Maeve Hawthorn writes about witches for a living.
They want her to stop.When a book signing ends in her abduction, Maeve’s only priority is escaping with her corgi, Mischief, alive. That urgency deepens when she learns her captors are real witches, furious that Maeve has been exposing their secrets to the world.
Before Maeve can make sense of how her fiction has become reality, she’s caught in the middle of a murder that leaves her marked by magic she doesn’t understand. When a dying witch’s power floods into her, Maeve becomes the prime suspect in a crime she didn’t commit—and a target for every supernatural being certain she knows too much.
Turns out, magic isn’t a gift. It’s a liability.
And clearing her name may cost Maeve far more than her safety.With danger closing in and no clear allies other than Mischief, Maeve must navigate a hidden supernatural world that wants her silenced… or dead.
For readers who enjoy witchy mysteries with a little more at stake than a traditional cozy, Gossiping About Grimoires will appeal to fans of Danielle Garrett, Erin Johnson, and Juliet Blackwell.
(Includes the Shroom Boom recipe from Ayu Bakehouse, a beloved New Orleans bakery.)

Maeve Hawthorn didn’t mean to get involved with vampires.
They insisted.When a prominent member of New Orleans’ vampire community is accused of murder, Maeve is pulled into an investigation that could unravel the fragile balance between magical factions. Clearing their name isn’t just about justice — it may be the only way to prevent something far more dangerous.
As Maeve follows a trail of secrets through candlelit courtyards and hidden supernatural circles, she discovers that truth in this world is layered, political, and rarely convenient. Meanwhile, living with her roommates and their familiars begins to feel like home. The witches who were once strangers are becoming allies. Maybe even family.
But solving one mystery has a way of exposing others.
And in a city built on power and old allegiances, someone is always watching.
For readers who enjoy witchy mysteries with a little more at stake than a traditional cozy, Verifying About Vampires will appeal to fans of Danielle Garrett, Erin Johnson, and Juliet Blackwell.
Continue the Whispering Witch series — a paranormal mystery where magic has consequences, loyalty is complicated, and even a corgi doesn’t know all the answers.

Maeve Hawthorn started chatting with ghosts.

Sarandipity Interview, Whispering Witch
Intro:
Some interviews are easy. This is not one of them.
Today, we speak with Alastair Porchet—an ally of Maeve’s, though “ally” may be the simplest word for something far more complicated.
Interviewer: Thank you for agreeing to speak with us.
Alastair: I didn’t. Maeve asked. That tends to… complicate my decisions.
Interviewer: You’ve chosen to help her. Why?
Alastair: Maeve is already involved. Ignoring her would be unwise.
Interviewer: You operate in a dangerous world. Do you consider yourself one of the good guys?
Alastair: No.
Interviewer: And yet you’re helping someone who clearly believes in right and wrong.
Alastair: Yes. She still believes there’s a correct answer.
That makes her… unusual.
Interviewer: Impressive?
Alastair: Not the word I’d use. But I am paying attention.
Interviewer: Let’s talk about power. Where do you stand in all of this?
Alastair: Close enough to understand the rules. Far enough to ignore them.
Interviewer: And the Matriarch?
Alastair: (slight pause) She believes she is the rules.
Interviewer: Would you call her an enemy?
Alastair: In every way.
Interviewer: Maeve has been invited into that world—into the Matriarch’s circle. What does that mean for her?
Alastair: It means she’s being watched. Measured. Tested.
Witches like the Matriarch don’t extend invitations without purpose.
Interviewer: Why not stop her?
Alastair: Because she wouldn’t listen. Not yet.
Interviewer: Should she trust you?
Alastair: No. But she may find that I’m still useful.
Interviewer: What do you want from her?
Alastair: That depends on what she becomes.
Interviewer: Maeve believes you’re a witch. Is that accurate?
Alastair: (smiles slightly) Maeve believes many things. I see no reason to correct her.
Interviewer: Last question—should readers trust you?
Alastair: No.
Interviewer: Then what do you offer?
Alastair: Results.
Interviewer: Even if the cost is high?
Alastair: Especially then.
Interviewer: And Maeve?
Alastair: (quietly) She may be the only one who still believes the cost matters.
