Book excerpt: The Miss Primm’s Academy for Wayward Witches boxed set includes all three books in the trilogy: MISSPELLED One last chance to control her magic…or she’s banished to a world without it. Eighteen-year-old Callie and her magic aren’t exactly on speaking terms. Translation: She has control issues. She has only three years at Miss Primm’s Academy of Wayward Witches to whip her unruly magic into shape. Or DOME (the Department of Magical Exile) will banish her to Mundania. A world without magic. Callie quickly learns that pop quizzes are killer. And the professor seems have it in for her. Then there’s Lochlan, a boy at Master Marco’s School for Woeful Wizards. If Callie can survive her first year, maybe they can do more than just dream about the future…. DISPELLED One year down, two to go…unless Callie’s search for justice gets her expelled. The pressure is on as Callie Dobkins begins her second year at Miss Primm’s Academy for Wayward Witches. Not only does she have the same stern-faced Spells professor, her older sister is planning her wedding around Callie’s graduation date. Which means if she fails, she’ll not only be banished, she’ll break her sister’s heart. Worse, Callie is suspicious one girl in her class is cheating. Snooping for evidence only succeeds in getting Callie grounded. And even her handsome boyfriend, Lochlan, is urging her to back off. Because if she’s caught, she’ll be expelled and exiled to Mundania. EXPELLED She’s just gotten control of her wild magic. Now she’ll have to set it free… Miss Primm, headmistress of the Academy, has gone missing. And has Master Marco of the School for Woeful Wizards. Callie and her friends speculate, but Callie alone can’t shut out the inner voice warning her to keep quiet about her suspicions. In a horrible moment, the conniving Mr. McGee exiles Callie to Mundania, where she will have to draw on all her wild magic to find her way home to her family. To her boyfriend, Lochlan. And to the circle of friends who will try to root out the corruption at the Academy once and for all.

Book excerpt: It’s the murder investigation of Selena’s life…but this time she’s flying blind. Selena’s pregnancy is progressing without a hitch. Well, just one. Her aura-reading gift has disappeared. She’s not thrilled, but her in-laws assure her it’s simply a side effect of marrying into Calvin Standingbear’s shifter tribe. As soon as the baby is born, all will be well. Probably. Hopefully. Luckily, Selena doesn’t need her odd little gift when she hires the perfect shop assistant off Craigslist in preparation for her upcoming maternity leave. So she puts that worry out of her mind — only to have it quickly replaced by another. Her friend Archie has been receiving blackmail letters from someone who hints they know about his secret past as a cursed cat. Unfortunately, it’s pretty hard to brush it off as just a jealous dance competitor when Archie's fiancée Victoria finds the blackmailer sprawled dead on her studio floor. This puts quite a damper on their upcoming wedding…especially when Victoria is arrested for murder. Without her aura-reading gift, Selena can only reach out to the spirit world with her Tarot and her pendulums. With a blind spot like that, there’s plenty of opportunity for the real murderer to go free. Or get too close….

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlocking her family secrets could be a double-edged sword… Magic isn’t one size fits all. Every family has its own unique brand, so it helps to know your family history. Mine? It’s pretty much a blank, so predicting what my lodestone gift will do next is a not-so-fun game. Case in point: On the heels of learning that both my ex-husband and a previously unknown half-brother died the exact same way, a gorgeous silver and turquoise necklace lands in my life. A necklace that fairly vibrates with power when I touch it. Coincidence? I don’t think so. The message? Clear as mud. Isaac Zamora, male witch and ultimate slow-burn romantic, thinks I should sleep on it. I mean, literally. I’d rather he was the one sharing my bed, but until I figure things out, following his lead is probably the better idea.

Isaac Zamora, the hunky male witch who’s crash-coursing me in my newly discovered magic, makes me long for something I haven’t wanted since I left my cheating ex. So what if Isaac wants to take things at a glacial pace? He’s worth waiting for. When I pick up an old compass with a wildly confused needle, I don’t question the tingle that zings up my arm. I take it straight to Isaac. The compass doesn’t give up its secrets easily, but it does point the way toward a mystery doubled-edged with danger. Because right about the time the compass appears in my life, so does my ex. Are you smelling a rat? So am I. Especially when he’s smelling up my living room, dead as a doornail.

She’s a “familiar whisperer” — someone who can communicate with other witches’ troubled familiars and resolve their problems. When Darla Fitzgerald, an influential but abrasive witch, brings in her familiar, Milo, Charity runs into a barrier she’s never before encountered. The spaniel isn’t talking. At all. And when a potion to reveal Milo’s thoughts doesn’t work, Charity calls Darla to get more information...only to learn the woman has been found dead. But that’s not the weird part. Though familiars always pass with their witches, Milo is hale and hearty. After something — or someone — attacks the dog, Charity desperately calls local vet (and secret crush) Noah Jenkins for help.
