Under Vixens Mere

Kit Fielding

After Harry Jones takes his life in the chilling waters of Vixens Mere, not one body is found by the police rescue team, but two. 
 
"A darkly humorous and deeply moving tale of community" - Ruth Hogan 
 
Tucked away in the English countryside, the run-down marina at Vixens Mere hosts a ragtag community of houseboats whose lives are as tangled as their mooring ropes. 
 
Harry Jones’s death dredges up more than grief: a second body in the water, hidden love affairs, and old grudges. As the marina begins to reveal the truths of the past, its dwellers unify against investigators, vindictive exes, and anyone else who tries to break them. 
 
The boats of Vixens Mere brim with secrets… A marriage broken by war, a guilty lover returning, a ramshackle haven for aging hippies, a newcomer chasing a better life, a home haunted by addiction, and a loyal outcast whose devotion turns deadly. 
 
Step aboard and lose yourself in the secrets, betrayals, and unbreakable ties of a small community. 
 
"Kit Fielding has done an excellent job of managing his large cast and of bringing every one of them to life. And of killing some of them." - Bruno Noble, author of "The Colletta Cassettes"

Andrea Smith

I live in Springfield, Ohio. (Don't worry - my cats are safe.) 
I'm pushing thirty. 
Anndd . . . my career sucks. 
On top of all that, my elderly although well-meaning landlady has made it her life's mission to make sure I walk down the aisle. But this time - she's gone too far! She rented the other side of my duplex to a guy she claims is hot eye candy, and get this: he has his own business! 
Yep! He is 'The Bug Guy - Licensed to Kill.' 
He and I did not get off on the right foot for a slew of reasons. But then - my 30th birthday bash happened and in a rare departure from my normal behavior, I totally lost all social inhibitions (with the help of tequila) and awoke to . . . total confusion! Did I mention I was totally naked and The Bug Guy's tee shirt was under my bed? 
Just when I thought things couldn't get any weirder - well, I was proven oh-so-wrong!

Bewicched - The Sea Wicche...

Seana Kelly

I'm Arwyn Cassandra Corey, the sea wicche, or the wicche who lives by the sea. It requires a lot more work than I'd anticipated to remodel an abandoned cannery and turn it into an art gallery & tea bar. It's coming along, though, especially with the help of a new werewolf who's joined the construction crew. He does beautiful work. His sexy, growly, bearded presence is very hard to ignore, but I'm trying. I'm not sure how such a laid-back guy got the local Alpha and his pack threatening to hunt him down and tear him apart, but we all have our secrets. And because I don't want to know his—or yours for that matter—I wear these gloves. Clairvoyance makes the simplest things the absolute worst. Trust me. Or don't. Totally up to you. 
 
 
 
Did I mention my mother and grandmother are pressuring me to assume my rightful place on the Corey Council? That's a kind of governing triad for our ancient magical family, one that has more than its fair share of black magic practitioners. And yes, before you ask, people have killed to be on the council—one psychotic sorceress aunt comes to mind—but I have no interest in the power or politics that come with the position. I'd rather stick to my art and, in the words of my favorite sea wicche, help poor unfortunate souls. (Good luck trying to get that song out of your head now.) 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.

So when the eccentric Baron von Baugenwitz is found poisoned in a castle dungeon locked from the inside, new life stirs in Angela. Finally, a problem to solve!
