Sprinkles and Sea Serpents features a thirty-something woman whose frenemy sabotaged her at a work at a Portland (Or) newspaper. Thus leaving our heroine, Rosella, with $20 to her name and zero prospects. Though she’s down, Rosella still has one card left to play — going home. Located nearish to Wenatchee, in Washington State, sits Rosella’s magically hidden hometown of Winterspell. Did I…

Welcome to The Cluttered Bookshelf.

My passion is finding time to read within this chaotic world we live in. To just settle down with a cup of coffee or a mug of tea and just disappear into a world of fantasies. Sadly, with my kids running amok,that isn't always a possibility.

I am a middle aged, Autistic mom of 4 (2 boys and 2 girls) who are also on the spectrum. This is where my Blog gets it's name. The Cluttered Bookshelf will combine my love of reading, my experiences with learning disabilities in a non-clinical way, dealing with living on the spectrum as both a parent and a person dealing with it. So, if you see my posts get a little rambling or a little off topic...that's why.

Now on to today's introduction topic.

I don't care if you prefer real books, audiobooks or e-readers, whatever works for you. We know life can be absolutely insane sometimes, so if the only way you can "read" is by popping on an audio book and go running in the park....DO IT!

I love all genres of books, but just like most folks I have a niche. Sometimes that niche changes with the discovery of a new book and sometimes it lasts for years. Currently I have gotten hooked on "Cozy Mysteries" and even those run in many different circles.

The series that started all this? Danielle Garrett's Beechwood Harbor Series. Magic and Mayhem and absolute fun. I suggest giving her a look if you are wanting some lighthearted fun and paranormal silliness mixed with an interesting set of mysteries.

Another Book Series and Author I love; The Sweet Tea Witches by Amy Boyles.

Another one lol.... Mara Webb and her Wicked Witches of Spellcaster Creek.

However, our cozy little rental cabin in the woods has a serious problem—an angry leprechaun infestation. Before we can get back to our romantic rendezvous, we have to prove we didn’t steal a magic…

Amazon Goodreads •Book Description• The pen is mightier than the sword—but what’s a witch to do when she has writer’s block?After landing my first official journalist job I thought the ideas would be spilling out faster than I could type. But it turns out life in the shadow of my debut piece is a little … make that a lot, harder than I expected.So, when a convicted murderer reaches out begging…

But that should work both ways, I think. I read a theory once that said that ghosts live in the ghosts of homes they died in - that even if the house is completely torn down and rebuilt, they still see and interact with it as it was. I love that love that love that.

Watch a ghostly woman ascend stairs that aren't there anymore. This room is always freezing because the ghost died when the door was locked and, for them, it remains locked forever. The ghost of your brother wandering the town at night because Mom forgot to close the back door the night he died.

Also SHOUT OUT TO DANIELLE GARRETT for coming up with the cool idea that the ghost's fears in life affect them in death! She wrote a novella called Along Came A Ghost about a ghost man who was trapped in an oceanside cave because he was so afraid of drowning in life that he couldn't cross water in death! How cool is that!
