Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Day of the Dead is a sweet celebration…until a real ghost starts getting salty. As the town of Las Vegas, New Mexico, prepares to jump on the Day of the Dead bandwagon, Skye O’Malley reluctantly agrees to use her coffee shop kitchen to make several batches of sugar skulls for the celebration…all the while wondering if it’s such a great idea to stir up the local ghosts for fun and profit. When a large mural at the downtown park where the festival is to take place is defaced, Skye is asked to use her psychic abilities to divine who — or what — is the culprit. She encounters the restless, angry ghost of a young woman whose murderer was never caught. Investigating this cold case is tougher than usual, because Skye now wears her superstar boyfriend Max Sullivan’s engagement ring — and the paparazzi are underfoot at every turn. Overwhelmed but determined, Skye calls on all her resources, psychic and otherwise, to find the key to solving this decades-old mystery. Before an angry ghost wreaks havoc — and a killer escapes justice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a movie shoot ends in murder, a caffeine fix might be the star’s only hope. Skye O’Malley’s grandmother always told her she inherited the Sight. But other than an occasional message from a blob of tea leaves or a vague dream, Skye doesn’t think she’s anything special, since she can’t even predict which of her coffee-shop customers will order hard-core black or fancy frou-frou with extra foam. The only instinct she can rely on is the jangly feeling that something is about to happen. Like when her best friend (and only employee) Deanne tells her that a film crew is coming to their hometown of Las Vegas, New Mexico. The lead is Hollywood’s hottest action-movie star, Max Sullivan, who just happens to be Skye’s former "boy next door"…and her lifelong, unrequited crush. Just having him around unbalances Skye's carefully curated existence. But when she starts having disturbing dreams involving Max and a prop gun, she can’t ignore them. Especially when the film’s notoriously unpleasant director turns up dead, and the evidence points to one prime suspect. Max. Max needs a miracle, not a not-quite witch. But he’s placing all his trust in Skye — and her murky tea leaves — to help him find the real culprit before the actual murderer gets away clean.

She’s a “familiar whisperer” — someone who can communicate with other witches’ troubled familiars and resolve their problems. When Darla Fitzgerald, an influential but abrasive witch, brings in her familiar, Milo, Charity runs into a barrier she’s never before encountered. The spaniel isn’t talking. At all. And when a potion to reveal Milo’s thoughts doesn’t work, Charity calls Darla to get more information...only to learn the woman has been found dead. But that’s not the weird part. Though familiars always pass with their witches, Milo is hale and hearty. After something — or someone — attacks the dog, Charity desperately calls local vet (and secret crush) Noah Jenkins for help. Now Charity is walking a double tightrope: How to manage her attraction to Noah without revealing the world of witches right under his nose...while trying to figure out who would go to any lengths — including dognapping — to ensure Milo stays silent as the grave. Note: Spells and Spaniels is Book 1 in USA Today bestselling author Christine Pope’s newest series, “Familiar Spirits”. Contains a slow-burn romance that develops over the course of the series, a murder mystery of Olympic proportions, and an adorable cocker spaniel who needs his Wubby.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brew may be strong, but the secrets are stronger…. Welcome to Globe, Arizona, where the hops are fresh, the competition is frothy, and murder is on tap. The small town is buzzing with the news of the High Country Brewing Competition, an event that promises to stir more than just beer. But when the competition turns lethal and a contestant is found drowned in a vat meant for show, the town’s peaceful façade begins to crumble. Enter Selena, full-time witchy shopkeeper, part-time sleuth, whose knack for reading auras and Tarot cards sets her on the trail of the killer. She has less than two days to unveil the murderer who hides behind a masquerade of friendly faces and handcrafted ales. Every clue, aura, and turn of a Tarot card points Selena deeper into a mystery where jealousy ferments into malice. As Selena navigates through the motley crew of brewers — each with more to hide than their secret recipes — the stakes soar higher than the foam on a pint of IPA. From illicit affairs to shady deals with drug dealers, the suspects’ list grows longer than the beer list at a taproom. And when Selena’s own shop is vandalized, it’s clear that she’s rattling someone’s cage — and that she may be closing in on a truth more bitter than the darkest stout. Pour yourself into a chair and crack open this cozy paranormal mystery, where the clues are as puzzling as an ancient ale recipe and solving the crime is as intricate as brewing the perfect beer. Will Selena uncover the murderer before the last call, or will the killer’s identity remain as elusive as a ghostly whisper among the barrels? In Globe, the truth is just a sip away….

