MOON GARDEN MYSTERIES BUNDLE: RITUAL ELEMENTS #4, THE VEILED HUNTER #5, STRAWBERRY SOLSTICE #6

Welcome to the Moon Garden Mysteries paranormal cozy mystery series, a magical blend of paranormal women’s fiction and cozy mystery for those who believe forty marks a new beginning, cats can talk (and you’d better listen), and when you’re guarding a fae portal, chocolate is a girl’s best friend.

This bundle includes books four, five, and six of the Moon Garden Mysteries in paperback.

RITUAL ELEMENTS #4

When I pictured turning forty, I never could have imagined this.

The college spring break crowd has descended on Crescent Bay. All our favorite haunts are overrun by half-clad, partying young people. But the friends celebrating my birthday with karaoke make even the spring-breakers look tame. Until ten o’clock anyway.

Everyone’s having a great time, until Forrest McCall takes over for the disgruntled bartender. 

I have my own past with the arrogant young man. I kept his secrets – in order to keep my own.

Now that choice is coming back to haunt me. And my friends.

When Marty discovers Forrest’s body the very next day, I have to help clear them of suspicion. What happened after Forrest left his bartending shift? How did his body end up in the bay?

My fortieth birthday comes with a happier surprise too, thank goodness. A date. The first one to give me this sort of anxiety since my divorce last year. If I can just quit second guessing, this thing with David might stand a chance.

That turns out to be a pretty big if when my ex-husband calls out of the blue with news I do not want to hear. 

Luckily, all is possible with the help of my friends. Because the moon garden depends on us being there when things get dark…and the shadows are creeping in. I’ve never faced a test like this before.

I’d better pass, because if I miss this date, I’ll be so mad…

THE VEILED HUNTER #5

Spooky season in Crescent Bay shouldn’t be this sinister. 

The town wide Halloween fundraiser was supposed to be all fun and frights. A full weekend of haunted attractions, creepy plays, and enough spookiness to delight the town, all to finance the upcoming remodel of the Crescent Bay Library. 

My friend and employee Sheldon is more excited than most, until the skeleton standing sentry at the museum entrance is stolen.

A couple harmless pranks to celebrate the season are one thing…and we probably should have expected that when we went all in on Halloween.

But when Grady Cordell, the caretaker of crumbling Branson House, is found dead on the property, the festivities take a dark turn. 

With the century-old house now at the center of a murder investigation, the whispers of real ghosts and old grudges start swirling. Something’s off, and once again, I’m pulled into the mystery. Who – or what – killed Grady? 

Apparently, the universe thought I needed additional challenges, because an unexpected visitor to the moon garden brings more bad news. Darkness is creeping in from all sides. The safety of my friends, and the garden’s fae portal, rests on my shoulders. 

Crescent Bay’s shadows hide more than ghosts, and this time, the danger feels all too real.

Halloween is supposed to be a scream – but not like this.

STRAWBERRY SOLSTICE #6

The longest day of the year just turned into the strangest night.

Crescent Bay’s High Solstice Renaissance Faire is in full swing, bringing tourists, tournaments, and midsummer mischief. Between strawberry picking, horseback riding, and a weekend of camping with friends, I was ready to enjoy the longest days of the year. But when a beloved local pony disappears – and then a man goes missing from our campsite – summer’s enchantment turns eerie.

Carter Monroe isn’t exactly a friend, but when he blunders into the woods and never returns, his daughter is left waiting at the campfire. 

Worse, Grace Wayburn, the no-nonsense owner of Rivergreen Stables and a good friend of David’s, vanishes the same night, leaving behind her prized horse.

A stolen pony. A missing man. A vanished horsewoman.

This isn’t coincidence.

And just when I think it can’t get stranger, I spot something flitting through the trees – iridescent, impossible…and otherworldly. The fae magic I’ve sworn to guard is seeping into Crescent Bay again, and I can’t tell David the truth. Not about the moon garden, not about the portal I protect, and definitely not about the tiny creatures that might have lured Carter and Grace into the dark.

Lying to the man I love is getting harder. But if I don’t, I might lose more than just him. 

The solstice is supposed to bring light…but this year the shadows are hungry.
