzige Verbrechen darin besteht, alles zu bekommen, was man sich je gewünscht hat.

Owl’s Fair

Astra Arden had never expected to come back to Florida—let alone embark on a new career with a talking owl sidekick and a goddess who knew when someone was about to die. But when Alice Windrow, a philanthropic young woman from the small town of Forkbridge, comes to her sister Ami for a card reading, Astra's life takes a turn for the unexpected.

Alice claims she just wants assurance that her marathon will go off without a hitch—but the glowing star card reveals that someone wants her dead. Can Astra and her sister unravel the plot in time to save Alice? Or will the generous girl find her marathon is officially over—for good?

The Owl Star Witch Mysteries are a wild ride full of twists, turns, and clues—and enough magical mayhem to make even the most hardened witch laugh out loud. Follow Astra and her talking owl, Archie, on a journey of magical misadventures, and see if they can save Alice from her doom.

Fairy Tales, Fruitcake, and Murder

It’s Christmas in Tablerock, Texas! The cat-rescuing mother-daughter duo of Ellie and Evie Rockwell just want to find some cats their forever homes for the holidays. Instead, they find themselves solving a real-life Christmas mystery straight out of a storybook.

When the town’s beloved librarian, Alice Grey, is found bludgeoned to death by a fruitcake at the start of the Christmas season, it shatters the community’s tranquility. What’s more, it leaves the librarian’s lone cat, Ginger, alone and bewildered at the Silver Circle Cat Rescue for the holidays. But once the marmalade-colored cat pleads for their help solving its owner’s strange Christmas murder, they are quickly tangled up in a mystery as twisted as any fairy tale.

As they navigate a plot as twisted as any Dickens’ story Alice Grey eagerly quoted, mother-daughter cat rescuers Ellie and Evie Rockwell discover the demure librarian had managed to accumulate an enemies list as towering as the shelves of books she so lovingly maintained.

Will Ellie and Evie solve the murder before the final page is turned?
