A Twisted Riposte: A California Fae Cozy Mystery
About this ebook
Twizzle Twist isn’t your normal real estate pixie. Nor is St. Maurice your normal Southern California town. The magic in the valley belches at the worst time. Twizzle’s mismatched wings and bum leg are the least of her worries.
With a cute new vampire in town, their house-hunting lunges off-target when her client's favorite house comes with more than they bargained for. The owner, second witch of the Stellar Blues coven, is dead, stabbed in the back with her own sword.
In addition to murder, Twizzle has more to worry about. Her town has one of the few remaining amusement piers on the west coast. And someone is twisting the town council to tear it down. If that happens, it will be the end of Twizzle's home above the carousel.
With a murderer on the loose, a cute vampire she needs to sell a home to, sniping and plotting between the rival covens, and the imminent demise of her home on the pier, Twizzie has too many strikes to dodge all at once.
Will Twizzle and her friends, like Mortimer the mini-dragon, pull the right cord to untangle the twisted knot of intrigue in their sleepy SoCal town? Can they do so before the killer lunges again?
If you love mysteries with a dash of quirky characters, a dose of warped magic, and snarky humor, you'll love Alyn Troy's Paranormal Cozy Mysteries.

About the author
Alyn Troy is American from the Midwest (Indiana) who writes The Mystic Brews , Pixie Twist, and Eerie Falls series of Cozy Mysteries. In addition to Indiana, he's lived in Southern California, where the Pixie Twist series is set, and has served as a history docent on notable pier in SoCal. In his past lives, he's been a journalist, a wedding photographer, and an adjunct professor.
Alyn gets daily assistance from his fuzzy familiar (AKA "Lord Fuzzbutt"). When not helping his human with the writing of paranormal cozy mysteries, Lord Fuzzbutt likes to sit out outside and watch the hummingbirds dart about like pixies. He often yowls at the door, waiting to head to the patio for chipmunk duty. Fortunately, the little rodents are craftier than Fuzzbutt is.
Alyn's beverage of choice is dark roast coffee with a dash of honey, and a splash of half-n-half. In addition to being half-way competent with his home espresso machine, Alyn makes a mean Mai Tai.
