Witch Cozy Mysteries with Depth
Magic is real. Murder is messy.
I write cozy mysteries with a twist—stories where intuition matters, magic has consequences, and every mystery goes deeper than it first appears.
You’ll find witches who use magic for real transformation, sleuths navigating the uncanny and the unseen, and characters you want to hang out with.

New Release! BIG DEAL
A glamorous poker tournament, buried secrets...and one very dead player.
Welcome to the glittering farce of Hot Springs, where the bluffs are epic, the tells are transparent, and murder is just another risky wager.
All Alice wants is to resurrect her bodyguarding career and stop running surveillance for a sexy Reno PI who's one shaky hunch from early retirement. But when one of their ex-clients is murdered, Alice crashes the case—whether her boss wants her to or not.
Problem: Alice’s small-town mayor is hosting a poker game of his own. And wouldn't you know it, an old enemy from Alice's past has slithered into the game. The stakes are high, the alibis are low, and one bad bluff could be deadly...
BIG DEAL is book four in the Big Murder Mystery series. Get cozy with this hilarious small-town mystery today!
