A Reluctant Most-Eligible Bachelor

A Reporter In Need Of A Story

A Pact More Than They Bargained For

What happens when a gang of elderly men and women at the local senior center decide to interfere in their grandkids’ love life? Find out in the hilarious new series by Jenna St. James.

When Trinity Falls’ Most Eligible Bachelor, fireman Caleb Travers, strikes a bargain with reporter Katherine “Kat” O’Malley, neither one is prepared for the sparks that fly. Now if only they could convince their grandmothers–long-time rivals–to butt out of their fake relationship.

Between two black eyes, a gang shootout with real weapons, and a jealous ex-girlfriend, Katherine O’Malley sets out to prove she’s badass enough to nab Trinity Falls’ Most Eligible Bachelor. Not like he’s going to need much convincing…pact or no pact. But when Kat is faced with having to risk her heart and go all-in with Caleb, will she be able to take that leap of faith? Or will she decide, instead, to walk away and let her heart crash and burn?  (Amazon)

April Barnes is a former city high flyer who had a breakdown, and now, at the age of 48 and with a therapy dog Joseph, still has to resist the urge to overachieve.

True to form, she buys a rundown house in California wine country, to convert and sell for a huge profit. What she didn’t bank on was…

…meeting a handsome, sensitive watercolor artist who takes her breath away, and
…finding a body in the basement of her new property

The police are lackluster. She receives threatening notes. Rumors swirl about whether her new love interest is so kind and sensitive after all. Perhaps that’s all a front for his murderous intent.

What else can she do but investigate?  (Amazon)

Death left a surprise on her doorstep . . .

Cascade Lorne, newly blossomed witch, thinks the dust is finally settling. The hottie next door is her official sweetie, her magical powers are no longer threatening to burn her from the inside out, and Cas’ passion project—renovating a boutique hotel—lights her up with joy.

But even before the grand opening, a killer strikes and death leaves a gruesome surprise on Cascade’s doorstep. There’s a stream of possible suspects, especially the odd guest whose eyes shine like a wolf’s in the light of the moon.

Cascade’s fresh start is put in jeopardy as she’s thrust into a new mystery with fanatics desperate to hide their secrets—including someone near and dear to her heart.

Will Cas be able to shine light on the truth or will a homicidal felon remain camouflaged and prepped to kill again?  (Amazon)

Meet amateur sleuth and retired grandmother Eugeena Patterson in this three books-in-one cozy mysteries series

BOOK 1: DEEP FRIED TROUBLE

Widowed and officially retired, EUGEENA PATTERSON throws herself into organizing the neighborhood association. This presents a great opportunity to re-connect with old friends and get to know new neighbors like recently widowed Amos Jones, that is until Eugeena stumbles upon her estranged neighbor’s dead body. Eugeena’s daughter is fingered as a prime suspect, but where is she? Determined to find her missing daughter, Eugeena and Amos sort through a list of neighbors with shady or unknown backgrounds. The more she searches, the more Eugeena becomes unsure about this neighborhood association idea. Someone closer than Eugeena thinks, wants to keep it that way.

BOOK 2: OVEN BAKED SECRETS

EUGEENA PATTERSON is not happy about her next-door neighbor, Louise Hopkins, being sent to live in a nursing home. Without her fellow neighborhood watch buddy, Sugar Creek isn’t the same anymore. When a stranger reveals a stunning secret about Louise’ past, Eugeena questions if the young woman’s claim is for real or if she is a con artist? Roping in her neighbor, retired detective Amos Jones, for help, Eugeena digs up a few skeletons from her elderly friend’s closet. When Eugeena stumbles upon a long forgotten murder case, she realizes the layers of a long dormant secret still have the potential to be deadly.

