What will Mag Balefire do when someone from her past comes back to haunt her?

When Bradley Graham disappeared a few weeks before his wedding, everyone assumed he had a case of cold feet. Except for his fiance and a dead medium named Roma.

In order to get Roma to leave Balms and Bygones, and take all her ghostly friends with her, Mag and Clara must solve the mystery.

If you like a good paranormal mystery with a heaping dollop of sarcasm and wit, you'll love this humorous magical story full of chaos and intrigue.

Haunted by Murder is the fourth book in the Elder Witch paranormal cozy mystery series.

This is a full-length, humorous mystery novel featuring witches and other paranormal characters.

ReGina Welling prefers not to talk about herself in the third person so...

I live in Maine with my husband, a silly flufferpup named Dash, and a crazy cat named Cricket. I write full time and also create mixed media artwork when I get the chance.

When I was three, my mom brought home a new book and when she went to read it to me, I read it to her instead. That was when she realized I'd learned to read. Since then I couldn't even estimate the number of books I've read. It's a lot!

Another great story of the adventures of Mag and Clara Balefire. This is a stand alone story with no cliffhanger.
Mag and Clara, witchy sisters, are being haunted by the ghost of a medium friend of Mags, Roma. Seems she's attached herself to a crystal ball she once loaned Mag and has unfinished business that she needs the sisters to help with before she can cross over.
One thing leads to another and the sisters are helping a client of Roma's, Stephanie, deal with the sudden disappearance of her fiancé, Brad.
Clues have been kept secret by all kinds of people around Stephanie. They claim that they have Stephanie's best interest at heart. But do they really? Only time will tell.
I've skipped around in the order I've read these books and have no problem jumping around. If you enjoy paranormal cozy mysteries I strongly recommend this series. As free reading time permits I'll make my way thru all of the books.

Another Great Balefire Sisters Magical Murder Mystery!

Does one have to have magical resources available to them to solve a mysterious death? No, but it sure helps!!
Especially if one isn't certain that a murder has been committed! Take one ghost, A young heiress, (there's always an heiress somewhere, isn't there?). Kiddie, I've read too many paperback novels found in airports and I don't go to airports! A missing man, A missing fiance (same man), screaming nightmares, nightmares where you see yourself killing the young man and a pair of witch sisters.
What do you have? Book 4 of The Mag and Clara Balefire Mysteries. That's what you have. Enjoy reading this one. There isn't A dull monsoon any page.

Wonderful Series

I am getting more and more invested in the characters. Not just the witch sisters, but the other witches and the townspeople. The mystery was very good. Loved the ending. Hope the next book revolves around Mag. She is a great character, having sacrificed so much to fight evil. Love her.

Helping hands

Strange things happen, and there are reasons sometimes we don't know right away!! This book brings in the ideas that these things are certainly real. Good characters and story. Will be looking for more!@

the typos really ruined the story

This is the best of all 4 of the books but the typos really ruined it! Really can’t you remember that the name is Mag not Max?
