The Case of
The Endangered Witch
Ella had her whole ‘magical’ life mapped out—until she discovered real magic.... One night, aspiring concert pianist Ella Wentworth enchants an audience of 800. When she misses a note, her confidence—and reality—spirals. Moments later, her hair turns arctic white, and her world descends into Disneyesque hallucinations where everyday objects appear to sparkle, levitate, and...flash mob. Enter Dr Kendra Hamilton, who specialises in cases of ‘trauma-induced spontaneous hair depigmentation.’ But with Kendra’s tennis player grip and ability to summon lightning, Ella believes there's more to this psychiatrist's credentials than MD. What does a mental health professional mean by “you're a witch?” Now, hidden forces are circling—nefarious beings that know what Ella is before she does. They remember witches of her ilk. And they want them extinct. All this magical hoo-ha unfolds behind the backs of her human husband, Max, and her daughter. But any day now, she'll confess she's a witch. Right? Right? Because if she waits too long… she might not live to explain it. The Magic Investigations Society Archive is a page-turning series where murder meets magic and witches still have day jobs. For fans of paranormal cozy mysteries heightened in fantasy adventure. YA and up.

The Case of
The Formidable Fiend
A rising star of classical music should not become addicted to crime scenes. Specifically—interdimensional ones. When a witch is murdered in the magic realm, Celwia’s elite erupts in outcry. The political tinderbox enflames, latching onto Ella—what subtle role might she have played in the death? With her unique magic abilities, she relives the victim’s final, brutal moments—and prays it never happens again. It does. Ella is compelled to aid the investigation, haunted by her inciting speech at the Celwian election, but will the demanding case devastate her career? Toby Hawkins is no help; the selectively charming captain of the MIS Special Projects team is her enabler. Misery loves company. An alarming pattern of mystical murders should be enough to scare her back to her life on Earth—as a concert pianist, wife, and young mother. But the truth? She’s never felt more alive. The Magic Investigations Society Archive is a page-turning series where murder meets magic and witches still have day jobs. For fans of paranormal cozy mysteries heightened in fantasy adventure.
