Sometimes the best way to know a person is by asking questions, so let’s meet Darcy.
What is your name?
Darcy Ann Merriweather.
How old are you?
31.
What is your profession?
I own As You Wish, a personal concierge service, and I’m an investigator for the Craft, a hereditary form of witchcraft.
Do you have a significant other?
Yes.
What is his name and profession?
Nick Sawyer. Nick is the Enchanted Village’s chief of police.
Any children?
Nick has a fourteen-year-old daughter, Mimi, and hopefully one day we’ll have more children.
Do you have any sibling(s)?
I have a younger sister, Harper.
Cats, dogs or other pets?
A ragamuffin cat, Annie; a Saint Bernard, Higgins; and then there’s Missy, a mini Schnoodle who’s sometimes ours, sometimes my Aunt Ve’s. It’s complicated.
What town do you live in?
I live in the Enchanted Village, a touristy neighborhood of Salem, Massachusetts.
House or building complex? Own or Rent?
I own my house.
What is your favorite spot in your house?
The kitchen.
Who is your best friend?
Harper.
Amateur sleuth or professional?
If we’re talking to mortals, amateur. If we’re sharing this with witches, professional.
Whom do you work with when sleuthing?
Mostly Nick. Sometimes my witch friends, including the village familiars, help out.
Favorite meal?
Take-out Chinese food.
Favorite dessert?
Mini devil’s food cupcakes or frozen peppermint patties.
Favorite hobby?
Snooping.
Favorite vacation spot?
Anywhere with a beach.
Favorite color?
Blue.
Favorite author?
My sister, Harper. She hasn’t started her book yet, but one day she will, and I’ll be first in line to buy it.
Favorite sports team?
The Lady Melees, a village jousting team.
Movies or Broadway?
Movies.
Are you a morning or a night person?
Early bird.
In a few sentences, what is a typical day in your life like?
Most of the time my days are anything but typical, not with the magical world I live in. All my days involve coffee, friendship, snooping, family, more coffee, magic, and love. Oh, and sometimes a little murder.

You can read about Darcy in To Catch a Witch, the eighth book in the “Wishcraft” mystery series. The first book in the series is It Takes a Witch.
Wishcrafter Darcy Merriweather might be a witch with the ability to grant wishes for others, but wishing isn’t going to help her catch a killer. . .
When wishcrafter Darcy Merriweather’s personal concierge company is hired by elite runner Abby Stillwell to organize the Wicked Mad Dash, a competition that takes place in the Enchanted Village, Darcy is more than willing to help her friend. As blizzard conditions rage on the morning of the race, Darcy’s main concern is the terrible weather—until Abby goes missing. . .and is later found dead, buried in the snow.
As Darcy investigates her friend’s untimely death, she learns that she didn’t really know Abby well at all. And those closest to the woman—her secret fiancé, her roommate, her ex-boyfriend, and her co-workers at Balefire Sports—seem to have plenty to hide too. As Darcy digs deeper, she uncovers complicated relationships, a possible embezzlement scheme, and allegations of cheating against a top athlete.
Just when Darcy is convinced she’s hit a dead end in the case, a startling burglary and the hunt for Abby’s elusive ex send Darcy down a dark, dangerous trail. It will take the help from friends, family, and a little bit of magic for Darcy to stop a stone-cold killer from striking again.
