About Magic, Mistletoe, & Murder: A Suburban Witch Mystery Prequel Story (Suburban Witch Mysteries)

Meet the witches of Country Acres Coven, Kensleigh Landing East, where the suburbs and the supernatural just happen to overlap.

Mischa, Ellie, and Poe are more than just best friends and neighbors—they also form a coven of witches living right in the middle of a sleepy suburban town in North Carolina. They make the perfect neighborhood watch and always have an eye on what’s going on in their town. So, when a blonde bombshell with a mysterious past moves in, they’re understandably curious. Especially when, hours later, another neighbor drops dead.

Did their new neighbor murder their old one? Or did someone else want grumpy Edith Whitlow dead?

It’s up to the witches to solve Edith’s murder, but with PTA meetings, full-time jobs, and two talking cats underfoot, can they catch the culprit in time for their annual Christmas party?

If you’re a fan of funny witches and (sometimes) desperate housewives, you’ll love this!

This is a short, fun read that introduces the characters in the Suburban Witch series. This short origin story originally appeared in the anthology, ‘Spells and Jinglebells’.

About Christmas Comes to the Tritowns

Welcome back to the Lyonsville, Fern Valley and Friedman, three sleepy villages where the Amish and English live together most of the time peacefully. Something odd is going on in the Tritowns. As the lodge, the Ladies’ Auxiliary and the sheriffs all try to prepare for a normal holiday season, Christmas trees start showing up, all seemingly indexed to the places they are left. The Bark has new members, old friends show up for the holidays and can’t we just have peace and quiet long enough to open packages?

What people are saying about the Tritowns series (Fiber Mavens, Melody’s Zoo and The Fern Valley Fur Family Mysteries):
“ It’s well written and has quite a mystery, that had me guessing until I read through to the end. I loved the interactions of the cats and dogs, and the well-oiled gossip line of the gardening club. There’s a darkness in among the small town, well hidden. I really enjoyed reading this book and am looking forward to the next one.”

“The setting from sentence one lets you know this is a small
Town, everybody is up in everyone’s business. It’s a fast read, cute and
Animal friendly. Very much like the old Nancy Drew and Hardy boy
Mysteries I read in the 70’s”

“Very enjoyable. Love the animals intertwined, but also the mystery up until the very end was a puzzle. Highly recommend.”

“In memory of a beloved daughter, her parents and siblings continue to build a zoo, which her father had begun while she was still alive. Strange deaths and unusual activities occur at the zoo, so the law enforcement is racing to find the answers in order to stop the madness. I was pleased to see some of the canines were mentioned in this book, albeit briefly, so I am not sure if I am reading the series in the correct sequence, but an interesting story nonetheless.”

And now we’re visiting all three towns in a Christmas mystery. You are going to enjoy this book! Get your copy to gift yourself for Christmas or your favorite mystery buff.

Running from a murderous vampire while on a business trip? I don’t think I packed the right shoes for this.

I’m done being a witch. My magical training has brought me nothing but failure. My spellcraft supply store was a flop, my pet bat puts a serious cramp in my dating style, and my social life’s a joke. It seems my peers would rather go out to brunch than help me add eye of newt to my cauldron.

It’s time for me to live a “normal” life—and what’s more normal than taking a job with a big company and going on a business trip?
