“Amulets & Alibis in Archangel: A Witchy & Witty Paranormal Cozy Mystery” by Althea Plume has been released worldwide. This 206-page ebook is a charming, whimsical murder mystery set in Archangel, Alaska that follows archaeologist, amateur sleuth, and novice earth and air witch Aurora Yardley. Alongside her mother, an experienced air and sea witch, and her cat Thornfield, the intrepid Aurora dives headlong into solving a mysterious death as the darkest days of winter descend upon the cozy town.
Book 1 of the author’s Aurora Yardley Paranormal Mysteries collection, the story combines intrigue and action with lighthearted humor, paranormal creatures, and fantastical magic to weave a compelling, entertaining tale that keeps readers guessing – and smiling – from beginning to end.
USA Today bestselling author J.J. Hebert recently endorsed the book, calling it “a magical escape to a snowbound Alaskan town where shadows stir, secrets run deep, and danger unfolds under 60 days of darkness.”
“Aurora Yardley, our bold archaeologist and novice witch, leads this captivating tale,” Hebert continued, “with plenty of twists, laughs, and chills. I couldn’t put it down—this story transported me to a world of suspense and enchantment. You’re going to love it!”
Among the story’s twists and turns, Plume shows the importance of collaboration, the limiting beliefs imposed by stereotypes and preconceived ideas, and the power of gentle qualities like mercy and grace. With a delightful cast of characters, imaginative elements of magic, nods to the mysticism of cultures around the world, and a heartfelt message that inspires self-knowledge and caring for others, author Althea Plume brings her narrative to life, setting the stage for future installments of Aurora Yardley’s mystery-solving adventures.

From the back cover:
Welcome to Archangel, Alaska, where the northern lights dance, the shadows are restless, and the snow dunes are keepers of deadly secrets.
Aurora Yardley here—archaeologist, amateur sleuth, and novice witch with a knack for getting caught up in mystical murder mysteries. The last one: a ghostly cadaver whose untimely death nearly triggered a metaphysical meltdown at the Grand Canyon. Now, my feisty feline, Thornfield, and I have returned home for some cozy Arctic downtime with mom—a seasoned air and sea witch with the quirkiest antique shop south of the North Pole. But it turns out fate has other plans.
As 60 days of darkness prepare to descend on Archangel, a local louse turns up dead. The list of mortal suspects is longer than the Polar Night. And that doesn’t even include the gloamers, who typically emerge from the shadows after the town surrenders to nightfall but have shown up early this year. To make matters worse, the last plane out of town has flown the coop, so we’re trapped until the spring thaw with a handful of livid locals, a few terrified tourists, and a gang of mischievous gloamers… any of whom could be the murderer.
With perpetual twilight pressing in and the temperature dropping, mom, Thorny, and I have to solve this chilling riddle before the killer strikes again.
