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.

Tags: MM-Paranormal-Mystery-Romanze, Wohlfühlkrimi-Atmosphäre mit ein bisschen Leidenschaft, ein Alpha ohne Wolf, ein Typ, der gerade entdeckt hat, dass er ein Hexer ist, magische Kuchen und Kekse, übernatürliche Wesen in einer Kleinstadt, wenig Angst, jede Menge Kaffee, eine Selbsthilfegruppe für Außenseiter-Monster mit einer unglücklich verliebten Meerjungfrau, einem Schattenkobold, der Mordszenarien entwirft, einer matronenhaften Spinnenfrau, einem mürrischer Dämon, einem extrovertierter Kobold, einem schüchterner Bigfoot und Declans Hippie-Großvater

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 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.
