    A mysterious murder that threatens to expose their way of life to the world. Flower farmer and average witch Gemma Iren has a big problem: a dead body. At first she thought it was a ghost, of course. Those are commonplace in Dewdrop, her magical hometown. Good luck explaining that to the police when they ask her why she didn’t call to report the suspicious death. The witches of Madison County don’t bat an eye when a dead boy turns up near the town square. Why would they? Not a single male family member has made it out of his twenties in countless generations. Her cousins briefly speculate about evil fairies and werewolves that may have killed him before their attention moves on to an upcoming annual celebration. Gemma doesn’t have that luxury. She’s a murder suspect now, with a mandate from beyond the grave to solve the crime. To make things worse, Dewdrop is overrun by tourists eager to rediscover their magical roots. Gemma already has enough cousins as it is! She’s related to everyone in town. And these witches are in hysterics about the clueless strangers who found their names on some annoying genealogy website listing the descendants of the family matriarch. Her ghost is scheduled to visit and bless the town, but this year Grandma is not very happy. Now it’s up to Gemma to solve a murder, appease an angry spirit, and convince these crazy witches to keep quiet about magic as two hunky police officers investigate their community. All this on top of her hexed, apathetic brother moving back home, a close cousin with a potion addiction and an anxiety disorder, and two bickering great aunts. Oh, and a magical flower business to run. Gemma is usually an optimistic girl, but it’s no wonder she’s got a bad case of Resting Witch Face. A full length paranormal cozy mystery novel, approximately 68,000 words.

The Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and the Governor of the Bank of England had learnt through a variety of sources – a private bank in Vienna, an Anglophile moneylender in Munich, a reliable tip off from the Casino in Monte Carlo – that Britain’s enemies were trying to debase the currency. Sherlock Holmes has retired to keep his bees in Sussex, Dr Watson is curing the sick. So Lestrade turns to Holmes’s elder brother Mycroft, still keeping to his unchanging routine between his rooms in Pall Mall, the Government Offices where he audits all Government Departments, and the silent quarters of the Diogenes Club. Mycroft tracks the gang through the banks and Treasuries of Europe, his brain travelling faster than the swiftest express train. Will Mycroft and Lestrade solve the mystery?
