Murder by Magic

Ola Mae Masters was a lonely child. Abandoned by her mother and raised in an orphanage, she is tortured by her ability to communicate with the dead and read the minds of just about everyone around her. Rejected by her classmates, Ola Mae finds new friends in the books she reads. By the time she graduates from college, she's determined to find a new place to call home. An unexpected offer to set up her own bookstore, sparks a trip to New Moon Beach. But it won't be long before she discovers that there is a whole lot more to her new life than she ever expected. Fate has dropped her into a cauldron of magic that includes a family she never knew she had, a witchy history, she is reluctant to embrace and a handsome suitor who might have an even more questionable legacy than her own. To make matters worse, something evil is after her.Will her magic be strong enough to protect her new life or will she die trying? After spending over thirty five years in education I discovered my love for writing and decided that it was time to retire to create my own magical beach city. Modeled after Redondo Beach, California, where I grew up - I've had a super time introducing readers to the Merriman community. A family of witches filled with love, magic and never ending adventure, these three sisters and their extended family members are constantly running into one paranormal problem after another.My latest book, Murder By Magic, is my first attempt at writing a cozy mystery and I hope that you find as much enjoyment reading it as I did writing it. Feel free to stop by my website where you can see my other books and learn about my love for sewing and traveling. I even included a picture of me and one of my troll friends that I met on my recent trip to Bergen, Norway. www.meriamwilhelm.comI hope that you find your own magic soon...until then, you can borrow mine!
