The Magical Mocha Latte

I thought a free latte would be the highlight of my day. Instead, it changed my life.

What was supposed to be a simple errand for my aunt—a quick delivery to a nearby town—spirals into a whirlwind of magical mishaps, suspicious detours, and way too much fur when I accidentally adopt a dog… much to my cat’s dismay.

Now I’m dealing with enchanted caffeine, a missing family member, and two talkative pets with a lot of opinions. The only person who might be able to help? My ex-high-school sweetheart, Jones—the last person I want back in my life.

But with danger brewing and long-buried secrets bubbling to the surface, Jones may be my only option. Mockingbird Springs may be a small Southern town, but something big is stirring—and if I don’t figure it out fast, this latte might just be my last.

The Cursed Coffee Beans

Murder, magic, and muffins—bless your heart if you think this week’s gonna be normal.

Small towns have secrets. Mine brews them fresh daily. Welcome to Mockingbird Springs, home of my quirky little coffee shop, Magickal Beans. Running a small business was supposed to be a peaceful gig—serve lattes, sell baked goods, and avoid accidentally poisoning anyone. Simple enough.

Then a local land developer drops dead, and since he had his eye on my property, the blame lands squarely on me. Now I’ve drawn the attention of a detective who’s all side-eye and sharp cheekbones.

Oh, and let’s not forget my two chatty pets who think they’re helping solve a murder and my ex, who’s suddenly keen on rebuilding our friendship in hopes of a do-over. Because of course he is.

If I don’t clear my name, I could lose everything—my café, my reputation, and what’s left of my social life. Good thing I’ve got strong coffee, a stronger support system, and just enough weirdness to survive the most chaotic week of my life.

The Cursed Coffee Beans is a laugh-out-loud cozy mystery filled with magical mishaps, adorable animals, and enough caffeine to keep a small Southern town buzzed for days.

The Tainted Tea Leaves

Murder, magic, and misfits—secrets are steeping in Mockingbird Springs.

I thought life at Magickal Beans was finally settling down. Then my cousin Ross arrived from the U.K. with a posh accent, a mysterious past, and a flair for reading tea leaves. Letting him hang his shingle in a quiet corner of the coffee shop was supposed to be a quirky attraction.

But then one of my customers dies, and townspeople are giving Ross’s tea corner a wide berth. It’s up to me to prove my cosmopolitan cousin is as harmless as his fish and chips addiction. When the tea leaves get murkier, the rest of our family bands together to help.

Tension in town is heating up faster than a whistling kettle, and secrets are bubbling to the surface. As the threats escalate and the killer closes in, I’ll need more than caffeine and determination to solve this mystery.

The Tainted Tea Leaves is a laugh-out-loud cozy mystery filled with mystical mischief, cheeky charm, and enough enchanted tea to keep a small town buzzing with gossip.

The Hexed Hot Cocoa

Arriving November 20, 2025

Murder, magic, and marshmallows—winter’s brewing up trouble in Mockingbird Springs.

Jones and I are barely back from our honeymoon when the Hot Cocoa Festival threatens to turn my newlywed bliss into caffeinated chaos. I’d planned to showcase Magickal Beans with a signature hot chocolate blend from Aunt Corliss’s family recipe collection—a little magical warmth to chase away the winter chill and boost sales during the slow season.

But when a visiting chocolatier drops dead after sampling my cocoa creation, the festival turns from sweet celebration to bitter investigation. Someone’s been tampering with my recipes, and now I’m second-guessing everyone who’s stepped foot in my kitchen, including a newly hired barista. The food safety inspectors are circling like vultures, and my reputation is melting faster than whipped cream on a mocha latte.

Between fielding accusations, adjusting to married life, and keeping Basil and Loki from bickering about who’s higher on Santa Paws’ nice list, I’ve got more on my plate than a holiday sampler platter. The killer’s still out there, and if I don’t solve this mystery soon, my coffee shop dreams might go up in cocoa powder.

The Hexed Hot Cocoa is a deliciously twisted cozy mystery packed with small-town charm, magical mishaps, and enough suspects to fill a chocolate sampler box.
