Second chances are as good as any spell, and she’s not passing this one up.

Gales Haven is a small town hidden from the rest of the world. For centuries, it’s been a refuge for those with magic. It’s where witches and wizards can let their eccentricities hang loose.

Years after leaving home, Marla is coming back with her tail tucked between her legs. Her two teenage children are sparking with their emerging powers, and as the only dud in a family of remarkable mages, she can’t help them.

When Marla returns, her family welcomes her with open arms. Her grandmother and three aunts are wild, loud-mouthed, and brazen. They’re also powerhouses not to be messed with. No matter what, family always has your back.

Finally, Marla is where she belongs. And when her first love is possibly interested in picking up where they left off, even when she disappeared without a forwarding address, well, Marla only wishes she came back sooner.

Even when the trouble starts, and the spell that has protected the town all these years goes on the fritz, there’s nowhere Marla would rather be. That is, until she starts hearing a little hedgehog sassing her, anyhow...

Perfect Pending

Not a day over fabulous. 

Marla figured returning to her small hometown would be the start of a simple life—albeit one with magic.

She figured wrong.

Magic was part of the deal, but the new role assigned to her wasn’t. What does she know about detecting?

Nothing at all, a fact made plainly obvious during her first day on the job.

What do a foul-mouthed leprechaun and Spanx have in common? Marla is about to find out...

Magical Mayhem

Not a day over fabulous. 

Marla Gawama is the new detective of Gales Haven.

She knows nothing about sleuthing, but her nan assigned her the job, and what Bessie Gawama wants, she gets.

Marla does her best to carry out her new detective doo-ties. She even dons her comfortable running shoes and sets out to get ’er done.

But when some bumbling bumpkins show up in town, and Haveners start losing their marbles left and right, it becomes clear she’s not cut out for the job.

That never stopped a Gawama witch before.

And she isn’t going to let it stop her now.

One thing the Gawamas know how to do is ride with the crazy.

Charmed Caper

Luanne and Shawna Gawama head out of Gales Haven for a spontaneous day of adventurous fun. They expect to drink a little too much and dance the night away. Definitely to forget about all the trouble that’s befallen their hometown since their niece Marla’s return.

Instead, they run smack dab into trouble worse than any Spanx-pilfering leprechauns or back-talking hedgehogs. The kind of trouble not even their powerful family is prepared to face.

But these redheads know how to weather storms. And they do it together.

When strangers test the borders of their safe village, the Gawama witches aren’t ready to take them on—but that won’t stop them from kicking ass however they can. They’re resourceful and they don’t give a hoot what anyone thinks of them—a fiery combination. They have better things to worry about, like discovering the best glazed doughnuts and surviving the bond of sisterhood.

* Smexy Shenanigans is an optional novella in the Witches of Gales Haven series told from Aunt Luanne Gawama's point of view. The story takes place chronologically between book 3, Charmed Caper, and book 5, Homecoming Hijinks. It can be read as a standalone, though it's funnest to read it between books 3 and 5. It isn't necessary to read this novella to continue with Marla Gawama's adventures.

Smexy Shenanigans

Marla Gawama is getting the hang of being the only detective in town. The weird is seeming less weird and—

Ha. No, not really. The odd just keeps getting stranger. It is Gales Haven after all.

But Marla, like a champ, is learning how to be an interpreter for a no-nonsense hedgehog matriarch, how to solve minor crimes in Spanx and confectionary, and how to balance her kids’ needs with her new love life.

Then a surprise visitor arrives in town and it’s welcome to the crapfest.

The woman shows up like the devil’s on her heels, whipping at her back. And though Marla had once wished for something like this to happen, she’s no longer sure she wants it at all. Where’s the return policy on this one?

Especially when the unexpected guest has company...

Be careful what you wish for. Turns out that cautionary saying is right on the money.

* Homecoming Hijinks is a humorous Paranormal Women’s Fiction fantasy. If you love snarky stories with women so empowered they’re a force to be reckoned with, then you’ll love the Witches of Gales Haven series.

Homecoming Hijinks

Just when Marla Gawama thinks she might be getting the hang of her detective doo-ties, the universe has to go and prove her wrong.

The town of Gales Haven is highly eccentric—part of its charm—so Marla is no stranger to quirks.

But when the townsfolk start acting odder than usual, Marla realizes something is up. The friendly gigolo Danny isn’t the only one to make shmexy rounds to entertain the locals. And even the talking mouse who terrorizes the kitchen of Gawama Mama House is proving to be a horn-dog.

Since she’s stuck with the role of town detective, it’s up to her to figure out what the hell is going on and to return Haveners to their usual level of strangeness—not too much, just right. Though a town full of leg-humping witches and wizards is pretty funny.

Every good Gawama knows: “If you can’t fight the crazy, love the crazy.” And Marla is a Gawama witch through and through.

Pesky Potions is a humorous paranormal women’s fiction fantasy. If you love snarky stories with women so empowered they’re a force to be reckoned with, then you’ll love the Witches of Gales Haven series.

Pesky Potions

Marla survived another mad caper, one she solved by the skin of her teeth. Her ankle might never be the same after all that creature humping, and there are some Haveners she’ll never be able to look at the same, but at least no one’s in love with her who doesn’t want to be.

She only has the one boyfriend now, and Quade Contonn is more than enough wizard for her. In fact, he’s the perfect fit. After decades apart, reuniting with her first love couldn’t be going better.

At this point, you’d think she’d have earned herself a little vacay from all of Gales Haven’s kooky problems. But nope. Not a chance.

The ancestral Gawama home is being rowdier than usual, clamoring for Marla’s attention at every turn. When the bewitched house unleashes a whole host of problems, and very vocal ones at that, Marla knows she’s in for a heaping, screeching serving of trouble.

She’s never in the mood for detecting, but this time? Marla also has her own personal ... complication to deal with, and this one’s here to stay. Who said your forties are too late to start over? Hopefully no one, because for Marla, starting over is the only way to go.

* Mischievous Manor is the final book in the Witches of Gales Haven series.
