When murder strikes during the town’s summer festival, the constables arrest the most unlikely suspect: Choopie the chupacabra!The victim was a loan shark who had plenty of other people who wanted him dead—but everyone else has an ironclad alibi. Until Elsie can prove the chupacabra’s innocence, the entire paranormal menagerie at FLAME Farms is under house arrest.

She’s got a multi-species posse always down for anything it takes to crack the case. Whether it’s burglary or perjury—Elsie and the gang will risk it all to save the animal shelter.Can they outsmart the crafty killer, or will it be game over for FLAME Farms?

About Skye Sullivan

Skye Sullivan lives in Los Angeles, but yearns for a magic wand to whisk her away to anywhere else. She studied creative writing at the University of California, but if they knew she'd one day be writing stories about witches solving murders with talking animals, the program director would have given her spot to someone else.

Her pecan pie literally won an award and one time in 1994 a magician picked her to come up on stage to be part of the trick, so she's pretty much perfectly qualified to be writing this stuff.

She's got two small kids, a husband, and a cat-and all the dishrags, overflowing laundry baskets, and legos to prove it.
