BOOK 1: Visions and Villainy
A murderous premonition. A dead eyewitness. And an urgency to reach a ghost.
Freedom at fifty is working out perfectly for Addie Keane who’s returned to the seaside town of Whalesback Cove. Having developed a new line of body care products, she’s now living out her long-cherished dream.
Except her dream doesn’t include sudden psychic visions.
Looking for answers, Addie seeks guidance from a local clairvoyant. But the startling message she receives thrusts her into the heart of a murder investigation.
When she learns a dead food critic is the only one who can shed light on a murder, she recruits her friend, Quinn Delaney to communicate with the ghost and save their new clairvoyant ally from the sheriff’s sights.
The ghost has news all right, but Addie worries he’s told Quinn more than she’s letting on. But why would Quinn keep secrets? And for no good reason, it seems the unruly spirit doesn’t like Addie one bit.
With a prime suspect leading them on a wild butterfly chase, Quinn experiencing an unnatural degree of good fortune, and Addie’s impromptu, mystifying visions, her dream of a simpler life might be as dead as the unfortunate victim.
Can they tame a ghost and solve the murder before Quinn has to leave Whalesback Cove, or will Addie be left with an ominous message to decipher and a killer on the loose?
BOOK 2: Curses and Consequences
Life is pretty sweet for Addie Keane now that she’s moved to Whalesback Cove to live on her sailboat and develop her body care products line. She’s even getting used to her new “retro” psychic visions, giving her remarkable glimpses into people’s pasts.
When a stranger tosses her a crumpled note with a plea for help, Addie steps up, but her helping hand backfires when one of her customers ends up dead.
Added to that, she’s visited by a charismatic long-lost aunt who’s come to help Addie with her “transition.”
Turning fifty means Addie has come into magical powers, and if that isn’t life-altering enough, a family curse means her magic has some unusual limitations.
Addie has good reasons to kick these wayward enchantments to the curb. If only she knew how. Because something is seriously wrong.
With the sheriff questioning her motives, an intimidating warlock accusing her of harming humans, and a thieving cat dropping loot at her feet, she’s determined to make sense of it all.
Having dedicated her professional life to helping people, Addie’s got high hopes for her new talent, but she may never get the chance to do good if she doesn’t prove herself innocent and get her burgeoning powers under control. But can she trust the uncanny visitors who may hold the secrets to her past and her future?

BOOK 3: Potions and Plunder
Addie Keane loves the cozy community she's found in small-town Whalesback Cove among friends who believe she has a special knack for solving murders.
The actual truth? She has a secret.
She's a cursed witch who fears she might accidentally turn someone green with envy. Literally. Under the guidance of a mentor, she develops her unique powers and learns why she's destined to bear the weight of an ancient curse, and why future generations depend on Addie bringing murderers to justice.
So, when a friend asks her to investigate an unsolved murder, she can't refuse.
But when she puts on her detective cap, her psychic visions hint at dark secrets, hidden motives, and a web of interconnected relationships surrounding the victim. But nothing makes sense.
Addie soon discovers it's one thing to chase clues as an amateur sleuth, it's quite another to use her supernatural powers to bring a killer to justice while keeping her erratic powers hidden.

BOOK 4: Sorcery and Suspects
When Addie Keane finds a dead body at a wedding reception, her witchy senses cry murder—even though the hot sheriff doesn't suspect foul play.
If she can unravel the cryptic clues in her psychic visions and put another killer behind bars, she'll be one step closer to freeing her family from the centuries-old curse that controls their supernatural powers.
Yet with her magical abilities awakening in ways she doesn't understand, she has more questions than answers.
Like, why is someone tracking her? Why is her warlock nemesis dating her very human best friend? And why is her niece, so eager to help break the family curse, suddenly sabotaging their investigation?
With the killer on her tail, if Addie can't figure it all out, then nothing about her freedom-at-fifty dream will be smooth sailing.
If you like magical cozy mysteries, women coming into their powers, small-town charm with themes of family and friendship, you'll love Sorcery and Suspects!
BOOK 5: Alchemy and Afterlives
A final murder to solve or her magic may be the death of her.
Addie Keane's emerging witchcraft feels less like a gift and more like a ticking time bomb.

When Addie accidentally conjures a diary from the 19th century, she believes it holds the key to the truth behind the murder accusation against her ancestor.
Solving this crime will clear her family name and break the curse that's making her powers dangerously unstable.
With her loyal feline familiar offering advice and her charismatic aunt lending support, Addie races to decipher clues from the past and convince the skeptical local coven she's not a total magical disaster.
Can she unravel a centuries-old murder before her powers fizzle out completely or turn fatally unpredictable?
