It's Maple Hollow's Harvest Festival - pumpkins, potions, and... poison? Hazel Thorne is ready for cinnamon spells and cider. But when a prized judge keels over during the pie contest, and the evidence points to magical tampering, Hazel is once again at the top of the suspect list. To make things worse, Rufus has been sneaking off at night, Officer Grady is avoiding her, and her spells have started backfiring in public. As gossip brews and danger grows, Hazel must trust herself - and her magic - to save the town from its deadliest scandal yet. Warm, witchy, and wickedly funny, Spells & Suspicion is a cozy mystery full of charm, suspense, and pumpkin spice secrets.

The author, a lifelong lover of both mystery and the comforting embrace of a good cup of tea, finds endless inspiration in the quiet charm of autumnal landscapes and the peculiar goings-on of small towns. With a background steeped in the art of storytelling, they delight in weaving tales where the mundane and the magical intertwine, and where the greatest mysteries are often solved with a sprinkle of wit and a dash of courage. When not crafting cozy mysteries, they can be found tending to their own herb garden or, of course, enjoying the delightful aroma of pumpkin spice.
