Christmas Spells Are Ringing
To retire is to expire.
That's the mantra Violet Frost lived by her entire career. But after years of leading a double life-one as an investigative journalist and the other as a witch-Violet has hung up her press pass and traded deadlines and editorial boards for buffet lines and shuffleboards. At long last, she's moved to a place where she can finally let her hair down and her witch flag fly: the Misty Keys.
Hidden from the world by powerful enchantments, the Misty Keys are more than your average Floridian islands. They're a retirement community for the paranormal and supernatural beings of the world. Violet lives in a quiet bungalow with her mother, her twin sister, and an unruly cadre of familiars. Her next-door neighbor is a leprechaun who has misplaced his pot of gold, one of her best friends is a half-succubus who makes a mean shot of espresso, and her arch-nemesis, a money-hungry fugitive werewolf, has just arrived in town.
Now the holidays are coming to the Misty Keys, and for Violet that means putting together the Christmas edition of The Misty Tidings, her semiregular newspaper.
Okay, maybe she's having a hard time committing fully to this retirement thing.
When her old foe winds up dead-strangled by a length of Christmas lights-Violet finds herself a suspect in the murder. Now she must put her decades of experience as an investigative journalist to use in cracking this case and clearing her name. Fortunately for her, she has a coven of friendly witches at her back, a strong journalistic instinct up her sleeve, and a magic wand in her pocket.
Christmas Spells Are Ringing is the first book in the Witches of the Misty Keys Cozy Mysteries. If you like magic, mystery, and merriment, this whodunnit will leave you guessing--and laughing--till the end, you'll love this series.
