      <image:title>Blog - Meet the Willow Creek Coven: Vivienne “Vi” - Vivienne “Vi” Gearhart</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hi, I’m Vivienne, but everyone calls me Vi. I’m new to Willow Creek. A Georgia native, I moved to Willow Creek, Virginia, a few months ago looking for answers to a family secret. I was raised by my grandfather, who passed away when I was 13. He used to talk about his sister, my great-aunt Cassie, who went to Willow Creek and then, well, vanished. Literally. In a way that probably involved magic (if you want the whole story, you’ll have to ask Aunt Cassie, though). When I came to Willow Creek, I found Cassie—and my coven! A fire witch by birth, I immediately felt right at home with my fellow witches in this charming little mountain town. A few things to know about me: I read tarot cards. I make my own tea blends. I work at the Piper Street Co-Op and live in a funky little apartment above the co-op, which I’ve decorated with thrift-store finds and more crystals than I can count. I read—a lot. The only people I know who love to read and learn more than I do are my boyfriend, fox shifter Aiden; and my best friend, Bailee, who’s also the town librarian. Oh, and I have a cat who’s also my familiar, a tortoiseshell named Rosemary Caterwaul Broomsticks who found me (pretty sure it wasn’t the other way around) shortly after my arrival in Willow Creek. I can be shy and guarded at times, but I’m fiercely loyal to the ones I love and would do anything to protect them—even if it means traveling to another world (okay, maybe I’ve been there, done that).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - New Release: Tangled Souls - A curse took him away. Magic brought him back… I’m Bailee Dugan, and I’m a professional bookworm. Literally. I’m the local librarian in Willow Creek, Virginia. I’m also a witch. One year ago, a spell stole my entire coven, including Evan Felson, a charming, devil-may-care musician and fellow witch with whom I’ve been secretly in love since forever. Last summer, we came so close to a night of passion—but dark magic stole him before we could finish what we started. Now, Evan has returned to Willow Creek, determined to set things right. But when your half-fae father is determined to destroy your coven and drain every last drop of magic, setting things right isn’t exactly child’s play. Could the answer to our problems lie in the pages of a book? Or could a doorway to another realm hold the key? And can Evan and I find a way to finish what we started last summer? The saga of the Willow Creek Witches continues in Bailee and Evan’s story, full of faerie magic, mystical romance, and otherworldly travel.</image:title>

As the only human in a secret society of vampires and werewolves prophesied to rule both races, Reina has more than her fair share of pressure. Add her growing supernatural abilities, a stalker murderer able to cloak her scent, two rival vampires training while competing for her heart, and even the Queen enlisting her aid, it's just another typical day in Le Couvènte. The perfect recipe for murder, mystery, romance, and suspense set against the decadent Redwoods and wine-soaked backdrop of Northern California.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Adam Degore’s personal need to find a cure for vampirism drives him to ensnare a vampire, but the creature he captures is Dracula’s daughter. Worse yet, he’s drawn to her—a monster he’s vowed to kill. Despite her father’s wishes, Willow chooses to live among humans instead of the vampire conclave where she would be safe. She wants a life filled with more than shadows. Being captured by a human, not to mention falling in love with one, is not part of her plan. With vampires and blood hunters closing in on their chosen prey, Adam and Willow need to trust one another. But will that trust come in time for them to survive and find a future together?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - OCTOBER VAMPIRE ROMANCE MONTH: A QUICK BITE WITH PATRICIA JOSEPHINE - Meet Patricia Josephine Patricia is the author of New Adult Paranormal, Fantasy, and Sci-Fi books. She actually never set out to become a writer, and in fact, she was more interested in art and band in high school and college. On a whim, she wrote down a story bouncing in her head and began learning all she could about writing. That was the start of it, and she hasn’t regretted a moment. When she’s not writing, she’s watching Doctor Who or reading about serial killers. She’s an avid knitter. One can never have too much yarn. She writes Young Adult Paranormal, Fantasy and Sci-Fi Romance under the name Patricia Lynne. Patricia lives with her husband in Michigan, hopes one day to have what will resemble a small petting zoo, and has a fondness for dying her hair the colors of the rainbow.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 WITCHY READS FOR FALL - About this Book: With three-quarters of a million books sold, Sarra Cannon begins a new “witchy” tale with twists you’ll love… After the tragic death of her parents, seventeen-year-old witch, Lenora “Lenny” Thorne, is sure life will never be good again. It’s bad enough when The Witch’s Council sends her to live with her ancient Great-Uncle Martin, a man she hardly knows, but they also expect her to attend the local human high school and pretend to be a normal person. To her surprise, though, Martin is actually amazing, and her first day at Newcastle High is better than she could have imagined. Maybe there’s a future for her here, after all. But when one of her new friends goes missing, Lenny is pulled into an investigation that even The Council won’t touch. She’s in way over her head, but the lives of five local teens are on the line. She refuses to just let them die. With the help of a handsome and mysterious new ally named Kai, Lenny vows to find the girls and bring the demon who kidnapped them to justice. Will she save her friend in time, or will she be the demon’s next target?</image:title>

This teen telenovela actress doesn’t have time for magic, yet magic finds a way into her life.

