New Release: Lost Christmas

December 1, 2022 / / 0 Comments

So, there’s a new story out today, a standalone Christmas Cozy, featuring Ariadne and her familar, Tigger. Some of you might remember them from Wayfair Witches: All Hallowed Out. In this story, they’re travelling to visit friends for the holidays when they get whisked away to a strange new land, and tasked with solving a mystery.

I hope you all enjoy the book.  It was a fun story to write, and the cat gets a few chapters to himself in this one.

The blurb and store links are listed below. It’s on special offer at 99c right now, and is free to read in Kindle Unlimited.

Lost Christmas

Book Cover Lost ChristmasA Magical Christmas Cozy from the world of A.A. Albright. Lost Christmas is a standalone mystery, featuring a shy witch, a chatty cat, and a happy ending.

On their way to visit friends for the holidays, Ariadne and her cat are whisked away to a strange new place: the legendary land of the Lost Enclave.

They’ve been taken against their will, along with two other people: a handsome wizard called Chris, and a chef called Molly.

Ariadne, Chris and Molly are now prisoners of the cruel Queen Clara, a queen who enjoys nothing more than beheading her enemies. And she has brought them here for a reason.

The castle’s cook was murdered with a poisoned mince pie, and the king is missing. Ariadne’s task is to find out who intended to kill the queen. Chris’s task is to unlock the castle’s vault, and obtain the mysterious Star for Queen Clara. And Molly’s job is to replace the dead cook.

When the king, too, is found dead, the mystery deepens. Can Ariadne, Tigger and her new friends discover what truly happened to the king and the cook? They would like to know what the Star is, too, before Chris unlocks the vault – could it give the horrible queen even more power?

In the Lost Enclave, Ariadne, Tigger and their new friends have lost their freedom. They must solve the mystery and escape in time for the holidays, or they might lose Christmas, too.

Out Now: The Infernal Artefacts Book Three

January 28, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Well, I said that the third book of Ned’s trilogy would be coming soon, and I meant it. Dancing with the Dead is available to download now. And as always, it’s free to read via Kindle Unlimited.

Dancing with the Dead

Halloween has arrived, and so has an invitation – Ned’s been invited to the Dance of the Dead.

Ned is certain it’s a trap. She wants to find another way to win this fight. But when people she cares about are kidnapped, it looks like she’ll have to take the bait.

In a mansion filled with ghosts and Servants, Ned must confront the mysteries of her past, and learn who she can trust in her present. The most important thing she’ll learn, though, is who the Spellcaster really is.

When the truth is revealed, will Ned be able to fight the Spellcaster, and escape the Unhallowed Hall alive?

All Hallowed Out – A New Wayfair Witches Release

October 26, 2019 / / 2 Comments

Hi Everyone,

It’s almost Halloween, so I’ve got a seasonal story from Wanda and the gang, called All Hallowed Out.

Halloween is coming to Riddler’s Cove.  And this year, it might just last forever …

Wanda and her coven are looking forward to the holidays.  Unfortunately, a dangerous spell is in the works, and in order to see it through, witches are being put to sleep or being murdered, without a clear connection between them all.

With the help of a hyperactive familiar, Wanda and the gang need to track down the novel which began it all.  But with all the copies quickly disappearing, and the book’s writer in a deep sleep, their task is a difficult one.  And if they can’t stop the spell in time, the world will never be the same again.

Will Berry, now imprisoned in Witchfield, might well be the only one who can help.  But only if they can bring themselves to trust him …

 

As always, this one is free in Kindle Unlimited.  The store links are below.  Happy Halloween everybody.

New Release: The Case of the Haunted House (A Katy Kramer Cozy Mystery)

September 4, 2019 / / 0 Comments

I’m delighted to tell you that Katy is back. This time, around  she’s solving the Case of the Haunted House .  There was an unavoidable delay with this one, so it’s coming to you a few days after I expected. Hopefully it’s worth the wait.

As always, this one is available free to those with Kindle Unlimited subscriptions.  The blurb and the store links are below.

The Case of the Haunted House

Katy Kramer, Paranormal PI?

When Katy’s latest two cases involve haunted houses and badly-behaving mirrors, she’s feeling less like a witch hunter and more like a ghost hunter.  Together with Ned, Hamish and Cleo, she sets to work on solving the mysteries.

But as the bodies rack up, it’s clear that neither of these cases is simple.  The ghost of Jim McGinty insists his death was a murder, so Katy and her friends need to find the killer before they strike again.  It would all be so much easier if Jim would just tell them who killed him, but no one ever said that ghosts were sensible.

In a week filled with stubborn spirits, angry werewolves, unusual musicals and sexy vampires, Katy’s beginning to feel a little overwhelmed.  To top it all off, she must continue to hide the truth about herself.  Because if she tells her new friends she’s a witch hunter, she could lose them forever.

There’s someone who does know the truth, though – the irritating Wayfarer agent, Cullen Keats.  He might be the last person Katy wants as a partner, but this time around, he could be exactly what she needs …

Out Now: Riddler’s Edge Book Seven

May 12, 2019 / / 2 Comments

Hi guys,

It’s first thing in the morning here, and I feel in need of a cup of coffee.  But before I do that, I want to let you know that  Book 7 of the Riddler’s Edge series went live while I was sleeping, and is now available to download.

I need to tell you ahead of time that this one’s going to be a bit of a nail-biter, guys.  Everything with Vlad’s Boys will finally come to a head, and there might be moments where the stress makes you throw your kindles and tablets against the walls.  But hold off doing that, will you?  Firstly, those devices are expensive, and secondly, believe me when I promise you that the nail-biting portion of the book does end on a high note.  You should all (hopefully) be satisfied with the way the story ends.

