Sherri L. Dodd Releases "Moonset on Desert Sands," a Gripping Paranormal Thriller of Magic, Suspense, and Family Betrayal

Arista and her great-aunt Bethie thought fending off a serial killer was terrifying. Now, they must face something even more dreadful – the return of Arista's blood-thirsty uncle!

GILROY, Calif., March 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sherri L. Dodd's MOONSET ON DESERT SANDS releases 03/27/25. Pitched as a Paranormal Thriller with elements of Magick Realism and a pinch of Clean Romance, it is the second book in the Murder, Tea, and Crystals Trilogy. Those familiar with the trilogy know this novel features Arista Kelly and her great-aunt Bethie, both modern-day good witches. Hosting a cast of diverse characters, the story has plenty of suspense and unexpected twists!

With a traumatic year of fending off a serial killer behind her, Arista has settled contentedly into her temporary home with Auntie in Sedona, Arizona. She enjoys her new job selling all things metaphysical and even has her eye on the hot security guard, Dakota, after her recent breakup with Shane.

But a series of new fainting spells has her worried, and when Auntie witnesses one, they decide the answer lies in her home of Boulder Creek. However, returning means not only dealing with her breakup and its heartache but also the possibility of drawing her bloodthirsty Uncle Fergus to her once safe haven in the redwoods. And this time he has recruited an even more dangerous alliance.

Arista's closest bonds will be strengthened, but the mounting tension of a death in the desert, a stalker on the streets, and the relentless pursuit of Fergus puts her in dangerous territory, and escaping sorrow proves impossible.

"A suspenseful, emotionally satisfying tale for fans of witches and magic." - 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.
