The Ghosts of Wonky Inn: Wonky Inn Book 2 Page 15
My eyes widened. Grandmama! I reached across the table and plucked the newspaper out of his grasp. Flipping to the front I realised it was a copy of The Celestine Times. Gwyn had placed her advert for a chef with them. It made perfect sense, but did she really have to leave her copy lying around?
I scanned the rest of the article.
“Oh no,” I said and hurriedly stuffed the newspaper under the table.
“Is there something you’re not telling me,” George asked, and although I affected a look of total innocence, much to his amusement, I’m fairly sure he wasn’t taken in.
He cocked an eyebrow at me and waited. This detective was a patient man.
“Ah. Okay,” I replied. “This could take some explaining.”

Fancy a Wonky Inn story with added bite? The series continues in:
Wonky Inn Book 3 – Weird Wedding at Wonky Inn
Whittlecombe.
A charming and peaceful village in the south west of England. All thatched cottages and winding country lanes, triangle sandwiches and cream teas.
Picture postcard perfection in fact.
But people are dropping like flies.
Wonkiest witch, Alfhild Daemonne, is just about to host the vampire wedding of the century at Whittle Inn.
Coincidence?
Are Alf’s fangtastic guests to blame? Or could bitter arch rivals ‘The Mori’ be making a move on Alf and her wonky inn once more?
Read the latest of Alf’s adventures, Weird Wedding at Wonky Inn, right here!
Fearful Fortunes and Terrible Tarot: Wonky Inn Book 4
There’s a psychic fayre heading to Whittlecombe.
Alf, the witch, didn’t see it coming … perhaps she should have done.
Whittle Inn is up and running and gaining in popularity. Proud owner Alfhild Daemonne can afford to relax, can’t she?
Apparently not.
When her neighbouring inn decides to host the south west region’s largest ever Psychic and Holistic Convention, you’d think that would allow Alf the opportunity to make lots of new friends. Think of it! Dozens and dozens of fortune tellers, mediums, diviners, psychics, rune-tellers, witch doctors, and even a voodoo priestess from New Orleans – all gathered together in one big field.
Not so.
Alf is banned from attending the Fayre and looks set to miss out - until Wizard Shadowmender sends her on an undercover operation that is.
In the meantime, someone is sending Alf death threats and many of her friends in the village of Whittlecombe are subject to fearful fortune tellings and terrible tarot readings at the Fayre.
It appears that dark forces are gathering in Whittlecombe.
Will Alf make it to her 31st birthday?
And just who is it that wishes her harm?

The Witch Who Killed Christmas
It’s an ill wind that blows no good...
An unexpected snowmageddon threatens to derail Christmas at Alfhild Daemonne’s inn.
She’s hosting her first festive celebration, so she’s understandably disappointed when guests begin cancelling bookings, thanks to the abnormal wintery conditions in the south west of England.
When Alf receives information that there may be an ulterior reason for the weather anomaly, she journeys deep into the forest in search of a witch with an attitude problem.
Can Alf save Christmas at Wonky Inn? Or will one mean old witch kill Christmas for everyone?
The Witch Who Killed Christmas can be read as a standalone or as part of the Wonky Inn series.
The story begins…
The Wonkiest Witch: Wonky Inn Book 1
Alfhild Daemonne has inherited an inn. and a dead body.
Estranged from her witch mother, and having committed to little in her thirty years, Alf surprises herself when she decides to start a new life.
She heads deep into the English countryside intent on making a success of the once popular inn. However, discovering the murder throws her a curve ball. Especially when she suspects dark magick.
Additionally, a less than warm welcome from several locals, persuades her that a variety of folk – of both the mortal and magickal persuasions – have it in for her.
The dilapidated inn presents a huge challenge for Alf. Uncertain who to trust, she considers calling time on the venture.
Should she pack her bags and head back to London? Don’t be daft.
Alf’s magickal powers may be as wonky as the inn, but she’s dead set on finding the murderer.
Once a witch always a witch, and this one is fighting back. A clean and cozy witch mystery.
Take the opportunity to immerse yourself in this fantastic new witch mystery series, from the author of the award-winning novel, Crone.

The Municipality of Lost Souls by Jeannie Wycherley
Described as a cross between Daphne Du Maurier’s Jamaica Inn, and TV’s The Walking Dead, but with ghosts instead of zombies, The Municipality of Lost Souls tells the story of Amelia Fliss and her cousin Agatha Wick.
In the otherwise quiet municipality of Durscombe, the inhabitants of the small seaside town harbour a deadly secret.
Amelia Fliss, wife of a wealthy merchant, is the lone voice who speaks out against the deadly practice of the wrecking and plundering of ships on the rocks in Lyme bay, but no-one appears to be listening to her.
As evil and malcontent spread like cholera throughout the community, and the locals point fingers and vow to take vengeance against outsiders, the dead take it upon themselves to end a barbaric tradition the living seem to lack the will to stop.
Set in Devon in the UK during the 1860s, The Municipality of Lost Souls is a Victorian Gothic ghost story, with characters who will leave their mark on you forever.
If you enjoyed Beyond the Veil, you really don’t want to miss this novel.
