Three full-length novels in one special Westwick Witches Cozy Paranormal Mystery box set!
1. Witch You Well
Be careful what you wish for…
Dead billionaires are not good for business! That’s what Aunt Pearl complains to Cen when the dead body is found in the cozy family inn at Westwick Corners.
Still, it’s not Cen’s problem. She lives an ordinary life away from her witch-ful family for a reason. She got her ordinary fiancé and her ordinary job as a journalist using no magic whatsoever, and no inconvenient local murder is going to change her comfortable existence.
Even if the entire town is now accusing Aunt Pearl of murdering her guest. Even if her fiancé is acting weird and talking about seeing ghosts. Even if the town’s sexy new sheriff, Tyler Gates, treats her like the most hexing of all the witches…
If you love funny cozy mysteries infused with a dose of humor and the supernatural, you’ll love this paranormal witch cozy! Witch You Well appeals to readers of the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. Sign up for Colleen’s new release notifications at http://www.colleencross.com
“…A bewitching, supernatural treat. If you love witch cozy mysteries you’ll love Cendrine West and her wacky witch family!”
2. Rags to Witches
Win, lose, or draw…
Cendrine West can’t catch a break. She’s close to landing a new job, and things are getting cozy with sexy sheriff Tyler Gates. All that changes when she is kidnapped by renegade witch Aunt Pearl, who is hell bent on avenging a friend’s untimely death. Its Las Vegas or bust…for all the wrong reasons.
Rocco Racatelli is a hunky Vegas kingpin—and the next mob target. Lady Luck has dealt him a losing hand and he wants revenge. When Aunt Pearl is a little too eager to help, project Vegas Vendetta quickly escalates into an all-out mob turf war. As the witches are thrust into Sin City’s seamy underworld, bodies pile up and secrets are exposed.
It’s not just the Las Vegas heat that’s scorching…Rocco is intent on winning Cen’s heart. But she only wants the man she left behind in Westwick Corners. All she has to do is solve a murder, out-magic her ornery aunt, and take down the Las Vegas mafia. What could possibly go wrong?
When organized crime meets unorganized magic, anything can happen! As the body count climbs, it’s clear that Cen needs more than a miracle in the desert to set things right.
3. Witch and Famous
Lights, camera, assassin…
A Hollywood movie shoot comes to town and journalist Cendrine West is eager for a scoop. Her witchy family also wants in on the action, but shenanigans with the stars soon turn to Tinseltown tragedy.
Bodies are piling up faster than a coven’s worth of curses, and everything points back to Cen’s star-struck family. They will stop at nothing in their quest for supernatural stardom, even if that means meddling in a murder investigation.
The witches have created one spell of a mess and given the killer a chance to get away with murder. Cen resorts to her own blend of supernatural justice to keep her family in check, but can she unmask the killer before he strikes again?
Welcome to the wild, wild Wests!
Fans of Janet Evanovich and paranormal mystery, cozy mystery, and wickedly funny witches will love the Westwick Witches!

More about the wacky Westwick Witches:
Westwick Corners isn’t your typical small town. Or even a normal ghost town. It’s where people go not to be found, and witches go to work their magic without attracting too much attention. The combination makes from some interesting and humorous mysteries, and the witches are always at the center of the action!
Ruby’s cooking, Cendrine’s amateur sleuth and investigator activities, and Aunt Pearl’s magic school are always looking for that one secret ingredient that will propel the witches to fame and fortune and put the small town of Westwick Corners back on the map again. The witches are forever cooking up new business opportunities like The Westwick Corners Inn, The Witching Post Bar and Grill, and of course, Pearl’s Charm School, where witches go to unravel riddles, spin magic spells, and create their own witch mysteries. Too bad they are forever getting distracted because there are always strange things happening in Westwick Corners, from petty crime to murder.
The West family has always been in Westwick Corners and always will be. They descend from a long line of witches who have inhabited Westwick Corners from the beginning.
Witches who unlock mysteries, solve crime, and help those in need. They are collectively a kind of a witch of all trades, because pitching in–or is it witching in?– is what you do in a small town. Everyone helps out. Even Grandma Vi the ghost investigates and sleuths. But when everyone pulls together, it’s not always in the same direction! If you like a good puzzle, a good laugh, and a good witch mystery series, you’ll love these cozy mystery books! Available as ebook cozy mystery books, cozy mystery paperbacks, and cozy mystery audiobooks too!
I am writing the next book in this series of paranormal cozy mysteries, a cozy paranormal that takes place on Christmas Eve. As long as people like these humorous cozy mysteries I will keep on writing them. Thanks for reading!