She soon finds out that Victor has a few secrets of his own… Although her instincts tell her to run from magic, magic might be the only way she can save her dying aunt. She unwittingly brings magic back to all witches in Belle Fleur, including Thane, an ancient evil witch who wants Juliette’s power and soul. A hot new mysterious guy comes to town and turns up the heat as Juliette sinks deeper and deeper into the new world of magic.

      <image:title>Blog - 10 WITCHY READS FOR FALL - About this book: I thought magic was make believe…but I was way wrong. I was nobody. No matter how hard I tried, I never fit in with anyone at my high school. Now I know why. Turns out I’m a witch. A scary powerful one, too. Except The Coven that claimed me won’t teach me how to use my magic. Suddenly, I’m selected by the Goddess to hunt down a mythical locket needed to save the world from destruction. The only person who actually tries to help me is the alarmingly attractive Tennessee. He has immeasurable power and breathtaking mismatched eyes. I’m drawn to him on a level I can’t explain…and he’s forbidden from getting too close to me. When the quest takes an unexpected dangerous turn, I have to improvise. This supernatural world is unraveling at my fingertips and I need to master my magic fast. If I don’t, I could get everyone I care about killed…</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 WITCHY READS FOR FALL - About this book: Come to Night Meadow Island, where love is flowing, sisters rule and magic is real. When Corinne Knight wakes up with amnesia, she doesn’t know how to use the magic her family claims she has. Considering she and her twin run a magical baked goods business, the fact that she can’t remember how to spell the recipes is bothersome. But that’s not her biggest frustration; her attraction to Noah Wilson is. Because even though he seems open to a relationship, Corinne senses something in their past has kept them apart, and she’s afraid it’s so big she’ll regret letting him into her heart again. Noah Wilson isn’t sure what the Knight women are thinking when they push Corinne at him knowing she can’t remember their tumultuous relationship that crashed and burned. He knows going along with their plan to minimize the problems he and Corinne had is like making a deal with the devil, but he can’t help hoping that it’s a chance for the woman he’s always loved to realize her true feelings too… Before her memory comes back to ruin it all.</image:title>

When the Olympian Comet shoots through the sky for the first time in three thousand years, Nicole and four others — including mysterious bad-boy Blake — are gifted with elemental powers.

My name is Clementine and my magic is making me lose sleep. My two sisters and I have forty-eight hours to find someone our talented mother could not. If we don’t succeed, someone will die.  My magic allows me to see memories the dead leave behind–which forces me to relive the moment my mother was attacked by fae.  I must tell my sisters what I’ve seen, because I know what we need to do.  Except I’m afraid they’re done with my “leap now, look later” escapades. They’ve had my back for over twenty years.

When she moves in with her long lost aunt and cousins, they look like a relatively normal family from the outside, however they turn out to be so much more. When ancient traditions, longstanding magickal feuds, ghostly visitors, and Witches with malicious intentions start coming out of the woodwork, Autumn finds herself smack in the middle of the action as everything she thought she knew is turned upside down. Drawn, as if by fate, into her family’s legacy of magick, a new world unfolds for her, as her old one is left irretrievably behind.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 WITCHY READS FOR FALL - About this book: Everybody thinks Cate Cahill and her sisters are eccentric. Too pretty, too reclusive, and far too educated for their own good. But the truth is even worse: they’re witches. And if their secret is discovered by the priests of the Brotherhood, it would mean an asylum, a prison ship–or an early grave. Then Cate finds her mother’s diary, and uncovers a secret that could spell her family’s destruction. Desperate to find alternatives to their fate, Cate starts scouring banned books and questioning rebellious new friends, all while juggling tea parties, shocking marriage proposals, and a forbidden romance with the completely unsuitable Finn Belastra. But if what her mother wrote is true, the Cahill girls aren’t safe–not even from each other.</image:title>

Be still. Listen. There is quiet magic everywhere. Out of the stillness of that moment, magic rose, like a blossom in the spring, a raindrop of thirsty earth.

