A Haunting in Bliss

Halloween has arrived in Bliss, Iowa, and the town is fully committed to cozy chaos.

Between pumpkin displays, costume contests, ghost tours, and enough baked goods to feed half the Midwest, Lyssa Jones and her punk-rock pixie business partner, Sam Coby, are determined to make Bliss’s brand-new Haunted Harvest Festival a success.

Instead, the festival brings a haunting.

When strange events begin terrifying customers at The Stitchery, Bliss’s beloved yarn shop owned by the mysterious and eccentric Elva McDowell, rumors spread faster than cider at a fall festival. Lights flicker. Objects move on their own. Ghostly voices echo through the shop after dark. And before long, half the town is convinced The Stitchery is truly haunted.

Lyssa Jones is not entirely convinced.

With help from Sam, her ghostly father Jimi Jones, Trouble the cat, and Stevie the blind husky, Lyssa dives into another amateur investigation to uncover what’s really happening inside the cozy little yarn shop.

Unfortunately, solving mysteries in Bliss is never simple.

Especially when judgmental city council member Mrs. Abernathy is determined to shut down the festival, townspeople keep adding wild theories to the rumor mill, and Lyssa discovers the haunting may be connected to secrets someone desperately wants to keep hidden.

Filled with small-town charm, quirky characters, autumn vibes, paranormal twists, and plenty of humor, A Haunting in Bliss is a cozy Halloween mystery novella perfect for readers who love ghostly mysteries, charming communities, found family, and amateur sleuths with a talent for attracting trouble.
