Fun paranormal cozy mysteries. Tricked into accepting her heritage as a witch, Lexie is led straight to danger. Along the way, she is ‘chosen’ by a loyal feline companion, Luna. Her lack of experience as a cat owner puts her at odds with the Mackenzie Coven Rule #1 “Do not lose your cat” (especially if there is a killer on the loose with a fetish for stuffed cats).

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU KNEW YOU HAD ONE WEEK TO LIVE?
Some of you might get your legal affairs in order, revise your will, and write detailed instructions. Some would call or write to family, friends, lovers, and ex-lovers. Others might do a bucket-list item or two, even make an exceptional donation. Or perhaps clean the refrigerator, dust the furniture, wash the floors or do the laundry? And some might kill.

Laced with political satire, humor, and a dash of romance, FINAL NOTICE is a fast-paced page-turner that is, at the same time, a realistic reflection of modern society.
