    About this series

    It's all hops and holidays until somebody's murdered in the beer tank…

     

    When Josie bursts into Selena's shop with a sparkly new publicity idea — a craft brew competition to promote their small town of Globe, Arizona — Selena's mind conjures up images of bearded hipsters in man buns descending upon her adopted hometown. She agrees to help, though her hunky husband Calvin might object to his six-months-pregnant wife adding even more tasks to a to-do list she's been trying to delegate.

     

    The High Country Holiday Brewing Competition transforms the old high school gym into a charming beer garden, and hopes are high the contest will boost Globe's reputation. But the doors aren't even open before one of the six competitors — the obnoxious and universally disliked Trent Reynolds — is found drowned in a fermentation tank. A tank that was supposed to be empty, only for show.

     

    Desperate to salvage the situation, Josie begs Selena to use her psychic abilities to suss out the killer so the show can go on. But Selena has only twenty-four hours to filter the killer out of a long list of suspects. With her powers somewhat sketchy due to her pregnancy, the competition might be over before it even begins…and a cool killer could get away clean.

      When you pull up stakes, make sure you don't get stabbed in the back.   Self-taught in the arcane arts, hedgewitch Selena Marx is comfortable doing divination for West Los Angeles' anxiety-ridden housewives, lawyers, and aspiring actresses. Her biggest challenge? Avoiding Lucien Dumond, leader of the Greater Los Angeles Necromancers' Guild, who views her as fresh meat to add to his harem of slavishly devoted groupies.   Selena's not interested in the slimy, celebrity-schmoozing sorcerer, but nobody turns Lucien down without consequences. When he threatens to fit her with magical cement shoes and drop her off the Santa Monica Pier, Selena's Tarot cards point her to Globe, Arizona, for a new home, a new shop, and a cursed pet cat.   Just as she's settling in and meeting the locals — including Calvin Standingbear, hunky chief of the San Ramon Apache tribal police — Lucien tracks her down…and promptly disappears. When his body turns up on tribal lands, it's up to Calvin to investigate. Starting with Selena.   And when one of Lucien's acolytes is killed, traces of dark magic and cryptic warnings from the spirits send Selena and Calvin in a race against time — before a too-close-for-comfort evil cuts her own life short.

      There's no mean girl like an internet mean girl. Especially when she's a witch.   Selena hasn't been in Globe, Arizona, very long, but she's quickly learned to be wary when her friend Josie gets a bright idea — like insisting she join the growing legion of internet witches. While being an Instagram star sounds like a good way to promote her metaphysical shop, Selena can't ignore the feeling she's about to get some pretty crappy juju dropped on her head.   It isn't as if she doesn't have time to produce content — or even date, since it appears tribal police chief Calvin Standingbear has ghosted her. Too bad the perfectly nice rancher who offers his place for a live-streamed solstice bonfire ritual doesn't strike a single spark.   But when the dark side of social media rears its ugly head, Selena's going to need all the friends she can get, including the secretive police chief. Because social media rivalries can be murder — and Selena could be targeted as a suspect…or the next victim.

      Never get into a bidding war with a demon. Winning could be murder.   One phone call from her mother, and Selena Marx's relatively quiet summer ends with the clang of alarm bells in her head. Mom and her husband are coming to Globe…and not just to meet Selena's boyfriend of two months, Calvin Standingbear. They've also dipped a toe into the local real estate market.   By buying the most haunted Victorian mansion in town. Sight unseen.   Resigned that there's no talking them out of their vacation rental dreams, Selena checks the place out for herself. Oddly, she senses nothing. But there's no mistaking the unholy racket of bangs, wails, and evil laughter blasting through the walls. Something is infesting this house, and it's not your garden-variety ghost.   This time, her arsenal of moon water, coffin nails, and rock salt isn't going to cut it. Selena needs backup, but when it arrives, the house strikes back — hard and deadly. Now her parents are murder suspects. If Selena can't find the true culprit, she could be the haunted mansion's next victim.

      Sweet baby Jesus, someone's stolen a lot of Christmas dough!   All is calm and bright as Globe, Arizona's holiday celebrations approach. Selena Marx should have known it wouldn't stay that way. The painted snowflakes on her shop window are barely dry when her best friend, Josie Woodrow, bursts in with news that the baby Jesus is missing from the crèche in front of St. Ignatius.   Selena has enough on her mind without having to use her psychic powers to suss out the culprit. Her boyfriend Calvin Standingbear's parents are still on the snow-covered fence about accepting her, which throws a dimmer on the town's highly anticipated Festival of Lights. And when Calvin springs a surprise on the solstice, Selena realizes she has some work to do to reconcile the two men in her life: Calvin, and her cursed cat, Archie.   The last thing she needs is a spontaneous vision that indicates the baby Jesus theft was more than just a prank. And if someone doesn't spill the beans soon, someone's getting away with…well, not murder (this time), but a whole lot of dough — and we're not talking cookies.