Book excerpt: Their battle for survival becomes a battle for her heart…. In the harsh landscape of a world reborn from the ashes of a djinn-created apocalypse, Rowan Aames has carved out a life of solitary resilience in a remote valley in the northern New Mexico wilderness, where the arrival of Jamal al-Qadir challenges everything she knows. Disguised as James Aguilar, Jamal brings with him the promise of a new beginning…and the peril of a deep secret. Their connection is immediate, a fragile thread woven from shared solitude and cautious trust. As Rowan welcomes James into her makeshift haven, they navigate the complexities of a world where survival is a day-to-day gamble, and companionship is a rare treasure. James’s small acts of magic, meant to ease Rowan’s burden, become the catalyst for a change neither of them can ignore. Yet beneath the surface of their growing bond lies the tension of James’s true identity and the inevitable revelation that could shatter their fragile trust. When Jamal steps in to save Rowan’s life, a sudden, rash decision propels them into the crosshairs of djinn politics and human pride, where their journey becomes a delicate dance of love and deception, with the future of their relationship hinging on the courage to face the truth…and the strength to forge a new path together.

Book excerpt: It’s the murder investigation of Selena’s life…but this time she’s flying blind. Selena’s pregnancy is progressing without a hitch. Well, just one. Her aura-reading gift has disappeared. She’s not thrilled, but her in-laws assure her it’s simply a side effect of marrying into Calvin Standingbear’s shifter tribe. As soon as the baby is born, all will be well. Probably. Hopefully. Luckily, Selena doesn’t need her odd little gift when she hires the perfect shop assistant off Craigslist in preparation for her upcoming maternity leave. So she puts that worry out of her mind — only to have it quickly replaced by another. Her friend Archie has been receiving blackmail letters from someone who hints they know about his secret past as a cursed cat. Unfortunately, it’s pretty hard to brush it off as just a jealous dance competitor when Archie's fiancée Victoria finds the blackmailer sprawled dead on her studio floor. This puts quite a damper on their upcoming wedding…especially when Victoria is arrested for murder. Without her aura-reading gift, Selena can only reach out to the spirit world with her Tarot and her pendulums. With a blind spot like that, there’s plenty of opportunity for the real murderer to go free. Or get too close….

Now not only does she have a highly annoyed talking cat, a murderer has taken notice….

TAKEN With her djinn lover imprisoned by a survivalist group intent on eradicating all his kind, Jessica Monroe teams up with another of the Chosen to make the dangerous journey into the heart of Los Alamos.

BROKEN Julia Innes, leader of the Immune survivors in Los Alamos, has done her best to ensure that the rest of her fellow Immune have settled into their new lives after the Dying. Even the friendly Santa Fe djinn have followed suit, creating a calm between the two cities — a world of peaceful co-existence. But all is not as it seems... FORSAKEN Ever since the Dying, Madison Reynolds has been in hiding.

