Cap'n Tricky & the Pirate Parlay

Prepare to walk the plank...

Tricky didn't plan to take over a pirate ship, challenge a king, or recruit a barrel of monkeys to steal breakfast. But sometimes, these things just happen.

Her day is about to take a turn for the worse when a series of hilariously unfortunate events threatens to end the annual pirate parlay and send her on a one-way trip to the plank. It's too bad for her crew, but potentially a career advancement for her.

Cap'n Tricky is a FREE prequel novella to the Pirates Ahoy series. 

If you enjoy exotic locations, eccentric characters, and bewitching stories, then come aboard The Pink Pearl. Join the crew for a spellbinding voyage as they sail around the African continent and into murder, mayhem, and other misadventures.

Storm Wavily & the Pirate King

Be witched on a pirate ship.

Storm Puddlewick of the Wavily Witch Clan didn’t mean to stow away on a pirate ship, and she certainly didn’t intend to steal a talking cat. However, it’s too late for regrets when the crew of The Pink Pearl capture her and take her to Treasure Island.

It’s the fifty-seventh pirate parlay, and the current Pirate King is determined to keep his throne. But when someone breaks the peace pact, a murder throws the event into disarray. With his reputation on the line, the king orders Storm to solve the murder, or walk the plank.

Armed with a chicken egg, a snobby cat and a few spells, Storm will need all her wits to solve the murder in time to help the king and save the peace. But with the stakes so high, it’s only a matter of time before the murderer comes after her.

Storm Wavily and the Pirate King is the first case in the Pirates Ahoy Cozy Mystery series.

★★★★★ “I was sucked right in, which in my opinion is the best review I can give. This is the backstory of Evian’s grandmother, who appears to be unreasonable to Evian (in Wavily Witches). But behind every grownup, there is a young person. This is young Storm Wavily’s story, and it is every bit as entertaining and well written as the other books by this author!” — Cleargrace

★★★★★ “I have been a fan of Vered Ehsani for a long time now and her books keep getting better and better. I can’t wait to read the next installment of Storm Wavily.” — Kathleen

★★★★★ “Storm Wavily’s early days when she was a pirate is full of adventure and a mystery. Now we know where her granddaughter Evian gets her mettle and her affinity for self-important familiars with insatiable hunger. Quirky characters, danger, and fun on the high seas. Highly recommended.” – CJ

★★★★★ “I have read Vered Ehsani’s books for a number of years, and have a special like for her mellow blend of magic, mystery, and life. I enjoyed reading about Storm’s granddaughter and this new series giving Storm’s backstory promises to be rich in its’ own right. This new work, as usual, is well written and holds interest. If you like cozies, mystery, murder, and magic- BUY THIS BOOK! You’ll find yourself with an enjoyable author.” — E. & J. Roberts

Storm Wavily & the Sea Lord

Get a wave from it all.

Miss Storm of the Wavily Witch Clan is settling into her new life as a pirate. All’s going as well as can be expected until The Pink Pearl and its crew encounter a cyclone that threatens to destroy them. The safety provided by a nearby harbor proves temporary when Storm and her fellow pirates are caught up in a murder investigation.

Trapped inside a palace with a pirate-hunting admiral, a long list of suspects, and an ambitious murderer, Storm has to take up the role of amateur sleuth once again. But politics are complicated, clues are scarce, the palace is huge, and — as the talking cat reminds her — it’s a dark and stormy night.

Armed with a hatched egg, a hungry cat and a few spells, Storm sets out to solve the murder without getting arrested. Can she catch the culprit before disaster and Pooky’s hunger pangs strike again?

Storm Wavily and the Sea Lord is the second case in the Pirates Ahoy Cozy Mystery series.

★★★★★ “More dangers to avoid, mysteries to solve, and fun to be had, for Storm, Pooky, and a new arrival. The plot thickens for Storm’s life on the run, as well. Another great adventure, on and off the high seas. Highly recommended.” — CJ

★★★★★ “Storm Wavily and the Sea Lord by Vered Ehsani is a delightful read. I love the characters, even the cat, and the story is filled with humorous situations and snarky dialogue. I look forward to reading Storm’s next adventure on the high seas.” — Rural Reader

★★★★★ “Another book about Ms. Storm! I love learning more about characters from other books and this one doesn’t disappoint. Once again Storm is caught between a rock and a hard place! (Where DID that phrase ever come from?!!!)” — Sierraflower

★★★★★ “If you don’t subscribe to Vered’s newsletter you are missing out. She has great stories, beyond her books, about her life and travels. All her books are awesome, this one didn’t disappoint.” — Linda B

Storm Wavily & the Lost Treasure

Seas the day.

A pirate’s life isn’t always easy, but it has its perks. Being chased by Queen Victoria’s Royal Navy isn’t one of them.

Having barely escaped a watery fate, Miss Storm and her fellow pirates are hired to find a ship that wasn’t so lucky. The hunt for the lost treasure takes them around the Cape of Good Hope and into a mystery that proves more dangerous than the Navy’s cannons. What starts as a quick day trip rapidly disintegrates into a series of murders, missing evidence and walking corpses. It’s all fun and games until someone loses a ship. Or a life.

