Publisher: Crimson Fox Publishing

Publication Date: Fall 2024

Cover Designer: Amy McNulty

Spring returns to Luna Lane, and Dahlia Poplar is ready for the turn of the seasons that may bring her long-distance boyfriend back to her by semester’s end. Until then, she’s doing her best to stay out of the way of the new deputy sheriff after their rocky first impressions of one another. However, a St. Patrick’s Day Spooky Games Club event at the town’s vampire-run tavern may mean it’s time for the town’s consulting witch detective to put her sleuthing skills to the test once more.

Vesper the dryad has been the only schoolteacher Luna Lane has ever known. The usually reclusive wood nymph instructor is lured out to the St. Patrick’s Day party to help her students construct the largest domino toppling setup the town has ever seen. When a couple of dryads from her past make a surprise appearance at the event, the gentle schoolteacher finds herself accused of murder—and the new deputy sheriff is locking her up and tossing away the key.

Dahlia is certain her former teacher couldn’t have committed the crime, but the investigation sets off a chain reaction that seems to build the deputy’s case. Before the facts get lost as it all comes toppling down, Dahlia needs to figure out what really happened—but maybe everything isn’t as black and white as she thinks.

WEREWOLVES AND WARGAMES Cover Reveal!

Today is the cover reveal for WEREWOLVES AND WARGAMES, Book 6 in the A Spooky Games Club Mystery series, coming out in 2023! Beware: Light spoilers for Book 5 appear in the blurb.

Title: Werewolves and Wargames (A Spooky Games Club Mystery Book 6)

Publisher: Crimson Fox Publishing

Publication Date: Spring 2023

Cover Designer: Amy McNulty

Dahlia Poplar, Luna Lane’s homegrown witch, has had enough of mystery and murder. Luckily, the royal witches after her may be preoccupied after the blow Dahlia and her friends dealt them the last time they tried to attack. Ready to spend a snowy February warm and cozy at home, the only thing that could have made her first Valentine’s Day with her boyfriend better would be if they didn’t have to confine their celebration to a video chat.

Thankfully, her best friend has quite the plan for holiday: Faine’s parents and in-laws are visiting Luna Lane to spend time with their grandkids, and the kids aren’t into mush or romance. Instead, the family wants to stage an elaborate paintball wargame, which is something the kids enjoy in the werewolf village in Canada. Of course, the Spooky Games Club was practically made to participate.

Unfortunately, the pretend wargames result in an actual murder—and someone near and dear to Faine is thought to have killed for real. It’s up to Dahlia to gear up for the fight and sleuth out the truth. Otherwise, her loving, supportive, and optimistic Galentine will never be the same.
