The Bad Apple Witch
AJ’s latest vision shows a witch poisoning a man dressed in Renaissance garb. As the troupe of actors coming to put on one of Shakespeare’s plays won’t travel to Milltown until the end of the week, AJ and Roland decide that they can still take their vacation safely.
Only to discover when AJ and Roland arrive that the troupe hasn’t left the mountain resort town. And that a witch travels with them.

However, the murderous leader of this coven lacks any remorse.
And it takes only one bad apple to spoil the entire barrel.

Fortunately, AJ has friends (as well as other witches) she can rely on solve not just the current murder, but a whole slew of them. As well as an entire oceanside community full of quirky characters who are also more than willing to help.
Come enjoy AJ finally finding her place, and maybe, perhaps, a sustainable living situation with Roland, her lover.

A cozy mystery novel. With magic. And MEAT.
The sherif classifies a young man’s tragic death as a suicide…

Then one of the judges for the contest dies under mysterious circumstances.
Was the judge killed by the same person? Or are the murders completely separate? And can Las Chicas solve not one, but two crimes while still cooking up their award-winnings meats?

What’s Coming
How to Wake a Sleeping Princess (No-Spice and Spicy Editions)
A cozy fantasy romantic retelling of Sleeping Beauty.
When the royal nursemaids keep falling asleep while holding baby Princess Daphne, the court finds it charming.
Until they realize she’s cursed.
By her eighteenth birthday, anyone who comes within ten paces of Daphne collapses into a deep sleep. Self-exiled to a lonely tower, she resigns herself to a life of occasional correspondence, books, and distant dreams.
Then he arrives.
The son of the fairy who cursed her. He claims that he can break the spell. His price?
If Daphne falls in love with him, she can never tell him.
It sounds like an easy promise—until it isn’t. Because some curses are easier to bear than their breaking.
And if freedom means losing him, is it worth waking up at all?
How to Wake a Sleeping Princess is a funny, lighthearted, cozy-fantasy romance with both a spicy and a no-spice edition and a happily-ever-after.
