Title: Raven’s Hollow Spring Magic

 

Author: Tena Stetler

 

Genre: Paranormal Mystery/Romance

 

Book Blurb:

 

Spring is in full bloom in Raven’s Hollow, a small town in the Colorado Rockies with a population of unique townspeople. Blaze, a dragon shifter, and Wynter, a witch, are neck-deep in wedding preparations, when Wynter’s mother, Jade, goes missing after opening her new antique store, and attending the Simon estate sale where she procured an ancient jelly bean machine. Frantic with worry, Blaze and Wynter track her last movements via the store’s ancient, grainy, security footage. What it reveals is nothing short of shocking. As deputy sheriff, it’s Blaze’s responsibility to find his soon-to-be mother-in-law. But at what cost?

 

Excerpt:

 

LoraLee waved from the front porch of her rescue. “Mandy said you’d be stopping in. What can I do for you?”

 

“Not sure. My house is too quiet. No one to greet me at the door last night. Uh—”

 

“Where’s Blaze? That man is always working.” LoraLee shook her head.

 

“It’s not that, he’s away on business, but—”

 

“I understand. Come on in, look around, see if one of my residents calls to you.” The woman motioned around back. “It’s so nice everyone is out in their runs today.” LoraLee let Wynter wander down the path between dog runs. “Rabbits, birds, reptiles are housed on the left at the end of the runs. Cat’s are in the enclosure with covered exercise areas on the right beyond the lilac bushes.”

 

“Thanks.” Wynter inhaled the sweet scent of Lilac as she ambled between the runs. Several dogs rushed to the gate, barking, and wagging their tails. Wynter talked to each one, hoping for a connection, then moved on. Almost at the end, she saw a chocolate colored, furry dog, with the saddest brown eyes she’d ever seen. The canine stretched out in a patch of sunlight a few feet from the animal’s gate. Peering at the sign on the gate, she knelt down. “What’s your story Cocoa? Why so sad? It’s a beautiful day.”

 

The dog raised its head, swiveled its ears forward and back, then stared into her eyes, and wagged its tail once almost hopefully, then got up stretched and wandered over to the gate.

 

Wynter turned to LoraLee as the woman came up to stand by her. “May I pet Cocoa?”

 

“Oh sure. I wondered if you two might connect. Cocoa lost her owner to a heart attack a few weeks ago. Hasn’t had much of an appetite or interest in life since. She’s five years old, and spent all of those years the center of the old woman’s life. So sad.” LoraLee brightened. “This is the most interest she’s shown in anything since she’s been here.”

 

Reaching her hand through the fence, Wynter rubbed under the dog’s muzzle, side of the head, and ear. Cocoa closed her eyes then licked Wynter’s hand with a dark purple tongue. The dog’s tail curled over her back for a beat, then drooped down again. “Can I take her for a walk around the compound?”

 

“Of course. I’ll get her leash and harness.” LoraLee rushed to the administration building and returned quickly.

 

“How about going for a walk, girl?”  She stood, opened the gate hesitatingly, and knelt in front of the dog blocking the exit.

 

Smiling, LoraLee opened the gate wider, sidestepped Wynter, and slid the harness over Cocoa’s head and snapped the leash on the harness. “Off you two go.”

 

The dog’s tail curled over her back again and the Cocoa trotted beside Wynter. Cocoa turned her head occasionally to gaze at her possible rescuer. At least Wynter got that vibe.

 

 Leading the canine over to a big shade tree, Wynter stopped, eased down on the grass and rubbed the dog under the chin. “Well, what do you think, girl? Would you like to come home with me?” She rubbed Cocoa’s ears. “I have a dragon shifter for a fiancé, but you’ll get along fine, I’m sure. He’s a good guy. A little opinionated and pushy, but…” She shrugged feeling the dog’s sadness, now overshadowed with hope, Wynter made her decision. “Maybe you can help us solve a mystery?”

What’s your favorite thing about springtime?

 

I love camping or really glamping (we travel in a 38-foot, 5th wheel ). Gardening, seeing all the flowers sprouting and the grass starting to turn green. Love all of the colors not seen since winter set in with its dull drab brown. Sitting on our front porch, watching all the neighbors in their yards, the kids playing, also being able to go for a walk in warm weather.  Can you tell it’s been one heck of a cold fall and winter in Colorado this year. LOL

 

Why is your featured book a must-read this spring?

 

Spring is in full bloom in Raven’s Hollow, a small town in the Colorado Rockies with unique townspeople. You’ll love getting to know them.  A mysterious disappearance has the law enforcement baffled and the townspeople worried. But it has an HEA ending of course.
