The Destiny Bay Cozy Mysteries Series…

A Ghost for Christmas

Be careful what you wish for

Mele Keahi wasn't looking for excitement when she came to Destiny Bay. She'd just lost her man, her job and her self esteem, and she needed comfort. Instead, she found herself involved in a murder, sparring with a suspicious detective and coming face to face with a ghost from her Hawaiian childhood. Not what she'd bargained for--but then--sometimes you just have to deal with what the cat dragged in.

Ghost On Duty

The show must go on!

Just when Mele Keahi thinks her new life in North Destiny Bay is settling down, everything turns against her. First she suspects the detective she’s taken a shine to has a new lady on the line, then she finds another body. The police captain is growing suspicious, her ghost is getting pushy, and she rashly agrees to adopt an uncouth parrot. Meanwhile she’s trying to manage a Christmas Pageant. If it all falls apart, the town will go broke. Then--there goes her salary!

A Ghost In Time

Uh-oh, it's magic!

Mele Keahi is desperate to clear her aunt's name, but there's no denying that Bebe's car was the one that mowed down Starflower Moon, a rival cut flower grower. All Mele's newly attempted magic and sleuthing skills may not be enough to save her beloved aunt from jail…or her own life from attack by the real killer.

Recipe for a yummy Ahi Poke included!

Cloudy with a Chance of Ghosts

Straight From the Heart

Mele Keahi yearns to find out more about her mother, missing since she was a baby in Hawaii. Will finding her fill this hole in her heart? Maybe. Aunty Jane wants to help, and so does Dante. But all efforts are put on hold while Mele deals with another murder. This time Jill is involved--and the man she's just fallen in love with is the main suspect!

The ladies dig into their detective work with gusto, searching hotel rooms, falling into trap pits and coming face to face with a murderer in the dark. Luckily, Mele is beginning to learn how to use the magic Aunty Jane is teaching her, and it saves her neck a few times along the way. But will it bring her the peace of mind she needs so badly? Detective Roy McKnight is hoping to help her with that nagging problem.

A yummy recipe for Hawaiian Chicken Salad included!
