Strawberry Solstice: A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel

Crescent Bay’s High Solstice Renaissance Faire is in full swing, bringing tourists, tournaments, and midsummer mischief. Between strawberry picking, horseback riding, and a weekend of camping with friends, I was ready to enjoy the longest days of the year. But when a beloved local pony disappears – and then a man goes missing from our campsite – summer’s enchantment turns eerie.

Carter Monroe isn’t exactly a friend, but when he blunders into the woods and never returns, his daughter is left waiting at the campfire.

Worse, Grace Wayburn, the no-nonsense owner of Rivergreen Stables and a good friend of David’s, vanishes the same night, leaving behind her prized horse.

A stolen pony. A missing man. A vanished horsewoman.

This isn’t coincidence.

And just when I think it can’t get stranger, I spot something flitting through the trees – iridescent, impossible…and otherworldly. The fae magic I’ve sworn to guard is seeping into Crescent Bay again, and I can’t tell David the truth. Not about the moon garden, not about the portal I protect, and definitely not about the tiny creatures that might have lured Carter and Grace into the dark.

Lying to the man I love is getting harder. But if I don’t, I might lose more than just him.

The solstice is supposed to bring light…but this year the shadows are hungry.
