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.

From Book 1:

There is a time to weep and a time to mourn.

For the CSV Lion of Judah, that time has not yet come.

The war with the League of Sol ended in victory for the Terran Coalition. Major General David Cohen and his crew conclude their three-month goodwill cruise with one final FTL jump. But instead of returning home in a blaze of glory, the wormhole collapses and hurls them more than four million lightyears into the unknown.

Stranding them in a distant galaxy.

With dwindling supplies but buoyed by hope of a miracle, David follows the evidence to a nearby inhabited planet. After a disastrous first contact with the less advanced alien civilization, rival factions threaten the tenuous peace—and reignite a centuries-old genocidal conflict.

Now David and the war-weary Lion must take up arms once again to head off a catastrophic event in hopes of unlocking an ancient technology’s secrets.

Before the chance to return home is lost forever.