She impulsively invites Josh to her family’s Christmas gathering, leading to a series of heartwarming and heart-wrenching events. As Miranda stands on the brink of a life she never chose, a heart-to-heart with her mother sheds light on the complexities of arranged marriages and the unexpected paths to happiness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the past blows into town, a witch goes along for the ride. Surprises aren’t Skye O’Malley’s favorite thing, but this gloomy February is full of them. Fix My Town, a reality renovation show, has set its sights on Skye’s little coffee shop — and won’t take her emphatic “no” for an answer. Worse, the producers are staying in the same rental that was the scene of a murder just a few months earlier. A harbinger of things to come? Skye begins to wonder…especially when an apparition from the past blows into town. Alicia Petrucci, who abandoned Skye as a baby, is back to teach Skye the ways of Petrucci family magic. Skye would like to throw her newly resurfaced mother out on her ear, but the temptation to strengthen her magic is hard to resist. With Alicia’s guidance, Skye’s true powers begin to emerge — along with the hope that she can build a relationship with the mother she never knew. But when one of the show’s producers is murdered and Alicia is accused of the crime, Skye will need more than tea leaves and dreams to prove her innocence. She’ll need to move mountains...and outrun the real killer before she becomes the next victim.

At least, that’s what Skye O’Malley tells herself when A-list actor Max Sullivan invites her to their hometown's annual harvest festival. He’s just grateful she helped him clear his name of murder charges, that’s all. It’s a friendly, platonic outing, as innocent as a batch of pumpkin chocolate-chunk muffins. Until they make a grisly discovery in the corn maze. A dead body. And not just any dead body — it’s the town’s mayor. The last thing Skye needs is to get tangled up in another murder case, especially considering her unreliable psychic skills. But Max has such unwavering faith in her potential, she reluctantly consults her tea leaves. Which show her nothing but…good luck symbols? Maybe it's time to push her boundaries a little. However, consulting YouTube for spellcasting how-to videos probably wasn’t Skye's best choice. Because not only does she now have a highly annoyed talking cat to deal with, a murderer has taken notice of her activities. And will stop at nothing to remind her she should have stayed in her own lane….

Book excerpt: He’s determined to destroy humankind…until her tiny spark of magic changes everything. With her entire family wiped out by the Djinn-created plague called the Heat, there’s no one left to teach Isla Dunbar how to use the magic tingling deep in her body. She lives among the other survivors in the thriving Los Alamos settlement, protected by an ingenious device that repels djinn reavers. But she’s lonely. In fact, when it comes to hooking up, Isla would rather just die a virgin. When she’s tricked into wandering out of the safe zone, Isla is kidnapped by a threatening djinn determined to disable the Los Alamos device and wipe out the last of humanity. But Isla is just as determined to resist his intense interrogation — and the temptation of his dark eyes, golden skin, and shiver-inducing smile. If Aamir al-Qadir thought he would intimidate Isla into giving up all she knows, he thought wrong. Her beauty and sass are distracting enough, but something about her catches him off-guard. She’s no ordinary human, but a creature of untapped magic that makes her a prize for the power-hungry djinn. Without conscious thought, Aamir’s focus shifts from destroying Los Alamos to protecting the unusual woman who’s stolen the one thing he thought impenetrable…his heart.

Book excerpt: Nobody knew him. But everyone feared him. From asphyxiation to yellow fever, Death had been the chauffer of souls for much longer than he cared to remember. Whether they were destined to Heaven or Hell, the cynical reaper had been forever responsible for the delivery of the deceased spirits. After spending all of eternity doing the same thing day in and day out with archangel Michael as his partner, Death was growing rather weary of his monotonous job. But when a chance encounter with the gifted child, Anya Smith, stirred up trouble in his routine, Death would soon find himself wishing for that comfortable monotony... Condemned by God to live a mortal life in order to see why good people had to die, Death must quickly learn to adjust to his newly borrowed body, once belonging to a homeless man by the name of Noah Quinn. Having no experience with human emotion much less mankind's general fragility, Death must adopt Noah's alias and dodge the advances of threats both physical and supernatural, all the while trying to keep Anya safe under his care. Betrayal, insanity, and pain both physical and mental are just the start of Noah's experiences with the living. Life among people surely holds many lessons, but Noah will soon learn more about the living than he bargained for: namely that it was a hell of a lot easier being dead than alive. Candy Skulls provides a unique look into the mechanics of human emotion. The casual blend of dark humor and suspense creates a compelling story about the successes and flaws of mankinds' relationship with the world, and an individual's relationship with himself.
