But when the African God of Death pays her a visit after losing his throne, danger is back on the menu. All decorum is thrown out with the tea leaves as the line between the living and the dead gets thinner with the passing of every full moon. Only Miss Knight can persuade the powers-that-be to reinstate Death and the circle of life. But everyone has their own agenda, and time is running out. While the small colonial town of Nairobi is used to all manner of monsters and mayhem, this latest debacle might need more than a pot of tea to endure it. More info →

Ghosts of Tsavo
FREE
Armed with Victorian etiquette, a fully loaded walking stick and a dead husband, Beatrice Knight arrives in colonial Kenya desperate for a pot of tea and a pinch of cinnamon. But she’ll need more than that if she’s to unravel the mystery of the Ghosts of Tsavo without being eaten in the process. She must endure all manner of inconveniences while surviving the machinations of her best friend’s dashing godfather and the efforts of her safari guide to feed her to any lion willing to drag her away. What is a ghost-chasing widow to do? More info →
The Automaton’s Wife
$2.99
Beatrice Knight has enough to contend with: a zebra is dead on her lawn, her horse is possessed and a gentleman has arrived with the temerity to propose to her. To top it off, her dead husband Gideon has absconded with an automaton, threatening to return for his wife. The wife in question however soon has other issues, for a killer has moved into town with a nasty habit of carving up the victims. As luck should dictate, who should be the next target but Mrs Knight herself? More info →
Revenge of the Mantis
$2.99
All is proceeding as it should for Beatrice Knight. That is, until the African Lightning God lands in her barn and announces that Mrs. Knight’s arch nemesis is about to pay an unsolicited visit. This time, the giant Praying Mantis Koki won’t be so easily dissuaded from exacting revenge against the intrepid paranormal investigator. Mrs. Knight must now answer one critical question: what, or whom, is she prepared to sacrifice in order to defeat the Mantis? As if that isn’t heart-wrenching enough, Mr. Timmons boldly presents a possibility too terrible to consider, yet too tempting to refuse. Now, if only she could survive long enough to make a decision… More info →
The Fourth Mandate
$3.99
Having offered her firm and unequivocal resignation, Beatrice Knight is certain she is clear of her former employer, the Society for Paranormals, and is now free to proceed with her life and a wedding. It all seems quite simple, until the Society’s Director Prof Runal shows up at the train station, her cousin announces horrifying news and a ponytailed dwarf decides he needs her powers to eradicate all non-humanoid paranormals. At least one thing is certain: anything is manageable with a pot of tea and a fully loaded walking stick. More info →
Curse of the Nandi
$3.99
Mrs. Beatrice Knight is preparing to move into a life of marital bliss, or at least marital satisfaction, with her new husband who fortunately is very much alive and can’t float through walls. While she is no expert on honeymoons, she’s certain that they shouldn’t involve brainless heads, bloodsucking fireflies and Bubonic Plague. These however are mere inconveniences, for there’s another threat of greater significance: the Nandi are rising up against their colonial masters and are determined to rid the land of all things British. The intrepid Mrs. Knight faces all this with her usual aplomb, her hefty walking stick and, of course, a pot of tea. But will her marriage survive? More info →
A Spider Comes Calling
$3.99
Mrs. Beatrice Timmons (aka Miss Knight) is thoroughly unimpressed by the troop of monkeys that have invaded her kitchen. Of course, that’s only the beginning of the influx of undesirable critters. When a giant spider appears in the garden, Mrs. Timmons knows there’s trouble brewing and it’s not served with tea. A choice must be made: agree to an unholy alliance or endanger an unborn child? To confound matters further, her husband disapproves of the whole venture. And that’s before Mrs. Timmons vanishes into the Underworld to pay an unsolicited visit to the God of Death. While it’s all for a good cause, the consequences could be dire. More info →
Stones of Nairobi
$3.99
Not easily befuddled, the intrepid supernatural sleuth Mrs. Beatrice Knight Timmons can’t fathom how the ancient tombstone of a legendary warrior-king ended up in Nairobi. All she knows is that her life is on the line once again as she embarks on her most dangerous mission yet: to retrieve a corpse and the soul it once housed. Mrs. Timmons may need more than a pot of tea if she wants to solve this case and stop a looming battle from enveloping all of British East Africa. To do so, she’ll have to work with the enemy and learn to read poetry. Then again, who has time for poems with a traitor plotting, an unborn child causing havoc and her husband sitting in prison?

When can I get Book 7?? Have read the others and am addicted!!
I’m working on book 7 right now! Hopefully by end of year it will be done.
These books are fabulous! With tongue firmly in cheek, Mrs. Beatrice Knight bravely and cheerfully researches oddities, fights monsters and always manages to keep her Victorian unflappability. A treat to read, and as addictive as the cream cakes at a tea party – you just have to reach for another one (and another, and another…)!
Hi Wanda – I’m so glad you enjoyed the books. Let me know if you are able to leave any reviews. I give away short stories for reviews of the first four books, because every review really is important!
Cheers

I enjoyed your paranormal society series and look forward to the next book. Weaving mythological lore with historical time periods are among my favorite stories as well as strong female heroines. Among recommending books the “Parasol Protectorate ” is another similar series I have enjoyed. While I am American the lore of our Irish decent was taught to us and a song belief to never dismiss it as complete fantasy, that all legends grow from a seed of truth. This I am sure is why I am drawn to stories written in that manner. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next book.
Thanks Renee – glad you enjoyed it! I love mythology and I agree that there is often a grain of truth tucked inside.
Just finished the Beatrice Knight books – good fun. A little steampunk thrown in as well as a heroine I could fall for if I were living at the right time and the right country!
I’m keeping an eye open for Book 7.
Keep it up 🙂
Thanks, Frank!
I stumbled across Ghosts of Tsavo in related reads in one of the books I was reading. It was free so I thought what the hey. Absolutely loved it! Really addictive and can’t wait for the next one.
Thanks Maria! I’m thrilled you enjoyed it. Book 7 is coming out end of the month and will include 7 free books on launch day!
Just finished book 7. That was great and i cant wait for the Cozy Tea Shoppe Mystery series!
Glad you enjoyed it, Maria!

Thank you for you for your quick reply. Keep up the good work.

Can’t wait for “Death in a Teacup”
Thanks – me too!
I enjoyed reading the first Beatrice Knight book, it was both entertaining and humorous. The descriptions of African life was also a plus.
Awesome – glad you enjoyed it! Hope you get a chance to read the rest – my personal favorites are books 6 and 7.
I really loved the ghosts of tsavo. I look forward to reading many more of your wonderful stories in the future.

I am a huge fan of your writing. I cannot wait for the release of “Death in a Teacup”. Please keep them coming. I don’t ever want Beatrice’s adventures to end. The supporting characters are equally enjoyable.
Thanks – Miss Knight has no intention of disappearing anytime soon!
