I’m so happy to finally be able to share this news with you—Ghosts, Lies, and Alibis, the second book in the Laguna Bay Midlife Witch Cozy Mystery series, has officially arrived! 
This one feels especially close to my heart. Coming back to Laguna Bay and spending time again with Boo Boudreaux, her sharp-witted (and ancient) feline companion, Kheppy, and the rest of the town’s delightfully complicated residents felt a bit like coming home. I hope it feels that way for you, too.
In this new mystery, life at the Boo-tique is anything but quiet. A ghost with unfinished business makes her presence known, long-buried secrets begin to surface, and Boo finds herself once again caught between the practical life she’s built and the magic she can never quite avoid. With Kheppy offering her usual dry commentary—and more than a few timely interventions—Boo must untangle truth from rumor before the past claims another victim.
You’ll find plenty of cozy staples inside these pages:
A close-knit coastal town
A wise, talking cat with opinions
Gentle magic and lingering ghosts
Friendship, community, and second chances
…and yes, unfortunately, murder knocking far too close to Boo’s door
Ghosts, Lies, and Alibis is now available in ebook and paperback, and you can also read it through Kindle Unlimited if that’s your preferred way to curl up with a cozy mystery.
Thank you, truly, for reading, for cheering these stories on, and for welcoming Boo, Kheppy, and Laguna Bay into your reading lives. Your enthusiasm is what makes writing these books such a joy, and I can’t wait for you to experience this next adventure.
