Mrs. Morris and the Wolfman
Can't believe that book #7 will be out 8/22/23!
I'm very excited about the buzz from Kirkus on Mrs. Morris and the Wolfman.
"A tasty tale for those who like their mysteries with a dash of paranormal fantasy."

You haven't heard about the latest Charlene, Jack, and Sam are up to? No worries--here's the scoop:
Charlene Morris is taking a night away from her Salem, Massachusetts, B&B—and its resident ghost—to enjoy a spooky double-bill, until murder upstages the evening . . .
Saturday night at the movies has some added flair now that Darren and Elise Shultz are reopening one of Salem’s classic theaters. Charlene is delighted to help the couple with their venture, and Darren has lined up a cult classic double-header featuring Lon Chaney in The Wolfman. But things get hairier than expected when Elise starts to choke on her popcorn mid-movie—and once the lights go up,
she’s dead . . .
When tests reveal Elise's popcorn was poisoned, Detective Sam Holden eyes her husband as the guilty party. Charlene doesn’t believe Darren would hurt his wife—even if his company’s specialty seasoned salts were sprinkled on the fatal snack. But who else had a motive to do something so unsavory? With a little help from Jack, the handsome ghost who haunts her B&B, Charlene delves into the ill-fated couple’s past. And the more she learns, the more Charlene wonders if this time, she’s bitten off more than she can chew . . .

I find that I've been reading a lot more due to the hot weather...what about you? How are you beating the heat?

Hey, all--
I thought I'd share this from my newsletter. If you're interested in signing up, head over to my website. I'll send you a free short story and you can find out the latest scoop such as book signings, and book releases.
https://www.tracihall.com/
I was in Lake Chelan the weekend after Memorial Day where I did a little research for my new series, Cider Falls Orchard Mysteries. This is the apple capital in Washington—we went to a cider press and made our own cider. The people were so friendly and it doesn't get any fresher. APPLE PIES AND POISONED LIES will be out in September of 2026.
I’m excited because this is my first hardcover for Kensington.
I was in Georgia for a cozy con in April and had the joy of meeting a fellow Scottie lover and reader, Kathleen Dannecker Nixon—thank you for braving the torrential rain! I’m a reader as well as an author, and I was next to Molly McRae, the author of the Haunted Shell Shop mysteries—I highly recommend the series.
What are you reading these days? Send me an email and I’ll send you some stickers of my latest book covers that I think turned out cute.
I hope you’re caught up on the Salem series, as book 10 comes out in August—MRS. MORRIS AND THE DAY OF THE DEAD will be the final in the series. You might need a tissue. I sure did.
Book 3 in the Irish Castle mysteries comes out in August as well. DEATH AT AN IRISH VILLAGE, as Ellie Brannigan.
To celebrate, I will be signing at the Barnes and Noble in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday August 30th, at 2:00, and I’ll bring sugar skull cookies. I will be in NOLA for Bouchercon September 4-8, and there might be another cozy con at the end of September, in Pittsburgh.
I would love to talk books :)
Happy reading,
Traci

Mrs. Morris and the Day of the Dead, Death at an Irish Castle
It is my book birthday, and I've had twins--the fraternal kind that are completely different.
Mrs. Morris and the Day of the Dead is about Charlene Morris, and her ghostly roomie Jack, who is also her best friend, and Detective Sam, who has been in love with Charlene for some time. His patience is rewarded in the finale--there are lots of twists and turns as they help a guest discover whether or not her missing sister is actually deceased. November 1st, the Day of the Dead, is when the veil is thinnest. Charlene (and Jack) agree to help through paranormal channels, while Sam, who is shocked that Charlene truly believes in ghosts, and Avery does too, promises to find the truth in the real world. I had a blast writing this story, and did a lot of research on Santa Muerte and ofrenda altars. I believe there is something more. Do you?
In Death at an Irish Village, Rayne and Ciara are halfway through the 12 month deadline set in Nevin McGrath's will to save the village, or lose it all. They have learned to work together but the villagers are not on the same page. When one is found murdered in the cemetery, things go sideways for the cousins, who refuse to give up. When I was researching for this story, I was fascinated by the fact that the Irish Crown Jewels were stolen a hundred years ago and never found...well, I came up with a fictional solution to the crime that I hope you find entertaining.
Blarney, Rayne's first ever pup, is a doll and has some psychic powers. Amos, our hunky grounds manager, has his eye on Rayne to make her forget about her rotten ex.
Have you ever had to deal with a bad breakup?
I'd love it if you gave these books a shot--the Salem series is written as Traci Wilton, and the Irish Castle Mystery series as Ellie Brannigan.
