A Twisted Riposte: A California Fae Cozy Mystery
About this ebook
Welcome to St. Maurice, a whimsical seaside town built atop a confluence of magical ley lines, where the extraordinary and the bizarre collide. Meet Twizzle Twist, the town's top real estate pixie with a knack for turning dreams into homes—until one home comes with a newly deceased owner in the study–stabbed with her own sword.
The vibrant fencer’s demise sends shockwaves through the covens, and sends Twizzle spiraling into a whirlwind of intrigue. Who would want to silence an influential member of the community?
As Twizzle digs deeper, she discovers more than just a murder; she uncovers a tangled web of secrets that threaten her beloved town. With the uncanny ability of magic turning unpredictable, St. Maurice is on edge.
And someone is out to tear down the cherished amusement pier—the only slice of magic left in town that Twizzle has always called home. She and others live in apartments above the old carousel on the pier.
With the help of her quirky friends, including Amanda the mermaid barista and Mortimer the mini-dragon, can Twizzle untangle the mysteries lurking in the shadows? Will she find the killer before their next strike puts everything she loves in danger?
Join Twizzle on her thrilling adventure of magic, mayhem, and murder in the debut of the Pixie Twist Mysteries—where every twist and turn is sprinkled with pixie dust and peril!

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.