Psychologische thriller - Engel des doods
Engel des doods - thrillerSoms kun je het verleden beter laten rusten...
Tijdens een boottochtje naar een afgelegen eiland aan boord van een luxueus jacht heeft fraudeonderzoeker Katerina Carter al snel het gevoel dat de charmante, praatjesmakende eigenaar van de boot een duister geheim verbergt. Die manier die hij aanprijst om snel geld te verdienen – zij kan toch niet de enige zijn die doorheeft dat het zaakje stinkt?
Eenmaal op het eiland onderzoeken Kat en haar vrienden de geruchten die de ronde doen over een sinistere sekte, de Aquarian Foundation, en gaan ze op zoek naar verborgen schatten. De sekte heeft mensen geld afgetroggeld en het begint erop te lijken dat dezelfde geschiedenis zich weer herhaalt. Tenminste, als Kat aan de anderen kan bewijzen dat sommige dingen te mooi klinken om waar te zijn...
Als niemand haar waarschuwingen serieus neemt, gaat ze op pad om een vreselijke waarheid te onthullen die de mensen waarvan ze het meest houdt in doodsgevaar kan brengen. Nu is het een race tegen de klok: Kat moet de moordenaar ontmaskeren voor hij opnieuw kan toeslaan.

The Westwick Witches Cozy Mysteries are now available in Italian!
Serie: I gialli delle streghe di Westwick
FATE ATTENZIONE A QUELLO CHE DESIDERATE...
Un giallo paranormale delle streghe di Westwick
"...Una chicca soprannaturale che vi stregherà. Se vi piacciono i misteri e le magie adorerete Cendrine West e la sua stravagante famiglia di streghe!"
Cendrine West ha un segreto: non vuole essere una strega. D’altra parte come strega non è molto brava e sua zia Pearl non fa che ricordarglielo. Ma Cendrine non può sfuggire alla sua natura, soprattutto non nella piccola Westwick Corners, dove la famiglia di streghe West crea problemi da generazioni.
I problemi sorgono quando viene scoperto un cadavere poco prima del matrimonio di Cendrine. Le sue indagini portano alla luce una connessione soprannaturale e un segreto sul suo fidanzato che avrebbe preferito non scoprire. Cendrine è costretta a mettere alla prova la sua capacità come strega. Sarà in grado di salvare la sua famiglia e la città?
Gli indizi sulla scena del crimine indicano l’irascibile zia Pearl, che si è votata a impedire a ogni costo il turismo, così importante per la piccola Westwick Corners. Pearl è anche determinata a mandare via Tyler Gates, il nuovo affascinante sceriffo, come ha fatto con i suoi predecessori. E se questo non bastasse, ci si mette anche il fantasma di nonna Vi, che vuole partecipare all’azione. Cendrine fa di tutto per scagionare la zia, anche se questo non andrà necessariamente a suo vantaggio.
Volano scintille tra Cendrine e Tyler, mentre si accumulano le prove contro zia Pearl. Cendrine riuscirà a spingere le indagini, e il suo cuore, nella giusta direzione?
Se vi piacciono i gialli con un pizzico di humor e di soprannaturale, quest’avventura paranormale fa per voi!!
Il colpo delle Streghe: Un giallo delle streghe di Westwick
Serie: I gialli delle streghe di Westwick
Vinci, perdi o pareggia…
Un giallo paranormale delle streghe di Westwick
Cendrine West non ha un momento di tregua. Sta per avere un nuovo lavoro e le cose con il bello sceriffo Tyler Gates si mettono per il meglio. Ma tutto cambia all’improvviso quando viene rapita da zia Pearl, strega ribelle votata anima e corpo a vendicare la morte premature di un’amica. È Las Vegas o la fine… per tutti i motivi sbagliati.
Rocco Racatelli è un fusto e una figura chiave di Vegas— e anche il prossimo bersaglio della mafia. La signora Buonasorte gli ha fatto tirare una mano perdente e lui vuole vendicarsi. Zia Pearl è anche troppo ansiosa di aiutare e il progetto Vegas Vendetta rapidamente si gonfia trasformandosi in una caotica guerra per il territorio tra mafiosi. Intanto che le streghe vengono scaraventate nel mondo perduto della Città del Peccato, i corpi si ammucchiano e i segreti vengono alla luce.
Non è solo il calore di Las Vegas che brucia… Rocco fa di tutto per conquistare il cuore di Cen. Ma lei desidera solo l’uomo che ha lasciato a Westwick Corners. Tutto quello che deve fare è risolvere il mistero di un omicidio, superare le magia della bizzosa zia e sconfiggere la mafia di Las Vegas. Cosa potrebbe andare male?
Quando il crimine organizzato incontra la magia disorganizzata, tutto può succedere! Mentre aumentano i cadaveri, è evidente che a Cen serve più di un miracolo per sistemare le cose.
"...Un affascinante chicca soprannaturale. Se vi piacciono i misteri familiari, adorerete Cendrine West e la sua stravagante famiglia di streghe!"
Se vi piacciono i gialli familiari intrisi di una buona dose di umorismo e soprannaturale, impazzirete per questa storia!
