Today, we're taking a bit of time to blow our own horn.
In anticipation of the 2026 release of Something to Talk About, we're focusing on some of our old faves and want to tell you about them. One is Caper Magic, part of the Hauntings in the Garden anthology by the Wild Rose Press. Today it's featured on Literal Literary and we couldn't be more pleased. You can check it out at:

Excerpt:
Hank let out a
holler just before a huge toothy grin spanned the borders of his gaunt cheeks.
“Top o' the marnin' to ye, Missus!” he cackled to someone exiting the front
door of the stone cottage next door.
Taking the
concrete steps to the sidewalk in two lithe moves, a woman dressed in a slinky
dress the color of ripe tomatoes glanced their way and responded in a distinct
Irish brogue. “And the ass end of the day to ye, Mistur Pierpont.”
Intrigued by
rich tone of her voice, Nick craned his neck and found one of the witches from
yesterday's parade—minus the droopy velvet hat—passing within steps of Hank's
porch. A bulging garment bag hung over one arm; she looked headed in the
direction of the pier at the end of Vincentian Lane. Damned if right then a
wind didn't jump up off the lake and mold the filmy length of scarlet against
each curve of her body. Long black hair—and there seemed to be a good ten
pounds of it—flowed over her shoulders, caressing her body like a lover as she
marched toward Dingle Pier. When his heart bumped into a trip hammer beat, Nick
reminded himself to breathe.
“Ferget yer
broom, Missus?” Hank called out to her retreating back.
“In the repair
shop,” she replied over one shoulder, winging that glorious onyx hair away from
lips painted to match her dress. “Gettin' fitted with a couple of those fancy
turbo boosters, it is.”
Hank chuckled,
then went back to his coffee. “Turbo boosters. That Nunie Doyle sure is a
pistol.”
An invisible
fist reached down to grab Nick's gut in a vise. As recognition flared, long
buried rage took a slow crawling path up his spine.
