Piper Addison has three problems: a broken espresso machine, malfunctioning magic, and a dead body. Guess which one she doesn’t see coming?

One month from forty, Piper Addison thinks she finally has life figured out. Sure, her bank account could be fuller and the cafe she opened with the last of her savings could use some help, but what’s a few kinks for an Orchard Hollow witch?

Too bad Piper can’t witch to save her life, which is exactly what she might need to do when a dead body is discovered in the alley behind her cafe. To make matters worse, all the evidence points to Piper and the local sheriff is not too keen on the town’s paranormal inhabitants.

When a mysterious envelope lands on Piper’s doorstep, she has a decision to make: go behind the sheriff’s back and try to clear her name, or spend her fortieth birthday in a prison cell.

A Grave Roast is a paranormal cozy mystery complete with an unlucky witch, a ghost familiar, and a feisty raccoon with a talent for getting into sticky situations.

Q&A With the Author

What did you enjoy most about writing this book?

am by nature a very plot-heavy writer, but plotting a mystery took a new sense of the process. I had murder boards, timelines, and relationship charts all over my office. It was truly an inspirational way to figure out the book. Although, I have to admit, Harry Houdini’s point of view was a close runner up in terms of favorites. That raccoon was a blast to write!

Do you have any other books you are working on that you can tell us about?

I am currently in the middle of finalizing the second book in the Orchard Hollow series. Piper is back in the middle of a mystery and this time, she has a few more things to figure out. I can’t give away too much, but let’s just say that some of the questions readers have about Stella and Joe will come into play.

Can you tell us about what you have planned for the future?

This year is a busy one! I am planning to release five books in the Orchard Hollow series as well as the final book in my Shadowhurst series. Shadowhurst is a witchy mystery with a young adult protagonist and has been an amazing adventure. I’m thrilled to be able to bring the series to an end and am planning quite a few twists for the final book!

How long have you been writing?

I’ve been writing in some capacity since I was a kid. I wrote my first book when I was twelve if you can believe it! It was a ghost story and quite terrible. But that was when my love for all things paranormal began and I’ll forever remember that story as the steppingstone to my career today. Sixteen published books later and I am still that same girl chasing ghosts and witches.

Anything more you would like to say to your readers and fans?

I always love hearing from readers so if anyone wants to reach out and chat about the book, feel free to find me on social media or email me directly.
