Don't Hex the Handyman
One badly worded spell. One grumpy Scottish handyman who can't leave. She just wanted her sink fixed.
Cassie Morgan's life is already a disaster: divorced, overlooked at work, and one hot flash away from setting something on fire. When she accidentally summons a grumpy Scottish handyman who literally cannot leave her property, things get complicated.
- You've ever ugly-cried in the laundry room
- You believe wine is a food group
- You want a romance where the heroine saves herself (but the grumpy Scotsman doesn't hurt)

Same promise. New town.
Fairhaven is not the only town where the women are like this. Four states north, on a lake in Michigan, a faded lodge is about to get a cook whose onion soup makes grown men cry, a goose named Pancake with strong opinions, and a resident talking cat named Soot who has seen it all before. A brand-new series of complete, cozy witch romances—same promise, new town.
What readers keep telling us
“Hot flashes weren't funny until now.”
Laure Eccleston · Amazon review
★★★★★
PERFECT!
“Menopause and surprise magic? This was the absolute perfect, hilarious, disaster! I laughed, I cried, I had my own hot flashes. Loved it.”
★★★★★
Excellent & funny Witchy Fantasy
“My husband heard me laughing - actually I was cackling and belly laughing reading "Don't Hex the Handyman". It was the best read I've had in awhile.”
★★★★★
Charming midlife magic with heart and humor
“My absolute favorite part, though, was Luna the cat gaining the ability to talk. Her sarcastic, judgmental commentary had me smiling every time she appeared. (Give me a talking cat and I'll read any book!)”

I Finished the Series, and Nobody Is Handling It Well (Including Me)
Ten books. One town. And a finale I need to tell you about before you preorder it, because you and I don't do unpleasant surprises.
MIDLIFE UNFILTEREDMy Body Sent a Memo and I Didn't Read It
Last Tuesday at 2:14 AM I googled "am I dying or is this perimenopause." The internet returned both answers as equally plausible.
LETTERS FROM THE FORESTDirt, Rain, and the Raccoon Who Won't Leave
It has been raining for four days, the redbud is doing the thing it does, and the raccoon has eaten the kale starts again. This is the whole report.
