Here’s the set-up:

Killer leprechaun or drunken ramblings of the tavern fool?

It’s St. Patrick’s Day and trouble’s a-brewing in Bigfoot Bay.
When a body is found floating in a vat of green beer at the local Irish pub, Samm Hain (aka reluctant witch extraordinaire) can’t help but get charmed into the case.

After all, she’s stuck in a town named after a hairy beast with her fiancé-turned frog – what else has she got to do?

Besides, she might have been the last one to see Old Man Callahan alive…

** Bewitched Brew is the second book in the Bigfoot Bay Witches cozy mystery series. It’s not necessary to read book one first as each book has its own mystery. But due to the overarching storyline, it’d be more fun to catch up afterward! **

Here’s the set-up:

Amy Lewis is on her way to her grandma’s house. She’s being chased by a very bad wolf.

Galaxies away Loki, Norse God of Mischief and Chaos, is waking up in a prison cell, strangely without a hangover, and with no idea what he’s done wrong—this time anyway. He does know Thor is hiding something, Odin is up to something wicked, and there seems to be something he’s forgotten…

Amy’s and Loki’s fates are about to collide. They’ll have to work together to defeat gods, elves, magic sniffing cats, and nosy neighbors. If Loki can remember what he’s forgotten, and Amy can convince him not to be too distracted by Earthly gadgets, Earthly pleasures, or three day benders, they just might pull it off…

This first installment of the USA TODAY bestselling I Bring the Fire is for anyone who suspects chaos and mischief makers might have their own redeeming qualities, and anyone who just wants a good fantasy romp through modern Earth, ancient Asgard, and beyond!

Here’s the set-up:

In a heartbeat, Professor Peter Bristol’s obsessively-ordered life is turned completely upside down.

During his weekly walk on the beach, he is helpless to prevent a young woman in a bridal gown from being swept out to the sea.

Was she real? Or was she the product of unresolved grief for his late wife?

As he embarks upon a mission to find the answers, he uncovers a plot of murder and deceit at the university where he teaches–a nexus of evil far deeper and darker than anything he could have imagined.

The woman in the waves was only the beginning.
