Book Description
Flying solo at a wedding. A poisoned guest. Suddenly a suspect. Finally fitting into the small town of Myrtleglen, Kat is thrilled when she’s invited to a wedding, and hopes a certain landscaper will be there. But as she makes small talk with a fellow single gal at the reception, her hopes of romance are dashed when the woman collapses after vomiting all over Kat’s shoes. When it turned out the woman died in hospital, Kat becomes a suspect for the murder, even though she’d known the victim for all of five minutes. Scrutiny from the regular law was one thing, but as a registered magic user with a flare for all things botanical, Kat had to evade the attention of the magical Inquisition. And with the imminent launch of her nursery venture, clearing her name before her mug shot made it into the paper had to be the number one priority. Getting the jump on the surly detective on the case wasn't so hard.. But getting to the bottom of the murder was going to be tougher than Kat thought. Finding the motive to murder someone she barely knew would take all the magical and mundane resources she could get her hands on.

Troll eradication may not be on Gretchen’s resume, but strapped for cash, she’s prepared to try her hand at bounty hunting. And maybe a stray love potion while she’s at it. Without a decent payday in months, she's close to calling it quits, and if she doesn’t come through, her reputation (and the prospect of more customers) will be ruined. Between an insolent spell book, an old friend too sick to run her favorite tavern and a new guy in town who is the object of every maiden’s desire, Gretchen scrambles to keep everyone happy. Trip trap, trip trap, this troll packs a mighty punch. A potion cocktail has unintended side effects with massive ramifications and Gretchen has no idea how she did it. If she doesn’t fix it, she’ll be forced to hang up her witches hat and serve drinks for the rest of her days. Check out these witchy short reads each month for a new spin on a classic tale.

Christmas back home in Arkansas sounded like a chance to put my feet up for a few weeks. Little did I know that a magical calamity would threaten the big day. You know the real kicker?

With a new werewolf beau in her life, half the town of Tumbling Springs were whispering behind Mom’s back, the loudest of them a hex witch with a nasty view of weres. On the other hand, a new business rival in the next town over had Mom’s healing services on the rocks. The question was—did either witch have enough motive to do something as awful as all that to Mom?

The last three instalments in this hilarious high fantasy witch series all wrapped up in a neat bundle. The Head of the Horseman Getting waylaid in the forest by a headless horseman wasn’t what Gretchen was expecting in the dead of night, and she’s on a mission to get her hat back from this ghostly thief. And evict her new houseguest while she’s at it. Nora has given up her position with the baron, and has grandiose plans of taking up a seat on the Witches Council. Gretchen doesn’t have the heart to tell her it’s a long shot, but can’t put up with her crowding up the cottage indefinitely. The Kingmaker’s Sword Gretchen always knew her trusty infinity pouch held a world full of secrets, but she didn’t imagine she was carrying around a relic that could bring down a kingdom. Or that it would land her into a boiling pot where she ends up a fugitive from the witches and wizards alike. But standing accused of a shocking crime she didn’t commit, this witch refuses to give in. Queen Mab’s Castle The glimmer of a portal in the sky is too much to resist when Gretchen finds herself feeling old and frumpy. And on the other side it’s all booze and parties. Then she finds someone who looks a lot like Aunt Esme, and all thoughts of a bender are pushed aside. Fleeing into the fairy forest, Gretchen learns she’s stumbled into Queen Mab’s realm, and is now the fox fleeing the hounds. For lighthearted fun with fickle moments of tragedy and feel good moments, join Gretchen on her travels in this final boxed set. You can't help but cheer for this purveyor of potions, unlikely champion of the downtrodden, and all round good samaritan of the magical world.
