Wicked witches. Murder. Mystery.
The ghosts of past school years are haunting Vega. Literally.

As a teacher at the most prestigious magical boarding school for witches, Ms. Vega Bloodmire is ready to finish up summer school classes and prepare for the start of the new school year. When her dreams are unexpectedly disturbed by a vision of a dead student, she wonders if there is more going on than guilt from her subconscious mind and she might be haunted by a ghost. As if being a ghoul with a craving for corpse flesh isn’t bad enough, Vega fears she might have another unforgivable proclivity that she will have to hide from the world.

When she learns other teachers are being haunted in their sleep as well, she doesn’t know if something has made the school ghosts restless or something else might be amiss. After the first staff member dies, she realizes these ghostly phantoms aren’t what they seem.

As the most brilliant teacher on staff, and the only one with experience uncovering mysterious foes, it’s up to Vega to solve the staff’s spectral problem before students arrive for the start of the school year. Can Vega discover who is behind these hauntings and why—before someone else dies?

This book starts with Vega Bloodmire’s life before working at Womby’s School for Wayward Witches when she was a new and inexperienced teacher at Lady of the Lake School for Girls. Dream Ghoul is the 15th book—a novella/short novel—in the series of mysteries. The book takes place at a magical academy, but these whodunnits are fine to be read in any order.

Clean, cozy, no sex or swearing, PG 13—perfectly fine for teens or grandmas who like mysteries with magic.

A magical boarding school. Budget cuts. Missing teaches. A not-so-cozy mystery.
You think you know the world of magical boarding schools? Not from a teacher's perspective at a school for at risk youth.

This book bundle includes: Tardy Bells and Witches’ Spells, Hex-Ed, Witches Gone Wicked, A Handful of Hexes, Hexes and Exes, and BONUS MATERIAL. Personal Ads for Witches and Thirteen Ways to Tell if You are a Witch are also included in this bundle.

Book 1: Tardy Bells and Witches’ Spells (A prequel before Clarissa teaches at Womby’s School for Wayward Witches.)
Most of us have faced the fact that an owl will never come with our acceptance letter to Hogwarts. Find out what this teen does to take matters into her own hands. Will she become a witch, even if the price is higher than she expects?

Book 2: Hex-Ed
Consider what would happen if a bumbling character like Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum had been told with the quirky voice of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and she was trying to get a job at Hogwarts.

A gang of evil Fae wants to kidnap and enslave Clarissa for accidentally using magic at the wrong place and the wrong time. Clarissa must escape little old ladies in gingerbread cottages, the evil school district psychologist who has always been out to get her, and a hoard of harpies before she can prove to the Witchkin that the bad apple falls farther from the tree that they’d guessed.

If she can do this, then maybe, just maybe her dreams will come true and she’ll land that job teaching the dark arts and crafts.

Book 3: Witches Gone Wicked
As if being the new "arts and crafts" teacher isn't hard enough at a school for juvenile delinquent witches, budget cuts are just as severe in the magic community, administrators are as unrealistic in their expectations of teachers, and the job is a hazard if the students find out you can't actually do magic.

As if this isn't enough pressure, she has to figure out why teachers are mysteriously disappearing. If she doesn't, she might be next.

Book 4: A Handful of Hexes
When Clarissa finds her mother’s diary outlining her experiments with the Fae Fertility Paradox, she is desperate to uncover the mysteries of her mother’s past that will help with her own magic problems of the present. She suspects this book will solve the feud between Fae and Witchkin.

Either that or it will cause an all-out war.

Book 5: Hexes and Exes
The ghosts of boyfriends past are haunting Clarissa Lawrence, the most unmagical teacher at Womby’s School for Wayward Witches.

When Clarissa’s problems aren’t filled with her exes, they are filled with hexes. Everything in her life revolves around letting go of her past so she can accept her future. Clarissa must save Derrick before the Raven Queen gets him for good, even if it means she must join the dark side to do so.

Who knew a talking cat would be the least surprising thing about your midlife crisis?

Jessica Lavender thought her life as a baker was bland, but losing her mother changes everything. Inheriting her childhood home and her mom's quirky little shop, she’s thrust back into the nosy town of Good Fortune—a place far stranger than she remembers.

When her snarky feline familiar announces she’s a witch, Jessica’s world turns upside down. Juggling spell books, supernatural secrets, and her newfound powers is bad enough, but finding a dead body buried in her garden? That’s downright cursed.

Now, Jessica must learn to embrace her inner witch and solve a murder before the killer strikes again—all while fending off meddlesome townsfolk, brewing magical potions, and trying not to set her cat on fire (accidentally, of course).
