The Mysterious
Case of the Missing Motive
The Redemption
Detective Agency Book 1
by Michele Pariza
Wacek
Genre: Cozy
Mystery
When life gives
you lemons, make lemonade. Or maybe a gin and tonic.
Emily Hildebrandt has run into a bit of a rough patch. She's lost her job, her
fiancé and her apartment. Still, she never expected to be desperate enough to
accept an invitation to live with her eccentric Aunt Tilde in Redemption,
Wisconsin.
But, beggars can't be choosers. Even if part of the deal is she has to pretend
to work at her aunt's latest hair-brained scheme, The Redemption Detective
Agency.
Seriously, the woman is a retired nurse. Why does she think she's remotely
qualified to run a detective agency, especially in a creepy little town like
Redemption?
But, when a strange phone call suddenly thrusts them into an actual case, Emily
finds herself hoping her aunt really does know what she's doing ... or an
innocent person may be the one to suffer the consequences.
A spin-off from the Charlie Kingsley Mystery series! The Redemption Detective

Bestselling, award-winning author, Michele taught herself to read at 3 years
old because she wanted to write stories so badly. It took some time (and some
detours) but now she does spend much of her time writing stories. Mystery
stories, to be exact. They're clean and twisty, and range from psychological
thrillers to cozies, with a dash of romance and supernatural thrown into the
mix. If that wasn't enough, she posts lots of fun things on her blog, including
short stories, puzzles, recipes and more, at MPWNovels.com.
Michele grew up in Wisconsin, (hence why all her books take place there), and
still visits regularly, but she herself escaped the cold and now lives in the
mountains of Prescott, Arizona with her husband and southern squirrel hunter
Cassie.
When she's not writing, she's usually reading, hanging out with her dog, or
watching the Food Network and imagining she's an awesome cook. (Spoiler alert,
she's not. Luckily for the whole family, Mr. PW is in charge of the cooking.)

Not only is the amazingly popular series
experiencing a relaunch, new stories will continue to be published. You’ll be
surprised and delighted to see where the Pinkerton Matchmaker characters take
you in the future.
More good news is that Barr 26, the new publisher, is committed to recording audio versions of each of these books! You can understand that with the number of titles in this lengthy series, the process will not happen overnight. However, I’ve heard the audio version of AN AGENT FOR MAGDALA. Chris Kenworth, narrator, did an excellent job of using a different voice for each character. The result impressed me, even though authors are very protective of their babies. I also was able to listen to intro to AN AGENT FOR LYDIA. Very exciting!
Remember that the books are "wide", which means they can be read for free through KOBO's subscription service. And KOBO's monthly subscription is $7.99 for e-books or $9.99 for e-books and audiobooks. The series is also available through the public library system.
I hope you can join in the parties for fun, prizes, and information. I can hardly wait. In fact, I'm already planning games to amuse you (at least, I hope they will).
Thanks for stopping by. Stay safe and keep reading!
A hard-edged werewolf crashes into the life of an isolated
witch who has temporarily given up her magic. They must overcome their
differences and learn to harness their dangerous powers to stop a supernatural
evil from corrupting their small town nestled in the Appalachian Mountains.
The Witches of Claw and Fang
by Zach Stivers
Genre: Paranormal Romance, Thriller
Welcome to the cozy mountain town of Pineville, Virginia.
It’s autumn, the leaves are gold and orange, the apples are crisp and sweet,
town residents are going missing, and a bloodthirsty monster with ten-inch
claws is loose in the forest.
Morgan Reaves tries her damndest NOT to use magic. That’s why she hid in
Pineville, after all. But now, Morgan needs to dust off her spell-casting
skills, ASAP. Problem is, she may have lost her touch.
She has another problem, too, and it smells like wet dog.
Max: AKA the naked man with rip-cord tight muscles that stumbled out of the
woods near Morgan’s house, ranting about curses and conspiracies and a coven of
witches.
Is he a werewolf? Well, yes. But he’s also the only one who can help her defeat
whatever evil is threatening her adopted hometown. That is, if they manage to
not kill each other first...

Zach Stivers lives with his wife in Virginia, at the foot of
the Shenandoah National Park. He loves to tell people they do lots of hiking in
their free time, but usually they just go for a short stroll in the woods with
their dogs and then stop off for a drink or two at the local brewery. That
still counts as hiking, right? He has a degree in English Literature from
Florida State University, runs really slow half-marathons, and leads an
overly-competitive book club that reads a book a week … or else.

New cover, Mildly sensual, Some profanity, historical, 65,000 words. Hope Montoya knows someone is poisoning her, but who? She suspects her mother was also poisoned and knows her father was murdered. Who wants her family eliminated? She vows to fight! She realizes she won’t last the eight months until she turns twenty-five and her uncle no longer controls her or her estate. Never will she be dominated by a man as she was by her father, as she has seen her mother and grandmothers dominated. If she marries, she gains control now, but only if she weds a man she can trust. Only one man meets her requirements. Can she trust him to protect her and capture the killer...but then to leave?
Micah Stone has been in love with Hope since the first time he saw her. But he was accused of her father’s murder and surely would have hung if not for his two brothers’ aid. Most in the community still believe him guilty. But the drought has him too worried about water for his dying cattle to care about his neighbors’ opinions. When Hope proposes a paper marriage in exchange for land on the Brazos River and much needed cash, her offer rubs his pride raw. His name may be Stone, but he’s not made of it. He can’t refuse her for long, and so their adventure begins.

He’s shocked that the beautiful girl in the picture is alive…
She Talks to Eagles
by Maggie Blackbird
Genre: Paranormal Time-Travel Romance
He’s shocked that the beautiful girl in the picture is alive…
Maybe the stories of the notorious Route 66 are true. Road
trips don’t result in encountering ghosts, but they do for Collin Bird.
When he spies a beautiful girl hitchhiking during a thunderstorm, he can’t
believe his eyes. It’s Rosemary, a young woman from his Ojibway community
who went missing over forty years ago.
Rosemary Kakeway is dead. Her only hope to reach the
spirit world is Collin. Before departing to the place of her ancestors,
she seeks vengeance against her killers, and Collin is the man to help her do
just that.
A ride with Rosemary through pea-soup fog brings Collin to
1977, where he meets a very much alive nineteen-year-old Rosemary. The
bold and wild girl is nothing like he imagined her to be as she introduces him
to a time he embraces. Knowing they are meant to be together, neither
wishes to say goodbye, but that’s up to Rosemary’s spirit in the twenty-first
century to decide.

loves most.
