🌿 Welcome to the home of  The Catmint Chronicles! ​🌿
​​Small village. Big secrets. And one cat who knows exactly when to talk.

☕ A Cozy Mystery Series Steeped in Secrets, Spice, and a Talking Cat
What if your cat could talk—but only when given a very specific herb?
And what if he still didn’t feel like helping? 😼
When New Yorker Rowan Thorne inherits Black Thumb Betty’s Café & Herb Shop in the odd little village of Cresswell-on-Wyrd, she expects tea, not trouble.
But between a missing recipe book, a suspicious death, and a cat named Cinnamon who sometimes speaks in riddles, she soon learns that every herb in the cupboard hides a story—and every villager has something to hide.
Perfect for fans of magical cats, quirky English villages, and mysteries without the body count, The Catmint Chroniclesblends humor, heart, and a hint of herbal magic.  🍵🔍


🐾 Why You’ll Love This Series
  • A cozy English village with gossip as strong as the tea
  • A fiercely independent heroine rebuilding her life one cup at a time
  • A cat whose opinions are as sharp as his claws
  • Gentle magic rooted in memory, friendship, and the secrets we steep
✨
