Description:

When a spectral pup believes in you, how can you doubt yourself?

Janelle Brighton’s psychic talents are more of a nuisance than a gift. After years of running from her abilities and her family’s tangled legacy, she returns to Wyldwood Springs seeking a fresh start. Instead, she finds a body behind her jewelry store and a target on her back.

Mr. Bixby, a resurrected dachshund with a flair for drama, insists Janelle is destined for more than mediocrity. Together, they embark on a quest to find her missing mother, restore a memory-impaired family ghost, and solve a murder that threatens to unravel their fragile peace among newfound friends.

As magical mishaps and spectral surprises pile up, Janelle must confront the truth that denying her powers won’t make them disappear. Embracing them might just save her life… and her town.

In a place where the supernatural is natural, believing in yourself is the real magic.

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.

Two and a half weeks ago magazine crafts editor Anastasia Pollack arrived home to find Ira Pollack, her half-brother-in-law, had blinged out her home with enough Christmas lights to rival Rockefeller Center. Now he’s crammed her small yard with enormous cavorting inflatable characters. She and photojournalist boyfriend (and possible spy) Zack Barnes pack up the unwanted lawn decorations to return to Ira. They arrive to find his yard the scene of an over-the-top Christmas extravaganza. His neighbors are not happy with the animatronics, laser light show, and blaring music creating traffic jams on their normally quiet street. One of them expresses his displeasure with his fists before running off.
In the excitement, the deflated lawn ornaments are never returned to Ira. The next morning Anastasia once again heads to his house before work to drop them off. When she arrives, she discovers Ira’s attacker dead in Santa’s sleigh. Ira becomes the prime suspect in the man’s murder and begs Anastasia to help clear his name. But Anastasia has promised her sons she’ll keep her nose out of police business. What’s a reluctant amateur sleuth to do?
Christmas craft projects included.
