BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR...
A Westwick Witches Cozy Paranormal Mystery
Dead billionaires are not good for business! That's what Aunt Pearl complains to Cen when the dead body is found in the cozy family inn at Westwick Corners.
Still, it's not Cen's problem. She lives an ordinary life away from her witch-ful family for a reason. She got her ordinary fiancé and her ordinary job as a journalist using no magic whatsoever, and no inconvenient local murder is going to change her comfortable existence.
Even if the entire town is now accusing Aunt Pearl of murdering her guest. Even if her fiancé is acting weird and talking about seeing ghosts. Even if the town's sexy new sheriff, Tyler Gates, treats her like the most hexing of all the witches...
If you love funny cozy mysteries infused with a dose of humor and the supernatural, you’ll love this paranormal witch cozy!
The books in the series are standalone and can be read in any order.

"...A bewitching, supernatural treat. If you love witch cozy mysteries you'll love Cendrine West and her wacky witch family!"
Westwick Corners isn't your typical small town. Or even a normal ghost town. It's where people go not to be found, and witches go to work their magic without attracting too much attention. The combination makes from some interesting and humorous mysteries, and the witches are always at the center of the action!
Ruby's cooking, Cendrine's amateur sleuth and investigator activities, and Aunt Pearl's magic school are always looking for that one secret ingredient that will propel the witches to fame and fortune and put the small town of Westwick Corners back on the map again. The witches are forever cooking up new business opportunities like The Westwick Corners Inn, The Witching Post Bar and Grill, and of course, Pearl's Charm School, where witches go to unravel riddles, spin magic spells, and create their own witch mysteries. Too bad they are forever getting distracted because there are always strange things happening in Westwick Corners, from petty crime to murder.
The West family has always been in Westwick Corners and always will be. They descend from a long line of witches who have inhabited Westwick Corners from the beginning.
Witches who unlock mysteries, solve crime, and help those in need. They are collectively a kind of a witch of all trades, because pitching in--or is it witching in-- is what you do in a small town. Everyone helps out. Even Grandma Vi the ghost investigates and sleuths. But when everyone pulls together, it's not always in the same direction! If you like a good puzzle, a good laugh, and a good witch mystery series, you'll love these cozy mystery books! Available both as ebook cozy mystery books and cozy mystery paperbacks.
I am writing the next book in this series of paranormal cozy mysteries, a cozy paranormal that takes place on Christmas Eve. As long as people like these humorous cozy mysteries I will keep on writing them. Thanks for reading!

Witch You Well is the first in the Westwick Witches Cozy Mystery series. It released on March 2, 2016 on Amazon, a few days ago as of this writing. It is ranking very well in its categories of Cozy Mystery and Mystery/Supernatural/Ghosts and Witches (in top 200). These are very popular and competitive categories in the English language market. I will update this information in the coming months.
I had just pulled my ringing cell phone from my purse when Aunt Pearl flew into my newsroom office. And I mean literally flew in—a definite no-no during daylight hours. The fact that we’re witches wasn't exactly a well-kept secret in tiny Westwick Corners, but it was best not to flaunt it.
She hovered by the door and frowned. "Cendrine!”
Aunt Pearl only used my full name when angry. Maybe I was angry too. I had been at the office since six a.m. to get caught up. It was almost noon and I was tired, hungry, and sweaty, since my a/c gave up the ghost first thing this morning. My office thermostat read ninety degrees, but I couldn't afford to fix it.
Now what remained of my day was about to be derailed. Well, not if I could help it.
I ignored her as my phone rang. I checked the call display. It was Mom again. She had already called me a half-dozen times this morning with questions about my wedding rehearsal and the grand opening of our family's Westwick Corners Inn, both of which were scheduled for later today. I probably should have just stayed home.
"Cendrine, our new sheriff is a jerk. I want you do an exposé on him." She lingered by the doorway, waiting for my reaction.
"No." I turned away and answered my cell.
Mom was frantic. "Cen, I can't find Pearl. I'm worried she's gone off and done something crazy again."
I pressed the speakerphone button and raised my brows at Aunt Pearl. "She's here with me."
Aunt Pearl approached my desk and yelled into the phone. "I don't need a babysitter, Ruby. I'm perfectly capable of amusing myself."
