Fast.The trouble was, not only was I the youngest witch in the Ravenswind family, I was also the one with the least power. Actually, to say I had any power at all would be an overstatement. Magic seemed to have passed me by at birth. There was a way, however, to possibly change that. Aunt Opal had been trying to get me to claim a familiar for years now. Familiars were known to help enhance a witch's magic. So why was I dragging my feet on getting one? Well, mostly because cats make me sneeze like crazy. But hey, what's a little sneezing in the midst of a family crisis? One makes sacrifices for family, right?So I found a little black kitty at an animal shelter. And wonder of wonders, he didn't make me sneeze. That was the good news.The bad news? He wasn't exactly what he seemed to be.The Accidental Familiar Complete Box Set includes Books One through Five as well as the series prequel. Grab a chair, a tall glass of soda, and the cat. It's time for a Paranormal Cozy Mystery binge read. less

Wouldn't you know it would happen right when everyone else in the family but me was out of town... moreA familiar is a life-long companion.

Wouldn't you know it would happen right when everyone else in the family but me was out of town.Now it's up to me to prove her innocence, and a little magic could go a long way in helping me do that. My aunt's been after me to get a familiar for quite a while now. They are known for helping a witch channel her power and even strengthen it.So, want to or not, allergies or not, I did it. I went to an animal shelter and found my familiar. A cute little black kitty. The allergy medicine companies were going to love me.But for some reason, this little guy didn't make me sneeze. Kind of weird, actually. Not that I was complaining.I just really wish I'd known more about him before I did the binding spell… less

A man is innocent until proven guilty. Why isn't that true for witches and their familiars too? Arc kept his end of our bargain and helped me with my family's problem. Now it was time to return the favor.He's been on the run ever since waking up next to his dead on again/off again girlfriend. He swears he didn't kill her. I believe him.He also says she wasn't in his bed when he went to sleep. That's a harder pill to swallow. Arc is a very powerful witch in his own right... moreA man is innocent until proven guilty.

I believe him.He also says she wasn't in his bed when he went to sleep. That's a harder pill to swallow. Arc is a very powerful witch in his own right. And from what I've seen, when he sets a ward, it sticks.So how did the killer not only get through his wards, but plant poor Sonya's body right next to him without him knowing it?If that's the way it really went down, then some top-level witches must be involved. Possibly even council witches. The very thought scares the crap out of me. Council witches are scary. I should know. My aunt Opal is one of themAnd, yes, she scares me too. On pretty much a daily basis.Unfortunately, that isn't where the bad news ended. Arc and I had another shock in store for us when we reached out to his family for help.This one would change our lives forever. Relatively Familiar is Book Two in the Accidental Familiar Series. It is highly recommended to read this series in order as there are major spoilers in the later books. This is a full-length, Paranormal Cozy Mystery featuring the Gemstone Coven witches... and their familiars. less

I spent my whole life thinking that magic had passed me by. Boy, was I wrong. Becoming an uber-powerful witch overnight isn't nearly as much fun as it sounds. Controlling unfamiliar magic is hard. Really, really hard.Adding to the level of difficulty is the fact that dead bodies keep showing up. Okay, so there's only been two so far, but in a small town like Wind's Crossing, that's a lot. Our town doesn't have all that many living people either... moreI spent my whole life thinking that magic had passed me by. Boy, was I wrong.

Our town doesn't have all that many living people either.At least this time it isn't my family the police have in their crosshairs. Unfortunately, that isn't the good news you'd think it was.This time the prime suspects were my good friends Mabel Morgan and Tommy Hill.And no way was I letting them take the fall.