On a slightly more schmaltzy note,  I’d also like to tell you that I appreciate so much all of the readers who’ve read through the series so far, and signed up for my newsletter or blog to boot.

Wherever you go to keep up to date with my new releases, I’m happy to have you as a reader.

 

Here’s the blurb:

The battle is on …

Aisling and her friends have been trying to find the leader of Vlad’s Boys for a long time. Now, they finally know the truth behind the vampire gang. Unfortunately, they also know that Vlad’s Boys have a new, unknown source of power to rely on, and beating them seems like an impossible task.

But there are other troubling things happening in Riddler’s Edge. Wizards are being murdered in a very unusual way. And Greg – recently turned into a vampire – is enjoying his new life a little bit too much.

They need to find a way to turn their lollipop-loving wizard back into himself again, because without Greg on their side, the fight against Vlad’s Boys might well be lost.

Out Now: Riddler’s Edge Book Six

April 5, 2019 / / 0 Comments

Happy Friday Everyone,

I’ve got a new release from Riddler’s Edge for you guys.  Book Six in the series is now available to download from Amazon.  Hopefully you all enjoy this one. The next release will be in a few weeks’ time, another tale from Riddler’s Edge, titled A Little Bit Vampy.

 Old-School Witch

Is it ever a good idea to dig up the past?

When a member of the Historical Society is murdered, there’s no magical cause to be found.  If anything, it seems like it might be a case of simple revenge.  But when the society goes on to unveil an old, forgotten school in Riddler’s Edge, it seems that there could be far more to the murder than meets the eye.

Riddler’s Edge School for the Gifted was a safe haven for supernatural children.  So why was the school set on fire in the sixties?  And why has it been forgotten until now?

In order to find the real murderer, Ash and the gang must first find the surviving students.  Along the way, they might just dig up some more secrets, too – like who is really behind the group known as Vlad’s Boys?

And until they find the answers, they have a wedding to organise, a wedding that almost everyone believes is doomed …

Out Now: Wayfair Witches Book 10

February 19, 2019 / / 0 Comments

Hi all,

Forget Me Knot, the tenth adventure for Wanda Wayfair and her coven, is now available to download on Amazon.  At the beginning of this one, we find that Wanda is not only a Peacemaker, but is also married to Will Berry.  Read the book, and all will be revealed.

Forget Me Knot

All is well in Riddler’s Cove. There’s no crime, no illness, and Wanda Wayfair is engaged to Will Berry, the greatest Minister for Magical Law that the world has ever known.

Hey, wait a minute … that doesn’t sound quite right, does it? Maybe things aren’t going so well in Riddler’s Cove, after all. And if something strange is afoot, well, Wanda sure can’t be the one to solve it, because she doesn’t have an ounce of magic to her name.

When some healers are murdered, and their familiars ask Wanda for help, she begins to wonder: is she really the unempowered witch she believes herself to be? Or is someone changing the world to suit themselves?

The dead healers aren’t the only ones who need help. Two busloads of weredogs have gone missing, on their way to the holiday of a lifetime.

With her coven by her side, can Wanda regain her power? And when she does, will this strange new world finally begin to make sense?

New Release: Riddler’s Edge Book Five

December 15, 2018 / / 0 Comments

It’s almost Christmas, and the latest release from the Riddler’s Edge series just happens to be a festive tale.  You’d almost think I planned it that way 🙂

So Very Unfae

The holidays are coming.  It’s a time for family, frolics and … mince-pie murders?

All that Aisling wants to focus on this Christmas is how to reunite with her long-lost family, but Riddler’s Edge has other ideas in mind.  When a mince-pie muncher dies at the local holiday market, it seems she might have to put her hopes on hold.

The victim hadn’t just come to Riddler’s Edge to enjoy the festivities.  He had come to see Dylan Quinn, but what they don’t know, is why.

When another man dies – a man who worked for the same, mysterious company as the first victim – it seems clear that there’s a connection.

On the surface of things, these deaths seem like accidents.  Aisling really hopes that they are, because right now, she has other problems – as she works to free her parents, it seems that someone might be trying to scupper her plans.

There’s a lot to overcome if Aisling is ever going to have her perfect Christmas.  But someone as stubborn as her ought to be able to manage it all.  Right?

Out Now: Swotting Up

November 9, 2018 / / 0 Comments

Hurrah, it’s here!  Book Nine of the Wayfair Witches series is available to download from Amazon today.  I hope you all enjoy it 🙂

The Blurb:

College isn’t quite as much fun as Wanda Wayfair had hoped. But when a dead body turns up in the library, it seems like her crime-solving life might be calling her back.

There’s more at risk, though, than finding the killer. Wanda and the gang also need to track down a Bad, Bad Book – quite possibly the worst book of all.

But as more murders take place, it seems like time might be running out. Will they find the book, and the killer, before an ancient evil is unleashed upon the world?

New Release: Riddler’s Edge Book Four

October 5, 2018 / / 0 Comments

Shiver Me Witches (Riddler’s Edge Book Four) is now ready to download on Amazon.  I love Halloween, so I had an especially good time writing this one.  I  hope you all enjoy it 🙂

 

The Blurb:

It’s Halloween in Riddler’s Edge, and everyone is having a wonderful time. So wonderful that they don’t seem to care when two women are murdered on Pirates’ Pier.

There’s a strange new magic affecting everyone. Everyone, that is, except Aisling Smith. But without the help of her friends, will she be able to find the killer in time?

Dealing with murder, magically-altered friends, and a fair few ghosts and pirates is going to make for a busy Halloween. But even if Aisling gets through all of that, there will be one more mystery left to solve. A mystery that means more to her than anything.

Will she finally discover what happened to her parents?

It’s available in all Amazon stores, and is free via Kindle Unlimited.  Here are the store links:
