Only the Lonely

Stormy Morgan left her hometown of Shadow Hills, Michigan, with one goal: to write the great American novel and strike it rich. She sold her novel not long after college, did relatively well, and then fell off a cliff into obscurity. Now, without a book contract, she's back at her family restaurant in a one-stoplight town ... and she's convinced things couldn't possibly get worse.That feeling only lasts until her first shift, when on a trip to the storage building behind the restaurant, she literally trips over a body.Roy Axe, Shadow Hills most hated "Axehole," died a hard death only feet from the restaurant (and the second-floor apartment Stormy currently resides in). The detective on the case is none other than Hunter Ryan, Stormy's high school boyfriend, and the man who occasionally still calls to her in dreams. Hunter only cares about solving a mystery - nothing else - so their reunion is tense.In an attempt to distract herself from what's happening, Stormy and her cousin Alice get drunk one night and pull out their great-grandmother's old Ouija board, and it sets off a strange string of events, most of which seem magical ... if you believe in that sort of thing, and Stormy isn't sure she does.Stormy has trouble deciding which problem to focus on, so she avoids them all until things start blowing up in her face.Shadow Hills is a small town but the secrets that plague it run deep. Stormy is a woman - or maybe a witch - lost in a sea of magic and despair ... but murder might just lead her out of it. That is if she can survive to solve the case, that is.

Sinfully Delicious

The only witch in the world? It might feel like it to Stormy Morgan but she knows better.Twenty minutes away, in a town called Hemlock Cove, witches have taken over. Sure, the bulk of the town is made up of frauds looking to shore up their tourism industry, but there are real witches, too. There's a family, last name of Winchester, and they're notorious. Stormy wants to meet them but she has a myriad of problems darkening her doorstep.The first is Hunter Ryan, her childhood love who is back in her life and ready to take the next step, which is formal dating ... just as soon as he's given proper respect to his previous relationship. While Stormy is waiting for that to happen, she runs to the aid of customer at the family diner when the older woman collapses as she's leaving after breakfast. Before Stormy can offer even a dollop of help, though, the woman is dead and there are more questions than answers.When the cause of death is determined to be poison, Stormy and Hunter have to follow a tangled trail of clues ... and it leads them straight to the senior center. It seems the victim was a regular visitor there, and one of the better euchre players at the lauded weekly tournaments. Is that a motive for murder, though?Stormy has her hands full with out-of-control euchre madness, magic she is trying to control, and hormones that are threatening to run rampant. When she finally makes it to Hemlock Cove, her nerves threaten to get the best of her.She needs help. This is a world she doesn't understand. The truth has to come out, but is she ready? It might not matter because a murderer has marked Stormy for death. It's up to her and her motley crew of friends and family to save the day ... if they can all come together as a team.That will be easier said than done.

Caffeinated Calamity

There's a prominent threat on the block ... and he might just be sharing Stormy Morgan's roof. She's a new witch but she has a big problem ... and it talks. Her new roommate Krankle may look cute but he's a huge pain in her posterior. He's also hiding something. Before she can focus on that, however, the unthinkable happens. On the highway leading out of town, three vehicles are involved in an accident. One belongs to Harold Lautner, the former head of the senior center who went missing months before. He was presumed dead in a hunting accident, but now the truck he was driving at the time he fell off the face of the earth is front and center ... and emergency crews say there's nobody to save inside. Hunter Ryan, Stormy's boyfriend and a police officer in Shadow Hills, is chasing lead after lead but they're going nowhere ... and then things get worse. A magical shadow, the type Stormy isn't ready to fight, is taking over the town. The Winchester witches, who are eager to help, can't offer much in the way of aid because their magic is being affected by the shadow. That leaves Stormy to solve things, and she has no idea how to do it. Stormy is eager to learn but the curve is steep. Alone, she knows she will fail. That means her new friends have to pitch in and help ... including Krankle. Someone is lying. Someone is playing games. The answer to the question might be closer than it seems. Stormy has a fight on her hands. Will she survive long enough to answer all the questions, or is she doomed to disappointment ... and death?

To Love a Witch

Poet Parker put the past behind her. At least she thought she did.Life on the streets wasn't what she had in mind for her forever and she jumped at the chance to join Mystic Caravan Circus when an invitation was extended. She didn't look back.That was ten years ago, and now Poet is going back to the exact area she used to haunt ... and she's nervous.The friends she left behind are scattered. Some are dead. Some have moved on to other things. Some turned out to be something else entirely. Others simply disappeared into the wind.Unfortunately for Parker, forgetting isn't easy ... especially when a group of banshees start infringing on Mystic Caravan's territory and the creatures seemingly have ties to the people Poet left behind.Between the reapers also working the case - a crazy family called the Grimlocks who can't stay out of trouble - and the guilt weighing Poet down given the way she fled, she has her hands full.Someone is controlling the banshees, stealing girls from the streets and creating a merry band of monsters. It's up to Poet to find out who and protect two street girls who remind her of herself.Poet doesn't want to look back but she has no choice ... what she finds might be more evil than she ever imagined.

Freaky Reapers

Mystic Caravan Circus is heading to Charleston and - per usual - trouble is not far behind.For Poet Parker, who is grappling with saying goodbye to her assistant, she's looking forward to quiet nights on the beach and quality time with her boyfriend. All that changes when the sea starts giving up its dead ... and they appear to be hungry.Under normal circumstances, zombies wouldn't be a big deal. They're slow, lumbering, and easy to dispatch. This infestation is different ... and they appear to be controlled by a strange creature long since thought extinct.Gorgons were believed to be things of myth and legend but one is haunting the beaches of Charleston ... in close proximity to the circus and a writer's retreat. In fact, the nutty individuals spouting fantastical stories and trying to one-up one another in the bluff house overlooking the circus grounds are all suspects because one of them is controlling the gorgon. Finding the individual responsible for causing endless upheaval and death is no easy task, though.Poet is a fighter but this battle is all-encompassing.Not every monster is obvious. Sometimes they hide behind human faces.This time Poet is going to have to wade through layers of darkness to find the light. Surviving to see the final sunrise will take them all working together ... and even then they might not be strong enough to claim victory.Darkness is coming. Will anyone survive to see the dawn?
