Cozy Mystery

 Working on a new paranormal cozy mystery...

When Willamena “Willa” Thorne inherits her grandmother’s dusty old bookshop in the sleepy town of Brookdale, she’s hoping for a fresh start—a quiet life of writing cozy mysteries and zero magical drama. Unfortunately, magic has other plans.

The bookstore comes with Poe, a smug black cat with glowing eyes who thinks he owns the place. Next door is Maddie, the psychic shop owner, and her dog, Mysti—a five-pound Pomeranian with a huge attitude and an instant dislike for Poe. And Mike, the charming coffee shop owner with a smile that makes Willa forget which spell she wasn’t supposed to be casting.

Willa would love nothing more than to blend in, keep her witchy past under wraps, and definitely not talk about the fact that most of her spells either fizzle… or unravel spectacularly. But something strange is stirring. Books fall off the shelves when no one’s around. Whispers echo through empty aisles. And in the mystery section, a flicker of light is about to uncover a secret that refuses to stay buried.

Welcome to Phantom Pages, the bookstore where ghosts won’t stay shelved, magic misfires, and even the Pomeranian has a plot twist.
