It Wasn’t Me!

Welcome to Marshmallow Hollow, Maine, a holiday mystery, where it’s all Christmas all the time and murder is hung by the chimney with care…
I’m Halliday Valentine (yep; funny name is funny), a psychic witch who’s recently moved from New York City back to my very human hometown of Marshmallow Hollow, where I run the family factory that caters to all things Christmas. I inherited the factory from Mom, who inherited from Nana Karen, but now it’s just me (kinda… long story), my curmudgeonly British familiar hummingbird, Atticus; one ungrateful rescue cat; my talking reindeer, Karen; and my BFF Stiles (the only human aware of my witchy side).

Oh, and Digby Dainty (known as Hobbs), the tall drink of water who rents my guest cottage. And who I wouldn’t mind getting to know better. We have a lot in common, including a love of true crime. So as macabre as it sounds, when a shady real estate tycoon shows up dead in the middle of the annual ice festival, I’m thrilled to spend time with Hobbs, flexing our amateur sleuthing skills.

Well… not thrilled. I mean, a guy’s dead after all. But he did try to con some businesses right out from under the hard-working locals. In fact, the only thing more surprising than a murder in our charming Christmas town is how many of my friendly, beloved neighbors seemed to want the man dead…

He wants nothing more than to go back, until she walks in…

Combat-hardened Marine Jamie Colter is home in Glacier Creek pushing his limits to return to his unit after a mortar attack left him wounded. Despite his protests, his mom has hired a family friend to help him out. But the last person he expected to see was his teenage crush, more beautiful than ever. Suddenly Jamie has more to focus on than his wounds. He has two weeks to show Rachel that despite their past, he’s her perfect man.

Following her recent divorce, Rachel McCafferty heads to her hometown of Glacier Creek, Montana, to house sit for her parents, help out a neighbor’s son and reboot her life. She’s shocked to realize the “patient” is her younger brother’s best friend. He’s most definitely not the skinny teen she remembered. She’s amazed by Jamie’s brash confidence, sense of fun and good looks, and when he makes it clear he’s hers for the taking, she finds herself rethinking all her rules about younger guys.

Deep in the Louisiana bayou, a nightmare stalks the shadows.

When a young girl goes missing near the swamps, Lux Branson is called in to investigate. Locals whisper of the Rougarou — a Cajun werewolf said to punish the wicked. But Lux isn’t one to chase ghost stories. Until the bodies start turning up.

What begins as a routine search becomes a tense and terrifying hunt through tangled wetlands, where folklore bleeds into reality and something savage lurks just out of sight.

As the full moon rises and the line between myth and monster fades, Lux must confront a creature older than the swamp itself — and the dark truth it protects.

When a secret society wants you dead, hiding in the past might be your only future.
BOOK 2 in the award-winning series THE TIME TRAVEL JOURNALS OF SAHARA ALDRIDGE Series!

Egyptologist Sahara Aldridge thought discovering King Tut’s tomb would be career-defining. Instead, it’s her cover while hunting through time for the truth about her parents.

The trail leads to Ancient Rome. And she’s not going alone.

The mysterious Tempus Vigilia has sent assassins through the centuries to silence her bloodline forever. Jack Moretti claims he’s protecting her, but his agenda shifts like desert sand. And now the society has threatened the one thing that could break her completely — her family.

In Ancient Rome, trust is a luxury she can’t afford and love might be the deadliest weapon of all.

Imperial conspiracies. Senate betrayals. Emperor Nero’s blood-soaked final days. As Sahara navigates Rome on the brink of collapse, she discovers some secrets are worth an empire’s destruction. When the conspiracy reaches Nero’s inner circle, even time travel might not save those she loves.

Will Rome give her the answers she’s dying for, or will it become her tomb?
