Vella Day brings you a yarn-spinning, time-hopping, mystery-solving extravaganza! Hi, I'm Edith Emory, just an average book-loving knitter with a passion for collecting knick-knacks. When I stumbled upon a magical talisman at a garage sale, I ended up on a wild adventure. You see, this talisman had the power to transport me back in time, and by chance, I landed in the groovy year of 1969. But don't worry. I wasn't alone. I had my trusty sidekick and doll-collecting best friend, Millie Morris, with me. Together, we're uncovering a mystery that's not just out of this world, but out of this ...

A new job. A new hobby. And then death by bowling pin. Hi, I’m Glinda Goodall. After enjoying my waitressing job at my aunt’s restaurant for the last three years, I got sucked into opening up my own private investigation firm—as an amateur sleuth, of course. Just because I was a good listener[read: gossip seeker] and helped solve a few crimes, that didn’t mean I had any business hanging up my shingle. But hang it I did. In need of a different gossip source, my partner and I joined a bowling league. I know, right? I’ve shunned anything to do with athletics my whole life. Just my ...

Death by poison is not a good way to go—unless the punch tastes good. My ten-year high school reunion was supposed to be fun—seeing old friends and maybe even making a few new ones. And I was really looking forward to spending an evening with Jaxson’s brother, Drake, again. Too bad, when we entered the dance, one of Drake’s friends was lying dead on the floor covered in pink punch. Sure Kyle Covington was a very rich investor who’d made his share of enemies but had any of them been at the reunion? Considering Drake’s connection with the deceased, what kind of friend would I be ...

A scary night. A really weird theft. And some very unexpected helpers—or not-so-helpful helpers. Picture this: Halloween night at the cemetery.

Birthdays should be happy. Mine was until a magical ring caused me to see many, many ghosts. It was a present from my mom. She’d found the ring that her mom had asked her to pass down to me, tucked away in a closet. The stone was a match to my pink pendant. Dare I hope it was magical, too? Turns out it was, because when I tried it on, I saw them—them being about ten ghosts floating around in my aunt’s restaurant. Oh, my. Naturally, I couldn’t wait to find out what was going on. It wasn’t that I hadn’t seen ghosts before, just not so many at one time. Note: I took off the ring ...

Join me and my best friend Millie as we are given our first official time travel job: that of finding a rogue time traveler and escorting him back to the present. The time frame? Ancient Greece right after Aristotle opened his school called the Lyceum. I will be the first to admit that I was apprehensive about the accommodations and food back then, but neither turned out to be a problem. Other than the fact I couldn't wear my glasses--since they hadn't been invented yet--it was pretty luxurious back then. Okay, we couldn’t drink the water. Instead, we had wine. Oh, the hardship. The cool ...
