An Otterly Secret Scheme:
Summer Rigby has been contemplating her life choices lately. Her dad comes from a family of witches, but her mother wants her to take over her family’s bar. In a way, it’s as important of a legacy as the witchcraft.
But is it really what she wants to do?
While walking along the beach, Summer is hit with a powerful premonition, one she can’t help but act on. Brandi Best must move to Cornellis Island, Summer must take over her mother’s bar, and Summer is the one who is tasked with making these things happen.
So much for Summer’s wants and needs. Her life is going in a direction she can’t control, but it’s not all bad. At least she has her elderly bestie, Maggie, and her visions keep life interesting.
On to the next adventure.
An Otterly Ridiculous Riddle:
Brandi Best has nothing tying her down. Nothing keeping her in Arizona. No kids, no husband, and her parents passed away years ago. When she finds out a town in Ireland will actually pay her to move there? Why not spend the second half of her life in a gorgeous country by the sea?
But things aren't all that they seem.
In preparing to move, Brandi discovers some big secrets about herself and her parents. First and foremost, that she's adopted. And then she finds a journal written in her father's handwriting claiming Brandi was found in that same Irish town she's heading too.
Is it a coincidence, or something more?
Still, starting over is everything she hoped for and more. An exotic location, new friends, and new adventures working in the local bar. Things are going really well... until she falls into the ocean. Touching salt water for the first time does something to her. Something... fishy.
And her life gets even more confusing when she meets the handsome descendant of a pirate who swears he can help her find the truth about her past. All it'll take? More adventure. More danger. And a hunt for an incredible treasure.
Brandi doesn't know what to believe, but she's going to have to figure something out soon, or she's going to have one whopper of a tail to tell.
A PWF Recommendation!
Don’t miss this cozy, supernatural retelling with plenty of action, adventure, and hilarious hijinks.
Moving back to her hometown, she rediscovers what it means to be alive with a long-forgotten magic and a drizzle of hot, gooey murder mystery.
Iris is done living a life where everyone else calls the shots. Giving her slimy-dog of a husband the axe, she packs up her potion shop and moves back home to the sleepy fairytale town of Slipper Creek. Magical makeovers and baby dragons are all part of the fun. But it's not all side-splitting good times. Back aches and acid reflux aren't her only midlife witchy worries. She’s stacked against a sentient long john bent on turning the town’s culinary tastes to the gourmet and a gun-turned cat who gives the new meaning to the term hair-trigger. When a murder is added to the cauldron and her drama queen sister is the number one suspect, things really start to bubble over.
A rule (or ten) isn’t about to stop this 43-year-old from uncovering a scandal so delectable it gives devil’s food cake a run for its money. But it’s bubbles, bubbles, toil, and trouble, when Iris’ fritzing magic takes a turn nobody dreamed possible.
Juggling her newfound powers while wading through enough clues to make Miss Marple shake her head, the game takes a deadly turn. Now, it’s a race against time to stop the killer before her own death isn’t one by chocolate.
The Magical Tale of Cindy-Rela will Bibbidi Bobbidi Boom its way into your heart with laugh-out-loud action & adventure, a cozy family of unforgettable characters, and a mystery that keeps you guessing until the very end.
