Map of Ravenstone!

Welcome to the magical small town of Ravenstone!

While writing Crystals and Corpses (Magical Misfit Murders #1), Jacki and I worked off a sketch she did to figure out where some of the key stores were located in Ravenstone. But as we jumped into Hexes and Hops (book 2), we decided we needed more!

So here are a few map of our current vision of Ravenstone!

Crystals and Corpses in Large Print

Crystals and Corpses (Magical Misfit Murders #1)
Now available in LARGE PRINT!

In Ravenstone, magic, murder, and coffee collide. Declan doesn’t expect to discover he’s a witch and that magic is real the same day he finds a murdered vampire, but here we are. Now he is teaming up with Gideon, a hot alpha wolf who can’t shift, to solve the death and prove his grandfather’s innocence. Amid quirky monsters and magical baking, they race to catch a killer—and maybe find love. In Ravenstone, caffeine and magic solve everything.

Declan and Gideon in German!

Jacki and I are excited to have Magical Misfit Murders now available in German too! Yay!

Magie, Mord und jede Menge Kaffee – willkommen in Ravenstone!

Declan Hawthorne ist ein ganz normaler, koffeinsüchtiger Kerl – bis ein Besuch bei seinem Großvater ihm offenbart: Magie ist real, Hexen und Hexer existieren, und anscheinend ist Declan einer von ihnen.

Jetzt lernt er Ravenstone kennen, eine übernatürliche Kleinstadt, in der der Kaffee stark ist, die Monster sich echt schrullig verhalten, und gerade jemand beim ersten jährlichen Magiefestival einen Vampir ermordet hat.

Sein Verbündeter? Gideon Blackwood – ein umwerfender Werwolf, der sich zwar nicht verwandeln kann, es aber trotzdem schafft, genau richtig zu knurren. Er weiß, dass er kein Alpha werden kann, aber das hält ihn nicht davon ab, alle anderen zu beschützen … einschließlich eines leichtsinnigen neuen Hexers, der nicht weiß, wann es Zeit ist, sich zurückzuziehen.

Zwischen magischen Keksen und Kuchen, einem Haufen sich einmischender Außenseiter-Monster und jeder Menge verschüttetem Kaffee haben Declan und Gideon alle Hände voll zu tun. Aber wenn sie einen Mörder fassen wollen – und sich vielleicht dabei ein bisschen ineinander verlieben –, müssen sie ihren Instinkten vertrauen. Und vielleicht auch ihrer Magie.

Schließlich löst in Ravenstone Kaffee die meisten Probleme. Und was ist mit dem Rest, könnte man fragen? Nun, Magie und ein heißer Wolf sind da meist die beste Medizin.

Magic, murder, and a whole lot of coffee—welcome to Ravenstone!

Declan Hawthorne is just your average caffeine-addicted guy—until a visit to his grandfather reveals: magic is real, witches exist, and apparently, Declan’s one of them.

Now he’s getting to know Ravenstone, a supernatural small town where the coffee is strong, the monsters are quirky, and someone just murdered a vampire at the first annual Magic Festival.

His ally? Gideon Blackwood—a gorgeous wolf shifter who can’t shift but still manages to growl in all the right ways. He knows he can’t be Alpha, but that doesn’t stop him from protecting everyone else… including one reckless new witch who doesn’t know when to quit.

Between magical cookies and cakes, a bunch of meddling misfit monsters, and a lot of spilled coffee, Declan and Gideon have their hands full. But if they want to catch a killer—and maybe fall a little in love—they’ll have to trust their instincts and maybe their magic.

Because in Ravenstone, coffee solves most problems. The rest? Magic and a hot wolf usually do the trick.

Tags: MM paranormal mystery romance, cozy mystery vibes with a bit of heat, an alpha without a wolf, a guy who’s just discovered he’s a witch, some magical cakes and cookies, supernatural small town creatures, low angst, lots and lots of coffee, a misfit monster support group with a heartbroken mermaid, a murder-board-creating shadow imp, a matronly spider lady, a grumpy demon, an extroverted sprite, a shy bigfoot, and Declan’s hippie grandfather.

Hayden & Ryley’s audiobook is here!

Hayden and Ryley’s audiobook is here! Yay!

Hayden is no one’s alpha–not now, not ever–but he is still determined to protect Willow Lake from his villainous brother. Yeah. Okay. That sounds like something an alpha would say. But, seriously, he can’t let his brother take anyone else from him–not again, never again–especially the man Hayden suspects might be his fated mate.

Big Minotaur News!

FINALLY! I have exciting news about Levi and Parker’s book!

Moody as a Minotaur (Willow Lake Pack #1) will release on Amazon on October 1st. When it releases on Amazon, it will be in Kindle Unlimited. The regular paperback will be going live soon (it has been uploaded, so it is just a matter of how long Amazon will take to process it), and I am working on getting the large print paperback finalized too.

You can preorder the ebook on Amazon here!

However, until September 26th, you can also buy the ebook from my website. If you use discount code LeviLovesParker at my store, you will receive 20% off. (Store Link is here: https://loriames-shop.fourthwall.com/promo/LEVILOVESPARKER)

OR… Review copies will be coming this week. Booksprout will have a limited number of copies available (you can follow my profile here) or there will also be copies available at Gay Romance Reviews (you can find out how to join their review team here).


THE BLURB

Magic isn’t real, is it?

Parker’s intuition has been itching for months—no, it’s probably closer to years—telling him something isn’t quite right in Willow Lake. But sometimes it’s safer to ignore the feeling than expose truths you don’t want to face. Especially when Levi, the handsome and beefy owner of the local motel, is right in the middle of all the weirdness.

Okay, okay.

Parker might have an itty-bitty crush on the big guy, but who can blame him? Levi is delicious… and as the owner of a café, Parker knows a thing or two about tasty treats.

And now Parker’s Nana is in town and she hasn’t come alone. She’s dragged his cousin and his paranormal investigative team along with her. But her arrival couldn’t have come at a worse time, because Parker was finally making progress with Levi.

Now what is he supposed to do? Because, for the record, it is incredibly difficult to flirt when your grandmother is eyeing everyone, including Levi, like she’s in the FBI and they are in the Mafia… or like she’s Van Helsing hunting down a bunch of powerful supernatural beings.

Because that’s ridiculous. Really.

Right?
