GILROY, Calif., Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- HUMMINGBIRD MOONRISE – The ghost in Arista Kelly's house remembers what the living have long forgotten. As Arista's world teeters between the mystical and mundane, she and her great-aunt Bethie search for a missing woman and uncover a family curse hidden in time. Now, Arista must take action to rewrite her destiny ... or surrender to the fate her ancestors instigated long ago.

Sherri L. Dodd's HUMMINGBIRD MOONRISE releases 10/09/25. Pitched as a Paranormal Fantasy with murderous Suspense and a witchy Romance, it is the final book in the Murder, Tea, and Crystals Trilogy, known for its diverse characters, mystical esthetic, and unexpected twists!

The past two years have taken their toll on Arista Kelly. Once an eternal optimist, now she has faced the darkness and must recalibrate what true happiness means for her. Meanwhile, Shane, her ex-boyfriend, is pulling all the right moves to help keep her sane from her heightening paranoia. But it doesn't help that Iris, her Great-Aunt Bethie's friend, has disappeared.

Still, one additional trial remains. While searching for Iris, Bethie and Arista stumble upon a grand revelation in the eccentric woman's home. With the discovery, they realize their run of chaos and loss of kin may have roots in a curse that dates back to the 1940s—the time when their family patriarch first built Arista's cottage in the redwoods and crafted his insightful Ouija table.

This pursuit will not follow their accustomed recipe of adrenalized action, but the high stakes remain. Will the mysterious slow burn of unfolding events finally level Arista's entire world or be fully extinguished, once and for all?

"A nuanced, multifaceted yarn with magical machinations and real-world concerns."                                                                                                                                                                                               Kirkus Reviews

Sherri was raised in southeast Texas. Walking barefoot most days and catching crawdads as they swam the creek beds, she had a love for all things free and natural. Her childhood ran rampant with talk of ghosts, demons, and backcountry folklore. This inspired her first story for sale, about a poisonous flower that shot toxins onto children as they smelled it. Her classmate bought it for all the change in his pocket. Shortly thereafter, her mother packed the two of them up and headed to the central coast of California. Since that time, she has worked corporate, married, raised two sons, and now writes full-time creating atmospheric paranormal fiction. Her debut novel – Murder Under Redwood Moon – shot straight to #1 on Amazon, holding firm as a Best Seller in the Occult Supernatural genre.

Books in the Murder, Tea, and Crystals Trilogy are available online at most major booksellers.
