Destiny Bay Cozy Mysteries

Hi Everybody!

Just a quick note to let you know that I’m writing a new series–Destiny Bay Cozy Mysteries–under the pen name J.D. Winters. These are short books with a little mystery, a little supernatural, a little romance, and hopefully, a lot of fun. The first one, A Ghost for Christmas, was out in December. #2-Ghost on Duty and #3-A Ghost in Time soon followed. #4-A Ghost of a Chance will be out before the end of May.

I hope you’ll give them a try and enjoy them (and if you do–reviews are needed, good or bad!).

Be careful what you wish for

Mele Keahi wasn’t looking for excitement when she came to Destiny Bay. She’d just lost her man, her job and her self esteem, and she needed comfort. Instead, she found herself involved in a murder, sparring with a suspicious detective and coming face to face with a ghost from her Hawaiian childhood. Not what she’d bargained for–but then–sometimes you just have to deal with what the cat dragged in.

The show must go on!

Just when Mele Keahi thinks her new life in North Destiny Bay is settling down, everything turns against her. First she suspects the detective she’s taken a shine to has a new lady on the line, then she finds another body. The police captain is growing suspicious, her ghost is getting pushy, and she rashly agrees to adopt an uncouth parrot. Meanwhile she’s trying to manage a Christmas Pageant. If it all falls apart, the town will go broke. Then–there goes her salary!

Uh-oh, it’s magic!

Mele Keahi is desperate to clear her aunt’s name, but there’s no denying that Bebe’s car was the one that mowed down Starflower Moon, a rival cut flower grower. All Mele’s newly attempted magic and sleuthing skills may not be enough to save her beloved aunt from jail…or her own life from attack by the real killer.
