A Twisted Riposte

Book excerpt: A town of wonky magic. A fencer stabbed by her own blade. Can Twizzie untangle the twisted mystery? Twizzle Twist isn’t your normal real estate pixie. Nor is St. Maurice your normal Southern California town. The magic in the valley belches at the worst time. Twizzle’s mismatched wings and bum leg are the least of her worries. With a cute new vampire in town, their house-hunting lunges off-target when her client's favorite house comes with more than they bargained for. The owner, second witch of the Stellar Blues coven, is dead, stabbed in the back with her own sword. In addition to murder, Twizzle has more to worry about. Her town has one of the few remaining amusement piers on the west coast. And someone is twisting the town council to tear it down. If that happens, it will be the end of Twizzle's home above the carousel. With a murderer on the loose, a cute vampire she needs to sell a home to, sniping and plotting between the rival covens, and the imminent demise of her home on the pier, Twizzie has too many strikes to dodge all at once. Will Twizzle and her friends, like Mortimer the mini-dragon, pull the right cord to untangle the twisted knot of intrigue in their sleepy SoCal town? Can they do so before the killer lunges again?
