About the Author

Clare Lockhart grew up on Nancy Drew and paranormal stories from her dad who loved all things supernatural. She writes lighthearted, small-town, paranormal cozy mysteries featuring middle-aged sleuths who are going through a few changes. If you like stories about best friends who find themselves in the odd pickle, twisty murder plots that keep you guessing, and cheeky, paranormal visitors, then you'll love Clare's fast-paced mysteries!

Traci Odom, an American-born actor and voice artist, has built a successful career that spans decades. As a stage, film, and television actor, she has played everything from a tree to an Irish setter to a lawyer, but it is as a veteran narrator of more than fifty-five audiobooks that she has truly found her voice, inviting her listeners into the worlds of romance, witchcraft, devilry, and vampirism. To relax in her spare time, she daydreams of becoming the first female American Ninja Warrior-but then she would have to get off her couch to make that dream a reality, so she lives out her daydreams in her professional life, both on camera and on microphone. Working in close collaboration with her authors, she brings their creations to life with dynamic energy and commitment.
