A Novel Theft
(2026)(Book 11 in the Quillhaven Paranormal Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Tessa Silver
What happens when a writer's greatest fear comes true?
As Ellie Fitzgerald arrives in the charming town of Quillhaven, she’s hoping for a quiet reset after a painful breakup. Helping her uncle Martin run his beloved bookshop, Chapter & Chime, seems like the perfect place to begin again. The shop is warm, welcoming, and filled with stories waiting to be discovered. Even the local cats—Leo and Luna—have opinions about what people should read.
But Quillhaven isn’t an ordinary town. Magic lingers in its streets. Cats can talk. And stories have a way of taking on lives of their own.
When a visiting author comes to town for a special reading, excitement fills the bookshop. Yet beneath the celebration, something unsettling begins to stir. Martin has been secretly working on a novel of his own—one he’s not ready to share with the world.
Then someone steals it. For a writer, it’s the ultimate nightmare.
As Ellie begins asking questions, she discovers that Quillhaven’s cozy streets may be hiding more secrets than she imagined. A charming computer technician appears at exactly the wrong time. A famous author seems a little too interested in Martin’s manuscript. And the magical cats sense that something about the whole situation feels deeply wrong.
With help from a kindhearted woodworker, a loyal community of book lovers, and two sharp-eyed feline sleuths, Ellie must uncover who took the manuscript—and why.
Because in Quillhaven, stories matter. And if Ellie can’t unravel the mystery quickly, her uncle may lose more than his dream of becoming a writer.
He might lose his story forever.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