Armed with a baby crocodile, a somewhat faithful cat, and a ghost-summoning spell, Storm sets out to solve the mystery, save her ship, and find the treasure. But where there’s treasure, there are hunters. Will The Pink Pearl’s crew be next on the hunters’ list?

Storm Wavily and the Lost Treasure is the third case in the Pirates Ahoy Cozy Mystery series.

★★★★★ “What a delightful story! I am pleased and amused by Vered Ehsani’s wild imagination and story-telling abilities. This pirates tale is a storybook treasure for adults. There is magic, mayhem, treasure and a sassy cat, not to mention the fireflies. Well written and imaginative!” — Rhonda Holle

★★★★★ “As always, Wow. I am never disappointed, always enthralled. Having heard the tales of Storm Wavily via her granddaughter Evian, I always wondered how much was truth and how much fiction. Yep, here’s the answer. Have fun, I sure did.” — Kathleen

★★★★★ “Love this series! Brings excitement and intrigue, but its not a heavy to read book. Enjoy the characters and situations!” — Sierraflower

★★★★★ “Loved all the excitement and the wow factor of the story. Made me laugh a lot at the witsome remarks made by various characters. The mystery was fantastic and made me try to guess who the person was and I was only right a bit.” — Athena Brown

Storm Wavily & the Ghost Town

That sinking feeling.

Signing The Pink Pearl’s Pirate Codex was supposed to be water witch Storm’s ticket to freedom. But that was before discovering her ex-fiancé’s spell book on board the ship. 

Before she can solve that pesky mystery, Santa hires the crew to transport one of his elves to East Africa. The mission: collect a valuable artifact from the ruins of Gedi. The problem: Gedi’s haunted. Something — or someone — really doesn’t like strangers, and there’s nothing stranger than Storm and her fellow pirates. People start disappearing faster than the cream in her cat’s bowl.

Armed with a growing crocodile, a divinely inspired cat (or so he says), and a healthy dash of skepticism, Storm is determined to stop the body-snatching ghosts. Can she figure out an exorcism spell before they come after her crew?

Storm Wavily and the Ghost Town is the fourth case in the Pirates Ahoy Cozy Mystery series.

★★★★★ “I am enjoying the funny and witty series and this one was no exception. Storm Wavily is one unique character that stands up to the challenges given to her even though at times she is not sure of herself.” — Athena Brown

★★★★★ “As Storm’s misadventures continue, what begins as a simple job turns into anything but simple. Oh, and did I mention the creepy and dangerous jungle, the strange natives and the sand that keeps getting under Pooky’s claws. All of which combine to make for a rollicking and entertaining belly-laugh read by Vered Ehsani.” — Rural Reader

★★★★★ “Vered Ersani has written another great pirate witch adventure. Captain Trickys crew must do the impossible again. And they have only one day.” — slpsharon

★★★★★ “Wow, these just get better and better! Ms. Ehsani knows how to keep us hooked. In this one the crew is asked to get an artifact for Santa. Problem is the Elf that was sent doesn’t quite know the what or how of it!” — Sierraflower

Storm Wavily & the Secret Society

Cruising for trouble.

Victorian water witch and pirate-in-training Storm is used to all manner of inconveniences, from bloodsucking fireflies to boat-breaking waves. But running out of tealeaves is unacceptable. When the crew of The Pink Pearl are given beach leave, Storm heads for Mombasa’s market to stock up on that essential commodity.

However, all plans for a well-deserved shopping trip are thrown into disarray when a dragon attacks the town, an Elf is accidentally abducted, and a stranger asks for help. It’s all hands on deck to find the kidnappers, steal back an artifact, and replenish the tea stash. But appearances are deceiving, and Storm’s past and future are about to collide.

Armed with a wicked glare, a cunning cat and a crew of pirates, Storm faces her greatest challenge and her most dangerous mystery yet. Will they solve the case before the next high tide washes away all clues?

Storm Wavily and the Secret Society is the fifth case in the Pirates Ahoy Cozy Mystery series.

★★★★★ “This book has soo many twists and turns (and I don’t mean in the streets of the city) that I had no idea where it was going to end. From beginning to end the author gave us a story that is unforgettable. Thank you for all the adventures and I can’t wait to read the next tale from Vered Ehsani.” — Kathleen

★★★★★ “This hilarious fictitious episode to the series stands alone. However, to really enjoy it, I recommend that you read the previous books. Also, there are some interesting historical facts that Vered Eshani has expertly woven into the story, along with some strange and surprising cultural myths of the indigenous people of the location that’s featured. I can’t wait for Storm’s next adventure.” — Rural Reader

★★★★★ “Well, evidently the last book in the series. I hope not, but we can continue along with the Wavily Witch books where we meet Storm’s Granddaughter. Hopefully, we’ll have some books on Storm’s daughter and what happened. Hint Hint!” — Sierraflower
