W. L. Hawkin writes romantic adventures, often charged with “myth, magic, and mayhem” from her home in the Pacific Northwest.
Her Hollystone Mysteries series features a coven of West Coast witches who solve murders using ritual magic and a little help from the gods. The books—To Charm a Killer, To Sleep with Stones, To Render a Raven, and To Kill a King—follow Estrada, a flawed magician and coven high priest as he endeavors to save his family and friends while sorting through his own personal issues.
Her latest release, Lure: Jesse & Hawk is small-town romantic suspense set in the American Midwest, in the fictional town of Lure River.
Hawkin graduated from Trent University with a BA in Indigenous Studies. Wendy went on to study English literature at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, and then teach high school. She found her voice publishing poetry and Native Rights articles in Canadian news magazines and is now an author/publisher at Blue Haven Press.
For the past few years, Wendy has been a book reviewer for the Ottawa Review of Books. A member of the Federation of BC Writers and the Writers Union of Canada, she actively engages with readers and writers at conferences, and is represented by Creative Edge Publicity.
As an intuitive writer, Wendy captures on the page what she sees (visual scenes) and hears (conversations) and allows her muses to guide her through the creative process. She needs to feel the energy of the land, so although she’s an introvert, in each book her characters go on a journey where she’s traveled herself. If you don’t find her at Blue Haven Press, she’s likely wandering the woods with her beautiful yellow dog.

Hollystone Mysteries
|
"Estrada flexed his bicep and stared at his latest tattoo. Corvus Corax. The raven's back broke into a flurry of feathers and deranged birds to remind him how he'd split the terror asunder with the force of his right arm. He could still feel the damp steel, the hot blood, the hollow pit of his pulsing gut as he struck. The creature held a bloody rose in its beak so he'd never forget how close he'd come . . ."
Estrada is High Priest of Hollystone Coven, a shaman and magician. But is he a match for a vengeful vampire? When Diego steals his daughter from her crib on the eve of her first birthday, the Hollystone witches converge. The same night, a woman is murdered and another abducted. All three scenes are marked by roses that point to Michael Stryker, Estrada's lover and best friend—a man with a strange dark "virus" brewing inside him. As the witches journey up the Pacific coast, emotions run raw as the close confines of a yacht heighten the tension between his jealous lovers. And then they meet the ravens . . . Diego wants blood. Estrada wants his baby back. What will the high priest sacrifice to bring his daughter home? #LGBTQ
A SEXY HITCHCOCKIAN THRILLER THAT DEMYSTIFIES VAMPIRE AND ILLUSTRATES THE POWER OF LOVE.
"True Blood meets Outlander. Hawkin's tight and well-paced writing, knowledge of Celtic myths combined with multi-layered characters, lush language, and plot twists and turns, draw the reader in. No spoiler alert - the ending is surprising and satisfying. In fact, the hallmark of this novel is the author's seamless interweaving of myth and reality. She appeals to our intellect and our desire for vicarious adventure." —Blank Spaces, Ottawa Review of Books.
"Harrowing, engaging, and captivating. A must-read contemporary romance and fantasy novel … The intensity and passion the characters hold onto one another and the elevated danger that that intensity brings to the narrative were an instant draw for readers, and the heartbreaking twists and turns will have readers hanging off of the author's every word until the climactic final chapter." —Anthony Avina
"The true draw of this novel for me, and this is probably true of the whole series, is the intricate psychology of the characters, who are complex, nuanced, sympathetic, and occasionally, deeply irritating — a sign of just how invested I've become, and how well drawn their inner lives, as well as outer adventures, really are. Highly recommended read." —Juniper Greer-Ashe
