Poor Tito the Taco Man…it’s “nacho” lucky day…
Yo quiero taco man!
Hello again! It’s me, Stevie Cartwright, ex-witch and new Madam Zoltar! I was fresh off the murder-suspect list and just settling into MZ’s psychic medium shoes—with the help of my bat familiar Belfry and spirit spy Win—when another death rocked sleepy little Ebenezer Falls, Washington.
Tito Bustamante, my beloved purveyor of mouth-watering Mexican munchies, has been found dead in the food truck court! Rumor has it Tito’s was stickin’ his chimichanga where it didn’t belong, and my gut—not to mention his less-than-natural death—says murder.
No one is above suspicion. Not Tito’s own wife and daughter, not his arch food truck enemy Jacob…certainly not the son Tito didn’t know about, newly arrived in Ebenezer Falls and getting cozy with my hired help.
Do join me (and try not to point and laugh) as I juggle catching a killer with the home renovations from hell, snooping for clues about Win’s previous life, gabbing with/eavesdropping on the locals and enduring a visit from my very unwelcome, very annoyingly gorgeous ex-coven leader—all while continuing to adjust to my new witchless existence!
Huge thanks again to Scharize Khamille for her help with the Spanish in this book—you’re a treasure!
When I say it takes a village to create a book, it’s no lie. Sure, the writing part is pretty solitary, for me anyway. But the entirety isn’t possible without plotting, writing sprints, planning, tweaking, and editing to within an inch of the life of said book.
Without the above from my BFF, Renee George, my dear friend and editor, Kelli Collins, my cheerleader, Michelle Hoppe, my FB readers, reviewers, my street team, my husband, Rob, the people I consider my own personal village, I’d never be able to get through this.
I’m eternally grateful to all of them—from the tips of my toes to the bottom of my heart.

If you’re joining me for the first time, welcome to Ebenezer Falls, Washington! A fictional suburb of Seattle, where my heroine, Stevie Cartwright, has gone to lick her witchless wounds. This cozy mystery is a spinoff of my Paris, Texas, romance series. If you’ve not visited the whacky happenings in Paris, fear not, darling readers! This series is completely stand-alone. If you’ve read Paris, expect to see some familiar faces dropping in from time to time.
And please note, the Witchless In Seattle Mysteries series is best read in order to understand the full backstory and the history of each character with each book, and how they connect to the next.
Also, hope you’ll join me for Dewitched, Book 3 in this series, releasing in May!
But no matter how you got here, thanks so much for joining Stevie and company on their journey to solve afterlife mysteries and her search to regain her witchy powers!
