5 Suspiciously Specific Clues About Me

The Familiar Situation: My Chow Chow, Brutus, is less of a pet and more of a delightfully stubborn (possibly enchanted) editor who communicates entirely through dramatic sighs and suspicious side-eye whenever I stray from the plot.Irish Atmosphere Appreciation: Living in Ireland has given me a healthy respect for mischievous folklore, misty mornings that hide secrets, and the absolute certainty that at least one noise the house makes isn't just 'settling'.Alchemical Writing Fuel: My best writing happens during thunderstorms, fueled by strong tea and suspiciously dark chocolate – yum!Domestic Bliss vs. Eldergloom Mayhem: When I'm not plotting murder in Eldergloom, you'll likely find me attempting domestic bliss: baking something possibly questionable (my sourdough starter has opinions), debating mystery tropes with my husband over tea, or trying to convince Brutus that a cozy night in doesn't actually require him hogging the entire sofa.Vintage Heart, Restless Imagination: My birth certificate might suggest 'vintage,' but my imagination refuses to retire quietly, preferring weekends filled with board game battles, creative schemes, or getting lost in worlds where magic is decidedly real (unlike doing taxes).

Some towns have secrets. Some towns have scandals. And some towns have both—plus a few ghosts, a suspiciously high murder rate, and a cat with an attitude problem.Daisy Graves writes paranormal cozy mysteries packed with twisty whodunits, meddlesome magic, and just enough drama to make the town’s busiest gossip reconsider her life choices. Her books blend the sharp wit of Golden Girls, and the witchy charm of Practical Magic, all set in a world where supernatural shenanigans are just part of the local scenery.With every story, Daisy invites readers into a world that’s charming, cursed, and delightfully deadly—where gossip travels faster than broomsticks, eavesdropping is practically a sport, and someone is always on the verge of discovering a long-lost family secret (or a body).So if you love quirky found families, magical mayhem, and mysteries with just a touch of the dramatic—you’re in the right place.

About
