It's a winter solstice story set in California wine country, with a seventy-something witch who's always been more of an armchair magician.
Here's what the book's about:
WINTER OF THE WITCH
A solstice ritual, a body in the koi pond… and one 75-year-old scholar forced to practice what she’s only ever preached.
Beatrix Marzanna has spent a lifetime keeping magic safely theoretical and people at a careful distance—especially the niece she raised and the handful of friends she still claims. Visiting a quiet wine-country town for a winter solstice rite at her friend Elaine’s house, she expects nothing more than candlelight and company. Instead, a fellow modern witch is found dead in the koi pond.
The police call it a tragic slip. Beatrix knows better. When a second woman is killed, Beatrix must risk the fragile connection she still has to catch a killer.
As the hours tick down to Christmas, she’s left with one stark truth: at seventy-five, she may be running out of time to open herself to the divine, to real power… and to the people who matter the most.
Some winters refuse to stay theoretical.
They demand the witch.
Step into the cold, the crows, and the quiet magic of the novella Winter of the Witch—book four in the Mystery School series—and discover whether Beatrix will finally answer the call.
