Book excerpt: If only life came with a script. Anna Jeffries has spent the last thirty-two years blending in, content in her worn-out reading chair—her happy corner of the world—spinning romantic scenarios she’s certain reality can’t deliver. After three years of teaching Shakespeare at UC Berkeley, Anna is working toward full tenure. Her life in the classroom means everything and she can’t imagine wanting more… until she does. Dane Sivac is in his second year as the wide receiver coach, and with new talent on the team this year, he’s beginning to think his future may hold a permanent position with Cal—as permanent as any coach can hope for. When his star receiver begins struggling on and off the field, the sports psychologist asks Dane for help. For Dane, emotions are best ignored, but his player’s seemingly uptight Shakespeare professor is driving Dane nuts… until she’s not. Invested in the future of a student athlete they’ve both come to care about, Dane and Anna are forced to work together. The attraction is undeniable, but opposing teams rarely get along. Right as Dane makes the type of romantic gesture Anna has only known in fiction, her career is threatened and she is reminded, playbook or not, she was never good at games.

This book was released on 2023-03-17 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Then with the agility of a cat she sprang on his shoulders, struck him in the side with a broom, and he began to run like a race-horse, carrying her on his shoulders." Nikolai Gogol, Viy The cradle of modern witch short stories began in the first half of the 19th century. This anthology unearths the very best of these stories. Andrew Barger (www.AndrewBarger.com), a leading voice in the Gothic literature space, searched forgotten magazines, newspapers, journals and scholarly articles, to uncover the best witch stories written in the English language over one hundred years after the horrific events of the Salem Witch Trials. They had a lasting effect in both the U.S. and Europe, as these publications reflect from the many authors who penned witch stories in this genre. Andrew even includes in his introduction to the collection, actual text from the Salem Witch Trials. The classic witch stories he has uncovered are unmatched. One is a humorous tale that stands, in the grand Irish tradition of great storytelling, shoulder to shoulder with Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” (1819) and Charles Dickens’s “The Goblins Who Stole a Sexton” (1836), as that rare combination of humor and horror that is so difficult to find. It is published for the first time in over a century and a half. What Andrew calls America's "first great witch short story" is also published for the first time in nearly two hundred years. As readers have come to expect from Andrew, he includes his scholarly touch to the anthology by providing introductions to each story and a foreword titled "Hags! Hags! Hags!" There are also illustrations for each story. Last, Andrew provides a list of stories considered at the end of the anthology. Read these witchcraft classics tonight! Hags! Hags! Hags!

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.

Download or read book Waking the Witch written by Pam Grossman and published by Gallery Books. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the podcast host of The Witch Wave and practicing witch Pam Grossman—who Vulture has dubbed the “Terry Gross of witches”—comes an exploration of the world’s fascination with witches, why they have intrigued us for centuries and why they’re more relevant now than ever. When you think of a witch, what do you picture? Pointy black hat, maybe a broomstick. But witches in various guises have been with us for millennia. In Waking the Witch, Pam Grossman explores the impact of the world’s most magical icon. From the idea of the femme fatale in league with the devil to the bewitching pop culture archetypes in Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Harry Potter; from the spooky ladies in fairy tales to the rise of contemporary witchcraft, witches reflect the power and potential of women. Part cultural analysis, part memoir, Waking the Witch traces the author’s own journey on the path to witchcraft, and how this has helped her find self-empowerment and purpose. It celebrates witches past, present, and future, and reveals the critical role they have played—and will continue to play—in the world as we know it. “Deftly illuminating the past while beckoning us towards the future, Waking the Witch has all the makings of a feminist classic. Wise, relatable, and real, Pam Grossman is the witch we need for our times” (Ami McKay, author of The Witches of New York).

Download or read book Healing Hands written by Christine Pope and published by Dark Valentine Press. This book was released on 2021-02-07 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They team up to find a healer, but the truth could tear them apart. After six quiet months, the Wilcox clan’s witch-finding software finally gets a ping. The article is cloaked in careful, journalistic neutrality, but Laurel Wilcox knows a solid lead when she sees one. Soon Laurel’s headed for Lake Tahoe to hunt for a healer who mysteriously appears when he’s needed, then disappears into the forest. She hopes she won't screw up her first solo mission — and betray her clan’s trust. Which is why it’s the worst possible time to be attracted to a handsome, non-witch civilian. Jason Ludlow’s dual abilities of altering his appearance and hiding his spark of magic from other witch-kind make him ideally suited to hunt for the elusive healer his clan desperately needs. He never expected to meet another witch — a distractingly pretty Wilcox witch — on the same mission. Both hiding their motives behind white lies, Laurel and Jason team up to find the healer…and give in to an attraction that’s both comfortable and sensually intense. But their idyll can’t last. When the truth comes out, they could lose everything…their clans’ trust, their mission, and each other.

Book excerpt: One surge of magical power could free her — or short-circuit her future. Jake Wilcox thought he’d covered their tracks when he hid his love, weather witch Adara Grant, in a remote Wyoming town under the watchful guard of the Northern Arapahoe. He should have listened to his instincts that he was making a horrible mistake. Now Addie’s gone, taken in the dead of night by the very nemesis they thought they’d eluded. Locked away so deep in a government testing facility, it’ll take more than magical luck to find her, much less get her out alive. Addie is living her worst nightmare, and feeling every one of the three thousand miles between her and Jake. The temptation to use her wild gift to free herself is strong — but it’s not just her own life at stake. The facility is full of orphaned witches. And one faint signal that could be glimmer of hope — or a sign that luck has run out for Addie, Jake, and everyone they love.
