Hello kitten!
I love summer! With all the blooming flowers and pretty plants, I'm drying blooms and leaves to decorate my junk journals and add to my tea.
Here's a pic of a few I picked over the weekend. I can't wait to add them to a garden journal.
And…if you're in A Cup of Catnip or Furry Tales, read the next Willowbrook short story, Chaos Kittens: A Paw-some Mystery. It's available now! Every month, I give my patrons a free Willowbrook exclusive they can read over a cup of tea or before bed. These small-town, feel-good snippets will lift your spirits!
Here's a teaser from this month's mystery:
In the heart of Willowbrook, the Enchanted Cat Cafe was bustling with activity as Ember and Oliver, along with their feline friend Clover, teamed up with Mrs. Grayson to organize a fundraising event for the Willowbrook animal rescue.
Mrs. Grayson, the enigmatic owner of the Enchanted Emporium, had generously donated a set of kitten statues to be auctioned off, with all proceeds going to support the rescue’s furry residents.
The anticipation was palpable as the event got underway. Patrons eagerly bid on the adorable statues and other cat—and dog-themed items.
“Going once, going twice…” Brice, the coffee shop owner and auctioneer for the event, knocked a wooden gavel with a dog’s face on the counter. “Sold! The Chaos Kittens go to Mr. and Mrs. Buxley for $100.”
Everyone applauded, but just as the couple accepted the black, white, and gray statues, the kittens came to life...

Read the first three chapters of Tricks and Treats here:
Welcome to Enchanted Haven, where every day feels like a bewitching celebration and a candy-coated mystery is about to unfold…
Tricks and Treats, A Witchy Candy Shop Mystery, Book 1, is up for preorder! I can't wait to share Seraphina's adventures with you in this new witchy candy shop series.
Here's more about the first story, Tricks and Treats, and at the end is a link to read the first three chapters for FREE!
Seraphina, a faerytale princess with a flair for creating delicious treats, once enjoyed a happily-ever-after life in a dreamy kingdom…until the death of her best friend cast a dark shadow over her family, and she was exiled to the land of humans.
She's hardly had time to unpack her bags when she and her estranged godmother are offered the chance to open a candy shop. Seraphina’s royal gown is replaced with an apron and her tiara with a candy-striped headband before she has a chance to revive the run-down place with a dash of magic.
When a local resident is found murdered during a Halloween party, and the evidence points to Seraphina as the killer, she becomes ensnared in a sticky mystery. To clear her name and bring the true culprit to justice, she embarks on a journey filled with candied clues, mystical riddles, and magical mishaps.
Along with her eclectic godmother, gingerbread men spies, and a flaky ghost, Seraphina discovers that the line between reality and faerytales is more sour than she ever imagined. With every spell she casts and every confection she conjures, she inches closer to unveiling the truth behind the murder…and secretly hoping for a chance at her own redemption.
