Book Description
Set in small-town Oregon, the latest in the witty, charming Witch Way Librarian series from Amazon bestselling and acclaimed author Angela M. Sanders features a spellbinding heroine, a clever cat familiar, colorful locals—and of course, murder. The perfect read for fans of Bailey Cates, Adele Abbott, Juliet Blackwell, and all cozy mystery lovers with a taste for the supernatural. Josie is eager to show off Wilfred’s delights to her visiting sister, Jean—even though Josie must conceal her magic from her. In any case, Jean is excited to attend Cookie Masterson’s trademark “Ready-Set-Go!” workshop on becoming a life coach. Then there’s the grand reopening of Darla’s Café, where the doors are thrown open to reveal . . . a dead man, stabbed in the back. That was definitely not on the revamped menu… Even more worrisome, the sheriff receives a report of a fresh corpse at the retreat center. Maybe murder isn’t so uncommon in Wilfred anymore, but two unfamiliar bodies within an hour certainly is! Josie’s willing to let law enforcement take the lead—after all, she’s gotten into some trouble from the hints the library’s spellbound books keep feeding her about the patrons. But when her sister receives the killer’s chilling calling card, she’ll use everything within her otherworldly powers to divine just who in town has homicide as his new slogan . . . Praise for Witch and Famous “Red herrings galore compete with witchy library lore in an often-humorous mystery.” –Kirkus Reviews

Book Description
Finding your feet in a new job isn’t always easy. That goes double for Josie Way, who’s settling in as Wilfred, Oregon’s, new librarian—and has just discovered she’s a witch. But will her fledgling powers be enough to save her from a spell of murder? While Josie develops her witchcraft with the help of letters left by her grandmother, there are other changes happening in her new hometown. A retreat center is being built at the old mill site, and rumor has it that the location is cursed. That piques Josie’s interest almost as much as Sam Wilfred, handsome FBI agent and descendant of the town’s founder . . . When Sam’s soon-to-be ex-wife, Fiona, goes missing at the same time that a bloodied weapon is found, Josie enlists her witchy insight, and her cat familiar, to clear Sam’s name. But then the mill project’s architect is found dead, and it’s clear that someone has been drawing up a vicious plan. Now Josie will have to divine her way out of fatal mischief, before this deadly trouble turns double . . . Praise for Angela M. Sanders’ Bait and Witch “Balances paranormal whimsy and small-town charm . . . it’s a delight to read about someone whose powers derive in part from stories and the feelings that readers attach to them. This is a fine debut that promises more bookish fun to come.” —BookPage

Book Description
2 short, magickal romances from USA Today Bestselling authors, Angelique Armae and Candace Sams. DARK HALLOWS by Angelique Armae: When a scorned witch reconnects with her vampire lover, shadows of the past threaten to tear them apart for eternity… Second chances don’t come around often, but thanks to a wish she made on a shooting star, bookstore owner and witch Majesty Paxton reunites with her former boyfriend. But reengaging with the past resurrects the dark magick that tore them apart five years ago. Can this beauty clear her favorite beast’s good name and reinstate him in the world of the living? Or will the secrets from five years ago overtake them both and destroy Paxton Hollow in the process? Five years ago, vampire Trevor MacDougall walked away from the woman he loved to protect her from Paxton Hollow’s High Council of Witches. Escaping to Scotland, he’s buried himself in work and is now the world’s top bestselling author. When he’s bitten by a bout of writer’s block, Trevor returns to Paxton Hollow hoping to get a glimpse of Majesty to stir his soul back to life. But seeing his former lover awakens more than just his creative nature. It brings out a hunger so strong, he may never be able to escape it. And neither will Majesty. GARDEN STAR by Candace Sams: A jewel is a cold thing until it’s warmed by the heart. Having climbed to the top of the jewelry industry with her naturally inspired designs, Prudence Starlight is having her first exhibit at Foxwood Cottage, in the hinterlands of a magical domain.

As excited as she is for this chance to show her artistic expertise, Pru is mortified that her father is sending along his personal bodyguard. Just to make sure she doesn’t ‘screw up like she always does.’ Balar O’Caellaigh comes from a long line of ancient Celtic warriors. As the current steward and protector of Starlight Estates, his job description has been expanded to not only keeping an eye on Prudence but protecting a rare and priceless gemstone. What starts as a small garden party for elite jewelry aficionados ends with a magical theft that leaves both Pru and Balar with a decision.

Twitch Upon a Star

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 463
Book Description
Based on author Herbie J Pilato’s exclusive interviews with Elizabeth Montgomery prior to her death in 1995, Twitch Upon a Star includes insider material and commentary from several individuals associated with her remarkable life and career before, during, and after Bewitched, including her classic feature films The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell (1955), Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed? (1963), and Johnny Cool (1963). Two of Montgomery’s many popular TV movies, A Case of Rape (which remains one of the highest-rated TV-movies of all time) and The Legend of Lizzie Borden (which will soon be remade as a feature film), were groundbreaking and remain classics. But Twitch Upon a Star also goes behind the scenes to explore Montgomery’s political activism, including her early advocacy for AIDS sufferers and the peace movement; her support for all minorities, including the gay community and the disabled; and her controversial participation as narrator of the1988 feature film documentary Cover-Up and its 1991 Oscar-winning sequel, The Panama Deception (both of which chronicled the Iran/Contra scandal of the 1980s). The book also explores Montgomery's tumultuous relationships with her father, screen legend Robert Montgomery (she was a liberal; he was a staunch conservative), and her four husbands (including actor Gig Young, who later died in a murder/suicide). Through it all—and to family and friends such as fellow performers Ronny Cox, Sally Kemp, and Florence Henderson—she was just Lizzie: down-to-earth and unaffected, just like Samantha, the "witch-with-a-twitch" Stephens, her most famous role.
