When you pull up stakes, make sure you don’t get stabbed in the back.

Self-taught in the arcane arts, hedgewitch Selena Marx is comfortable doing divination for West Los Angeles’ anxiety-ridden housewives, lawyers, and aspiring actresses. Her biggest challenge? Avoiding Lucien Dumond, leader of the Greater Los Angeles Necromancers’ Guild, who views her as fresh meat to add to his harem of slavishly devoted groupies.

Selena’s not interested in the slimy, celebrity-schmoozing sorcerer, but nobody turns Lucien down without consequences. When he threatens to fit her with magical cement shoes and drop her off the Santa Monica Pier, Selena’s Tarot cards point her to Globe, Arizona, for a new home, a new shop, and a cursed pet cat.

Just as she’s settling in and meeting the locals — including Calvin Standingbear, hunky chief of the San Ramon Apache tribal police — Lucien tracks her down…and promptly disappears. When his body turns up on tribal lands, it’s up to Calvin to investigate. Starting with Selena.

And when one of Lucien’s acolytes is killed, traces of dark magic and cryptic warnings from the spirits send Selena and Calvin in a race against time — before a too-close-for-comfort evil cuts her own life short.

The Hedgewitch for Hire series will continue with book 2, Social Medium, releasing on March 31, 2021. The romance subplot will stretch over the entire series, while each novel will be a self-contained mystery without a cliffhanger.

It starts with a dream.

When my mother died, I lost the last family member I had. The antique store was her passion, not mine. I’d rather spend my time reliving my dreams about the man who’s always just out of reach.

What my mother never told me was she was hiding something that would alter my life.

Not many people can say they have a key to another realm. Or that within the realm is the father they’ve never met.

That person is me. My father is the king in a land I didn’t know existed. I’m so using that key.

When I get there, I find the literal man of my dreams. Not only is he handsome but he’s a prince and an elite fighter. A man I’m not sure if I should fear or kiss.

I’m told my father isn’t the man I pictured, and instead is vile and vicious. I wonder if I made the worst decision of my life coming here.

I still have the key. I could go home.

I also have a prince vowing to protect me with his life.

Falling for him is easy.

Becoming a pawn in my father’s game is not.

The Azure Kingdom is book one in the Iridescent Realm series. It features a strong heroine and a sexy prince, who can only fight what is meant to be for so long. This book contains explicit content and graphic violence intended for those 18 and over. Each book in the series ends with a happily ever after.
