About Us

Paris is always a good idea. ~ Audrey Hepburn

My name is Lorri Moulton and I own Lavender Cottage Books. We decided to create a second website exclusively for our mysteries. They all have a little magic or fantasy included with two series being paranormal mysteries.

Abigail McKee is a real person (and good friend), but Anna-Violetta Carsini is my pen name. She’s my sophisticated alter ego, and a great choice for all things paranormal and romantic suspense. Enjoy the stories!

The Magic of Burrows Bay, co-authored with Abigail McKee, is the first book in our Burrows Bay Romance Series. Moira and Gabriella discover their grandmother has left them a mansion in the San Juan Islands, north of Seattle. The two cousins, who have not seen each other in the past fifteen years, must learn to work together to uncover their true heritage. And what they find will change their lives forever. This is a four book serialized story (so far) and includes a recipe book!

Storm Front: Memoirs of a Secret Agent is the first book in this spy series filled with suspense, romance and even a little paranormal. “The role of women has always been undervalued in the spy world, always undermined in terms of recognition. Unfairly so. It’s a world that needs women.” -Helen Mirren
When a spy loses her memory, she doesn’t know who to trust…or what to believe. I felt myself flying through the air, and I was strangely calm for a moment as the reality of the situation faded away. This wasn’t happening. It couldn’t be happening. I’d wake up any moment and realize it was all a bad dream. Then, I hit the water. What happens, when the people you thought you could trust betray you? That’s bad enough in any relationship…but when you’re a spy, it can be deadly.

Moonlight, Roses & Murder is a murder mystery and a paranormal suspense story. Selina is a woman with a secret and she has been hiding it for a very long time. With her nieces, she runs Luna’s, a nightclub in downtown Seattle, catering to Steampunk and Goth clientele. When someone leaves a body behind her club, she is drawn into a web of mystery and murder. Puncture marks on the body indicate a vampire might be responsible and when more women are killed, a red rose is left by their bodies. A vampire hunter with secrets of his own comes to investigate and Selina wonders, who she can trust…
