The Case of

The Endangered Witch

Available on most International Amazon Stores

​Ella had her whole ‘magical’ life mapped out—until she discovered real magic... One night, aspiring concert pianist Ella Wentworth enchants an audience of eight hundred. 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. But how can she trust the Magic Investigations Society to protect her precious piano fingers, with the reckless Captain Toby Hawkins leading her rescue? The man officially makes her blood boil. 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 Formidable Fiend

A rising star in classical music should not become addicted to crime scenes. Specifically—interdimensional ones. When a witch is murdered in the magic realm, Celwia’s elite circles erupt in outcry. The political tinderbox enflames, latching onto Ella—what subtle role might she have played in the death? With her unique witch 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 Vanished Violinist

​Great art demands sacrifice. Sometimes, literally. A brilliant, spellbinding chamber orchestra tours to Ella’s hometown of Daylesford—and when she hears them play, her expectations are blown out of the water. How could such a technically astounding quintet not be world-renowned? For Ella, they become a lightning rod of musical inspiration—just in time for the most significant piano audition of her career. But when one of the musicians disappears, feared murdered, the mystery pulls Ella deeper into the orchestra’s mysterious and secretive world. As she’s drawn into the captivating web spun by these intense artists—and their enigmatic, powerful patrons—only two of the musicians’ so-called muses are willing to help investigate. Ella must play detective and use her lumin abilities to assist the case, even if it leads her to dangerously hypnotic entities. Can she pull away before her involvement ruins her future—or is she already in too deep? And what exactly is the role of these... muses?