BOOK 3: LEMON FILLED DISASTER

Retiree EUGEENA PATTERSON has picked up some new activities which include volunteering at an afterschool program and helping her future daughter-in-law plan a wedding. Eugeena is more than thrilled to see her son, Dr. Cedric Patterson, a longtime bachelor soon wed his girlfriend, Carmen Alpine. During wedding planning errands, Eugeena notices a man is tailing her and Carmen. When Eugeena finds out the man is Carmen’s ex-husband, this lessens her enthusiasm for the upcoming nuptials, especially since Carmen had failed to share this information about her past. Later, when that man is found dead, Carmen becomes a suspect. As Eugeena begins to investigate Carmen’s past, she’s wondering if this wedding will ever happen.  (Amazon)

When a firecracker becomes a murder weapon, Emily Westhill pursues a killer with a short fuse …
 
It is a truth universally acknowledged—cops and donuts go together. Exhibit A: Deputy Donut Café, owned and operated by detective’s widow Emily Westhill and her father-in-law, the retired police chief of Fallingbrook, Wisconsin. Named after Emily’s adored and adorable tabby, the donut shop is a favorite among cops, firemen, and EMTs, as well as tourists and townspeople. So when Fallingbrook needs donuts for their Fourth of July picnic, Emily’s shop gets deputized.

But a twisted killer has found another use for Emily’s treats. At the picnic, a firecracker is hidden in a stack of raspberry-filled donuts and aimed at the unwitting queen of the festivities. When it explodes, she is killed. Having her jelly donuts involved puts Emily in a sticky situation, and when a shady shutterbug tries to frame her with incriminating photos, she finds herself in quite a jam. To preserve her freedom and her shop’s reputation, Emily needs to solve this case—before the fuse-lighting felon goes off again …

Of Potions and Portents is the first book in the Sister Witches of Raven Falls Cozy Mystery Series. Join a set of magickal sisters as they solve paranormal mysteries that fans of Charmed, Hocus Pocus, and The Good Witch will love. ***Bonus recipes and craft instructions in every book!

I’ll be honest—I long for love and a “normal” social life, just like everyone else. Finding the time—not to mention the right guy—however, is a lost cause. My days are spent cooking up products for the Lotions, Potions, and Herbs line for Conjure, the metaphysical shop I run with my sisters, and my specialty blend—Sex Magick—is helping everyone else in Raven Falls find romance, while I’m working my broomstick off preparing for the upcoming Beltane celebration.

That is until Tristan McGregor, the sexy chief of police, threatens to shut down my kitchen and accuses me of murder. Two people have died, entangled in—ahem—a compromising position, and covered in Sex Magick.

On top of that, I discover an unsettling portent about the chief in his tea leaves, and when he steals a kiss after catching me at the crime scene, I try to convince myself it’s only because he’s under the influence of the Sex Magick enchantment.

But is he?

With my cursed mockingbird familiar, Hoax, my sassy sister witches, and a whole lot of peppermint tea, I have to solve the mystery before Tristan puts me behind bars. Even so, as the fires of Beltane nip at my heels, introducing the chief to the world of magick could send my chances at love up in smoke.

Bev is short, loud and drunk most of the time. She woke up this morning next to a dead guy and does the most logical thing in the world; grabs some packages of dry noodles and drives for hours to surprise her sister. Her sober and shocked sister Belinda.
Together the sisters take sibling bickering to new heights as they try to determine what Bev did the preceding twenty-four hours. Bev would like to know what she did the previous month, as well as the current, but heah, at least she has a place to live.
And she has a place to be lonely. She goes to the cemetery and invents stories about the people buried there. She finds it oddly soothing. Bev also does her version of community service by stealing flowers from graves and re-planting them on random graves. It kind of freaks out the mourners who return the next day, but Bev is oblivious, because, you know, she’s probably drunk.
Her older sister Belinda has her own secret vices and needs to get the truth from Bev and her spotty memory. Like why are people shooting at Bev? Where did the money come from? Why is that FBI agent following her? Did Bev really kidnap the missing woman? And why does her twin sister have a gun and the dead man’s shoes in the trunk of her car?
Bev would like to know the answers to these questions too; but right now she could really use a drink.  (Amazon)
