The men secured the shackles slowly, hesitantly, but Kibure did not resist; he couldn’t. Whatever otherworldly power had come over him in those moments of passion had fled his body the second he realized what he had done…

In a realm where only clerics are permitted to practice magic, Kibure’s inexplicable use of power places him in grave danger. In a twist of fate, the rogue priestess hired to strip him of his power chooses instead to help him escape. Her reasons for doing so are her own, but something worse than death awaits if they are unable to evade the Empire’s most potent wielders.

This epic fantasy series will be especially enjoyed by fans of Brandon Sanderson, Robert Jordan, Michael J. Sullivan, Edward W. Robertson, Patrick Rothfuss, and Michael Wisehart.

The small town of Globe, Arizona, is in a world of trouble when Selena Marx, former witch to the stars — all right, psychic advisor to aspiring actors and actresses — lands there after running afoul of the leader of the Greater Los Angeles Necromancers’ Guild. All she wants is to lead a quiet life…or at least as quiet as the cursed cat she inherits when she buys her new home will allow. Unfortunately, people start turning up dead, and she attracts the attention of Calvin Standingbear, the chief of police for the local San Ramon Apache tribe. More mayhem ensues as the series continues! Hedgewitch for Hire is a lighthearted small town mystery series with an overarching romance subplot carries throughout the books.

This boxed set includes the first three books in the Hedgewitch for Hire paranormal cozy series:

Grave Mistake
Hedgewitch Selena runs to Arizona to escape Lucien, a slimy, celebrity-schmoozing sorcerer. Just as she’s meeting the locals — including hunky Calvin Standingbear — Lucien tracks her down…then disappears. When one of Lucien’s acolytes is killed. Selena and Calvin race against time before a too-close-for-comfort evil cuts her own life short.

Social Medium
Becoming an Instagram star sounded like a good way to promote Selena’s metaphysical shop, but when the dark side of social media rears its ugly head, she’s going to need all the friends she can get, including the secretive police chief Calvin Standingbear. Because online witch rivalries can be murder.

Household Demons
When Selena’s parents buy the most haunted Victorian mansion in town, she checks it out— and senses nothing. But the unholy racket tells her something is infesting this house. When backup arrives, the house strikes back. Now her parents are murder suspects…and Selena could be the mansion’s next victim.

Curses, Calamity, and Death . . .

Ellen, Sue, and Tanya next venture to Hot Springs, Arkansas. Tasked with cleansing an Airbnb of a mischievous spirit, the case takes a sinister turn when Ellen hears inexplicable voices echoing from the natural springs, speaking in an ancient tongue. As the ominous messages unfold, foretelling curses, calamities, and death, Ellen realizes they’re bound by an ancient curse, set to unravel with the approaching summer solstice.

Delving deeper into the area’s dark history and legends, Ellen and her friends find themselves trapped within Al Capone’s secret tunnel beneath Josephine Tussaud’s Wax Museum. And the threats they face extend beyond the supernatural, motivated by something far less enigmatic: greed.

The books in this series can be read in any order.

Beneath the soul of a chef, lies the heart of a witch.

Zelda Hawkins came to Manhattan to make sandwiches, not spells—but when a mysterious vampire offers free rent on her family’s old restaurant in exchange for repairing a magical mirror, Zelda’s plans are flipped like a hot grilled cheese.

With the help of a ridiculous rescue poodle, a mind-reading fire witch, a smoldering ex-boyfriend, and a hot Brooklyn hipster helping with the renovation, Zelda must use the magic she inherited from her grandmother to enter a world of witches, vampires, and fae, where masks and mirrors are only the beginning… and the stakes are higher than New York prices.

My name is Naida Griffith and I’m a sorceress. I actually found that out not too long ago.

I’ve lived with an undefined something burning in my belly for a while, feeling as if something wasn’t quite right under my skin. Then, on my eighteenth birthday I started getting headaches. Bad ones. And random stuff started following me around.

Recently I was approached by a group called the Société of Dire Magic to become Keeper of the Artifacts. A magical librarian. Given that magical artifacts have taken to following me around, I decided I might have an aptitude for the job. So I said yes.

But in the first few days, I’ve been flogged by flip flops, bludgeoned by gnomes, and discovered a corpse in a suitcase. Then there’s the woman who’s supposed to be training me. She’s…interesting.

Will I survive the training long enough to get the job as an artifact librarian? You might as well ask me if a caterpillar gets manis or pedis. Who knows? But I know one thing for sure. This gig is hard.

I’m going to do my best to succeed. Or die trying.
