Say the Word: A Bookshop to Die In
Book TWO in the Lilura Witch Cozy Mystery Series is now available! Book THREE (A Mug of Magic, a Sip of Suspicion) is in the works, with a release scheduled for late summer . . .

73, Lilura “Lily” Kobe is ready for a quiet retirement—no classrooms, no witchlings, and definitely no drama. A lifelong witch, Lily has spent decades juggling a human teaching career with secret magical duties, and she’s done. When she moves to Ebonglen, a small human community with an ancient glamour over it preventing the humans from seeing or interacting with the witches and other supernatural beings living there, she’s sure she’s finally found peace.
Then the body turns up.
Reluctantly pulled back into the world she hoped to leave behind, Lily discovers that even in a place designed for rest, murder has a way of disrupting the calm. This cozy mystery series blends charm, humor, and magic, proving that retirement doesn’t mean the end of adventure—or sleuthing.

I’m getting started on my newest novel: A Tea Cozy: Magic and Murder. It will be book 3 in my Lilura Witch Cozy Mystery series. A lethal helping of hemlock leaves added to the teapot proves fatal for a neighbor of Esmeralda, the witch who just purchased the Nodding Cuppa, a tea shop across the street from her cousin, Lilura Kobe’s bookshop, Say the Word. A warlock was murdered in the bookshop in book 2 of the series. Want to know more about these witches and the other supernatural characters in the series?

I’m trying to finish the second book in my witch cozy series. I’m on chapter 36 and the story keeps getting bigger! I‘ve answered most of the questions. who killed the Warlock in the bookstore? I know “who did it,” “why,” and even “how.” I’m just trying to tie up all the loose ends, but more characters are entering the story, bringing in more needed pieces to the puzzle. This writing thing would be easier if the characters would just behave themselves!

Finishing the book (I hope) Beta readers get ready!!
