À Court de Magie

Lorsque les sœurs Arden sont sollicitées pour saupoudrer un peu de magie sur le Festival annuel d'Halloween de Forkbridge, elles ne s'attendent à rien de plus effrayant que des concours de costumes et des citrouilles sculptées. Mais la célébration fantasmagorique prend un tournant sinistre quand Ayla découvre le corps du conseiller municipal Marcus Clinton, mis en scène de façon macabre dans un cercueil décoratif devant l'hôtel de ville.

Avec Forkbridge transformée en carnaval de costumes, il est presque impossible de distinguer les farceurs inoffensifs des meurtriers potentiels. Entre une flash mob de zombies, des bruits étranges dans la mairie, et une femme qui arpente les rues déguisée en déesse Athéna, il y a trop d'informations et trop peu d'indices.

Astra et ses sœurs pourront-elles démêler les couches du déguisement du tueur et le démasquer avant qu'il ne se fonde dans la normalité ? Ou les costumes élaborés du festival dissimuleront-ils le véritable visage du mal qui rôde parmi eux ?

Le temps presse, et c'est bien plus qu'un simple jeu de farces ou friandises !

Magic’s A Hoot

When Astra Arden returns to Forkbridge, Florida, she's not sure what to expect. But her mother, the high priestess of the goddess Athena, is beginning to relax, her three sisters are becoming more at ease with her, and even her divine talking owl, Archie, is settling in.

Things seem to be going well until Gloria Fisher comes in for a reading. Gloria suspects her alcoholic husband, Will, is cheating on her, but Astra soon discovers that the "divine logic" behind the situation is much more complicated.

When a painting Will insured goes missing, Detective Emma Sullivan of the Forkbridge Police Department suspects he might be involved in the scheme. Now, with the help of her divine owl Archie, Astra must find the painting, clear Will's name, and keep his whole life policy in force.

Can Astra save the day? Or will William Fisher's accidental death insurance pay out? Find out in the Owl Star Witch Mysteries' third book, Magic's a Hoot, a humorous paranormal cozy mystery that will keep you guessing until the final page.

Crystals, Belladonna, and Murder

A cantankerous former mayor
A dead man with a secret.
A midlife magic gift with a murder mystery that keeps you guessing.

When forty-nine year old Eleanor Rockwell was laid off from her soul-crushing corporate job, she moved a few miles north of Austin with her daughter, Evie, and opened Silver Circle Cat Rescue in the small town of Tablerock, Texas.

Five years later, SCCR is Wildebridge County's largest shelter for lost kitties, so it's no surprise when Deputy Markham brings Belladonna—former mayor Fiona Blackwell's cat—to the shelter after she's arrested for murdering her husband, Beau. But why, Eleanor wonders, did the Deputy bring a silver drink tray with the sullen cat—and why is Belladonna talking when she walks on it?

Something strange is going on in Tablerock, and Eleanor is determined to get to the bottom of it. Can she unravel the mystery before it's too late, or will she fall victim to the town's sinister spell?

A Hoot and A Hex

The Ides of March bring mayhem and magic when Astra Arden and her sisters host the Roman-themed festival of Hilaria in Forkbridge. But the revelry comes screeching to a halt when Councilwoman Viola Tullus is found dead, entombed in concrete like a modern-day Roman building sacrifice.

With angry accusations flying as swiftly as Archie, Astra must sift through a myriad of motives to cement the truth. Could the killer be a disgruntled citizen seeking revenge against the controversial councilwoman? Was her desire to bulldoze family farms to make way for new developments simply too much for someone to bear?

Between keeping the festival running smoothly, managing her annoyed owl, and juggling her romantic relationship with the werewolf, Astra has her hands full. And with a clever killer masking themselves in the festival crowds, danger lurks around every toga-draped corner.

Can Astra catch the killer before Forkbridge falls like the Roman Empire? Or will the dark deeds continue under the cover of festivity? Find out in this delightful tale filled with twists, turns, and a talon-ful of trouble.
