About:
W. L. Hawkin writes the kind of books she loves to read from her home in the Pacific Northwest. Because she’s a genre-blender, you might find crime, mystery, romance, suspense, fantasy, adventure, and even time travel, interwoven into her stories.
If you like “myth, magic, and mayhem” her Hollystone Mysteries feature a coven of West Coast witches who solve murders using ritual magic and a little help from the gods. The books—To Charm a Killer, To Sleep with Stones, To Render a Raven, and To Kill a King—follow Estrada, a free-spirited, bisexual magician and coven high priest as he endeavors to save his family and friends while sorting through his own personal issues. Book Five, To Dance with Destiny, is expected in late 2023.
Her latest release, Lure: Jesse & Hawk, was a recipient of a Crowned Heart Award from InD’Tale Magazine and a finalist in The 2022 Wishing Shelf UK Book Awards. Lure is small-town romantic suspense story set in the American Midwest in the fictional town of Lure River.
If you don’t find Wendy at Blue Haven Press, she’s out wandering the woods or beaches of Vancouver Island with her beautiful yellow dog.
