It better not be another ghost...
After moving to escape someone no one else could see, I finally got my own apartment. Ghosts have followed me around since childhood, but between unpacking and culinary classes, I don’t have time to deal with wayward spirits.
Mom and Gram say they’ve warded my new place against ghosts, whatever that means, but soon, things begin to fall over, move around, and roll across the floor.
I may not be as alone as I had hoped. Will an uninvited roommate chase me out before I can settle in? Or will I be forced to live with the dead once again?

Raspberry Truffle Murder Wendy Meadows
When Nikki’s husband of 20 years decided that he wanted a different life in Los Angeles it spawns a new life for her as well. Leaving behind Atlanta and her Journalism career there, she and her college bound son move to the small and tightknit town of Maple Hills, Vermont. With a bustling tourist season, the thriving community seems the perfect place to set up her new Chocolate Shop… yet opening day proves more deadly than profitable.
A hit and run right outside her shop door leaves a man dead and questions swirling. When the victim is identified as Steven Denforth, the most hated and reviled man in town, it resurrects the fissures that had recently torn Maple Hills apart.
Now he is dead and everyone is a suspect, including Nikki. As both a former reporter and an FBI Consultant, Nikki instinctively knows the dirt in Maple Hills is piled high and if she doesn’t get to the bottom of it, and to the murder, then her stay in the quaint Northern Town may very well be short lived.

BECOMING MRS. GRANGER: A Ravenwood Cove Prequel Carolyn L. Dean
The 1950s beginning to the 21st Century Grand Dame of Ravenwood Cove
Today, everyone loves Mrs. Granger in Ravenwood Cove (well, except the bad guys). At ninety-plus-years-old, she's gutsy, outspoken, and loves her friends and family with a level of protectiveness that's almost scary.
But how did she get that way? As a blushing bride, figuring out how to make a cozy life with her headstrong husband, life seems easy and full of baked pies, quilting parties, and daily laundry. When a sudden mystery shocks the people in her little beach hometown, she's suddenly catapulted into danger and intrigue she's never experienced before.
Clean language and PG-rating (at the most) because, hey, there may be a dead guy in this book.

A Ghoulish Midlife L.A. Boruff
Widow and empty nester, Ava Harper, never dreamed of turning forty without the love of her life. Nor did she know she would bury her favorite aunt, who raised her after the death of her mother, a few years later. Then again, she doesn’t have the power of foresight. No, her powers are much darker. Powers she has kept behind lock and key.
With her only son off to college and her life savings depleted, Ava returns home to Shipton Harbor, Maine. She’s only there to clean out, fix up, and sell the family home. But like everything in her life in the last five years, things change. Plans get canceled.
Arriving in Shipton Harbor is like stepping into another world. Her high school rival is married to her best friend and is set on making up for every devious thing she did when they were teens. The magic in the house reawakens, making it impossible to sell. It doesn’t want new owners, apparently. And to top it all, the sheriff looks like he belongs on the cover of a romance novel.

Magic and Mystery Izzy Wilder
My name is Esme Hightower, and I’m a psychic-in-training.
Dead people like to contact me at the most inopportune times, and I’ve learned that not all spirits play nice. Especially the disgruntled ones. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what I’m dealing with now. But that’s not my only problem. I have to solve the mystery of a stolen urn before an unfriendly ghost causes chaos. A tough task for someone who’s not a full-fledged psychic.
I hope I’m up for the challenge. If not, I’ll tarnish my family’s name and disgrace my favorite aunt—a well-known psychic who’s been widely respected for ages.
Life is never easy, but this is crazy. Wish me luck!
Magic and Mystery is the prequel to the Southern paranormal cozy mystery series, Channeling Ghosts for Beginners. It can be read as a standalone, but it’s also a great way to begin the series.