      <image:caption>I showed up on his doorstep. At midnight. Missing 45 years’ worth of time. I’m Cassie Gearhart, and the last thing I remember, I cast a spell in 1974. Then, I woke up on a rainy July night to find it was 2019. And the entire Willow Creek Coven—my coven—was gone. Well, there is one witch left in Willow Creek, Virginia: Nick Felson, the grandson of my high priestess, a brooding farm boy with magic in his blood and a chip on his shoulder. Every time we get too close, love—the most powerful of magicks—draws us together. The passion? It threatens to be our undoing. There’s a whole host of other problems, though. For one, Nick wants nothing to do with magic—and therefore, with me, a witch lost in time. For another, the sinister magic that took the coven? It’s not finished with us. It’s barely getting started. Don’t miss the first book in the Tangled Magic Series, perfect for fans of the witchy magic of Charmed and for anyone seeking paranormal romance with a small-town setting!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Key Messages: Let your intuition be your guide. You have within you all the knowledge and wisdom needed to walk the path ahead. Quotes to Invoke the High Priestess’s Power: “We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.”—Jane Austen “If you let it, the noise of the world will drown out the voice of God, which is your intuition.” – Oprah Winfrey “To me, a witch is a woman that is capable of letting her intuition take hold of her actions, that communes with her environment, that isn’t afraid of facing challenges.” – Paulo Coelho To Connect with Your Inner High Priestess: Find a quiet space where you can ground yourself. Step into the wild, sacred forest of your soul, where the High Priestess awaits. She is within you. She is you. Gaze into the crystalline pool in the wild wood. What do you see?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Tarot Spread for Decluttering - Sit in a quiet, comfortable spot. I recommend having a journal and a cup of tea or water nearby. Take a few cleansing breaths. If you need to, shuffle or otherwise cleanse your tarot deck. Breathe in. You’ll draw six cards, three on the top row, three on the bottom. Ask each question, draw a card, repeat. I don’t usually analyze a card until after I’ve completed asking all the questions in the spread, but I’ve learned not to question other people’s magical processes, so follow your intuition.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Tarot Card Meaning: The Magician - The Magician</image:title>
      <image:caption>Key Messages: Independence, venturing off in a new direction, questioning the status quo, choosing authenticity over conformity. Quotes to Invoke the Magician’s Power: “We are still masters of our fate. We are still captains of our souls.”—Winston Churchill “Nothing has transformed my life more than realizing that it’s a waste of time to evaluate my worthiness by weighing the reaction of the people in the stands.”—Brene Brown “Your path is yours alone. And if it’s the path less traveled, that’s absolutely fine. The world doesn’t need more conformists. The world needs more people who create and question and search.”—Laird Hamilton To Connect with the Magician: Open your journal to a blank page and answer these questions. Write for five minutes without stopping, simply letting the words flow. What do I want to do that I’m not doing? What’s stopping me? What are my unique gifts that I bring to the world? Am I utilizing those to the fullest? If not, how can I?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Tarot Card Meanings: The Fool - The Fool (0—Major Arcana)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Key Message: Simply this: Begin. Quotes to Invoke the Power of the Fool: “You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.” —Mary Pickford “No matter how hard the past is, you can always begin again.”—Buddha “The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.”—Steve Jobs Connecting with the Energy of the Fool: The more road there is behind us, the harder it is to take risks. The Fool doesn’t share this fear. What have you been putting off out of fear, overwhelmed by beginning a new chapter, a new project, a new stage of your journey? List five steps you can take toward that new beginning. And then, simply begin.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Here I am. Stepping into the arena. Going boldly in the direction of my dreams. Ready to be my fierce, authentic self. Knowing I’ll make mistakes. Determined to learn from them.

      <image:title>Book List - My name is Moira, and I was born cursed by the moon.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Now, about to be married off to a cruel man by my stepmother, I'm faced with a choice: marry him and risk being his next victim, or flee into the forest, the one place I was always told the moon-cursed should never go. What awaits is a world full of magic, moonlight, and wildness. And, of course, there's a man with hair as black as a raven's wing and eyes as blue as a winter sky. Equal parts fairy tale and sweet romance, Fractured Moonlight promises an escape to another world, a forbidden forest where sleeping magic awakens and anything is possible.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Her entire life, magic was forbidden. Until Cassie Gearhart came to Willow Creek, a small town in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains—a town filled with magic, a place where she could practice magic freely. That freedom comes to an abrupt end when a spell gone wrong traps Cassie’s spirit in an oak tree, only to awaken her nearly half a century in the future—in present-day Willow Creek. The coven of free-spirited witches Cassie remembers is gone—replaced with one remaining witch, a brooding, sexy farmer whose mere presence fills Cassie with a passion she’s never known. Nick Felson, the last remaining witch in Willow Creek, wants nothing to do with Cassie. Or with magic. But fate might just have other plans.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A curse took the man she loved away. Magic brought him back… I’m Bailee Dugan, and I’m a professional bookworm. Literally. I’m the local librarian in Willow Creek, Virginia. I’m also a witch. One year ago, a spell stole my entire coven, including Evan Felson, a charming, devil-may-care musician and fellow witch with whom I’ve been secretly in love since forever. Last summer, we came so close to a night of passion—but dark magic stole him before we could finish what we started. Now, Evan has returned to Willow Creek, determined to set things right. But when your half-fae father is determined to destroy your coven and drain every last drop of magic, setting things right isn’t exactly child’s play.</image:caption>

