Laid off, and recently divorced from husband number two, this former workaholic moves in with her estranged - and very strange - grandmother. A grandmother who informs Constance that she comes from a long line of powerful witches. And on the day she hits the big 4-0, she'll come into her powers. It turns out that she's not the only paranormal person in town. Under the sleepy surface, the small town is teeming with supernatural beings. When Constance finds the town's resident vampire dead, things go from surreal to scary. The local sheriff is convinced that a killer is lurking in the shadows, hunting anyone with supernatural abilities...including witches like her. He's not wrong. Can Constance learn enough magic to save herself and Creel Creek from this unknown foe?

Grim and Bear It
Summary
A grim first week on the job. Tessa Randolph is feeling defeated. On the outs with her boyfriend and suddenly without a job, she's scrambling to pay the rent. She doesn’t exactly have the kind of life she wants. Tessa needs a change. And the ability to afford the wet food her cat Pepper thinks she deserves at every meal. Against her better judgment, but without a better offer, Tessa takes a job from one of the scariest of bosses - her mother, who has a deadly sharp tongue. And just like that, she learns that the life insurance agency at the edge of Mist River isn’t what it seems to be. Plus, Cheryl Randolph isn’t simply the sharp-tongued, overly critical mom Tessa thought she was. She’s a grim reaper. One of many people tasked with escorting souls into the afterlife. And now Tessa is one, too. She wasn't expecting her life change to involve so much death. Tessa intends to simply kill it in her new career. But, running late on her second day of work, she doesn’t make it in time for her neighbor’s death. And now his soul is missing. Apparently, that's not a good thing when you're in the soul-collecting business. Who knew? Now, her mom-boss thinks Tessa can’t cut it. Which is just so typical. And she doesn’t seem to be telling Tessa everything about an important death in both of their pasts. Not only that, but apparently, if Tessa doesn’t find the missing spirit fast enough, its absence will rip some kind of apocalyptic hole in space and time. Or something like that. It’s all a bit vague. Not that Tessa read the job manual line by line. Who has time for that? What’s worse, the police think Tessa might've committed the murder. Can Tessa prove her innocence? Can she get her mom off her back and find the wayward soul before time runs out? And will Pepper get that expensive can of tuna she's sure she deserves? Find out today!

Castle meets Murder, She Wrote with a touch of Psych. Four cozy whodunits to bring out your inner sleuth. After several years in the military, Kirby Jackson just moved back to his coastal hometown to open up his dream coffee shop. But his best friend and co-owner, Ryan, just had to add his own flair: Comic books. And the business isn't off to a good start. The coffee is fine. With the comics floundering and sinking Kapow Koffee into debt, Kirby has to make a tough decision. On the cusp of telling Ryan the grim news, he finds his friend with a knife in his back. Of course Kirby becomes suspect number one. Perhaps things wouldn't look so bad had he not been planning to metaphorically stab Ryan in the back, cutting him out of the business. The shop’s mascot, a stubborn dachshund named Gambit, might hold the keys to solving the case. But he ain't talking. His woofs are only for treats...Or are they? Can Kirby prove his innocence? Can he and Gambit make friends? And can the not-so-dynamic duo solve the case before the killer strikes again? Curious crimes, engaging characters, and a lovable dachshund. Coffee House Capers are perfect for all dog lovers, some comic book fans, and cozy listeners alike. With a male sleuth and canine partner, it's reminiscent of The Cat Who, but set in a quaint modern-day Coastal Florida town.