Sent from Ireland to a small town nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Siobhan goes undercover as a witch to help. No one in the coven can know the truth—that Siobhan is a full-blooded faerie. Masquerading as a witch, her job is to gain the coven’s trust in order to stop a deadly faerie who’s determined to harness a powerful magic for himself. But when Siobhan meets Weir Delaney, a witch and puma shifter, the mission goes seriously sideways. Can she trust the tall, dark, and wickedly handsome Weir with her secret? Can she help him save his sister and the rest of the coven in time to defeat the enemy and ensure the magic of Willow Creek stays safe? And can she do all of those things without losing her stone-cold heart in the process?</image:caption>

One year ago, they inherited a mystical tea business and a quirky old farmhouse from their great-aunt. They've settled into a life tending their gardens and selling their tea blends in the town of Foster Springs, Virginia. Until a close encounter with the fae changes everything. Now, Lily lies in an endless sleep courtesy of the fae. And Daisy's only hope of breaking the spell is to sneak onto the grounds of wealthy recluse Rhett Fairshadow on May Day (Beltane) night in search of a cure. Rhett Fairshadow sees himself as a guardian, protecting humans from the fae who inhabit his land. And if that means everyone in town sees him as a grouchy eccentric? So be it. Until he catches Daisy McAllister sneaking onto his land on a night when fae magic is especially dangerous. He's determined to keep her safe. She has other plans. And when the enchanting gardener-slash-tea specialist shows she's not afraid of his gruff attitude? Well, then he knows he's met his match.

      <image:title>Faerie Spells Series - The Faerie Key</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sometimes dreams come true. And then, sometimes, they turn into nightmares… When Lily McAllister inherited a quirky old farmhouse with sprawling gardens and a mystical tea business to match from an eccentric relative, she thought all her dreams had come true. But her dream home comes with a serious catch: it’s surrounded by forests teaming with nasty, unpleasant, and downright dangerous fae. Drastic times call for drastic measures, right? That’s what Lily thinks when she casts a protection spell around the farmhouse. Except that the spell doesn’t exactly work as planned: instead of the magical forcefield Lily imagined, her spell instead summons a house-elf to her front door. Neer, her new house-elf, is six-foot-something and drop-dead gorgeous—a tall, dark, and brooding fae man who’s mystically bound to protect Lily. Except that Neer comes with some baggage of his own. Sparks of attraction? Definitely. But before the night is over, Lily and Neer will have to confront the ghosts of their pasts—and just hope that they both survive in one piece. Note: The Faerie Key is a short novelette of approximately 15,000 words. It’s a sweet romance with fairy tale elements, hints of magic, and a handsome house-elf who might just feature in your dreams.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Faerie Spells Series - The Midnight Path</image:title>
      <image:caption>When sisters Daisy and Lily McAllister inherited a turn-of-the-century and a mystical tea business from a quirky great-aunt, they didn’t know faerie curses were part of the bargain… Newly married to Rhett Fairshadow—a human man with a touch of faerie magic in his blood—Daisy McAllister feels certain she now knows the rules of dealing with the fae. Don’t enter the forest. Don’t mess with the fae. You know—don’t, under any circumstances, deal with the fae. Period. Unfortunately for Daisy and Rhett, it’s not that simple. It turns out the faerie queen may have already sunk her claws into Daisy and Rhett’s future. Now, it’s up to the couple to negotiate their way out—or risk having the faerie queen run roughshod over the rest of their lives. As the clock strikes midnight and an autumn moon rises, the newlyweds find the honeymoon is over. The faerie queen of the forest has a gift for the happy couple. Okay, not a gift. A demand. And as anyone knows, one does not trifle with the fae. The Midnight Path, a short story of 15,000 words, promises sweet romance, dark magicks, and positively wicked faeries. Perfect for readers who enjoy the works of Jennifer Armentrout, Maggie Stiefvater, and Sarah Maas, or anyone who loved Once Upon a Time. These sweet/clean fairytale romances are written for an adult audience who never stopped believing in faeries. NOTE: There is a time gap between the first two books in the series and The Midnight Path of about six months. Don’t worry, you haven’t missed anything!</image:caption>
