This has been a wild ride. Educational. And humbling! Take it from someone who burned out a few years back, returning to this beloved world and its denizens, not to mention the added prodding of Loren Coleman and especially Anthea Sharpe, I am forever grateful to those who contributed to this campaign. 

The Campaign comes to a close on Thursday (I forgot I’d extended it from Tuesday to Thursday before I launched and my calendar still has Tuesday on it!). We broke 1K, which adds in Magician’s Game to Backers above $5.00 and that makes me happy. I want everyone to read about Dharma and Ivan, because they become a major part of the next series and the story’s evolution 

Take a last look at the Campaign by clicking HERE and see if you find any Reader Cookies for yourself. I will see you all in New Orleans again!

The Kickstarter is live. And as I’ve said on every other post: I’m so nervous I’m gonna throw up. If you are curious, click on the cover and it will take you to Kickstarter. 

It took a bit of mulling over the idea of going back, but then, when I realized I was already re-reading everything and jotting down ideas every free moment… yeah, it was time to go back. Side note, though: I am not stopping the other series I have in process. This is just a pause while I spend some time in New Orleans. 

At Bell, Book, and Candle! 

Returning and New characters. 

Because this is technically Book 10 (huge technically), this series begins 5 years after Elemental Dreams. Which means this book has to bridge a gap between those who read The Eldritch Files and those whose first book will be Arcane Rising. I hope I manage to do that. 

Certain characters are not there. For TEF readers, Samantha, Crwys and Lizzie are not in New Orleans. Kyle, Jack, Arden and Tasoula are. A lot can happen in 5 years. Remember that.

An old/new character has joined the gang. Jason Lawrence is now a mainstay, taking the reigns left empty at the NOPD by Crwys Holliard. 

There is another old/new character, but I’ll leave that for the story. 

Meet Janet Harper, Harper to her friends. Earth Elemental Witch. She hails from a small town in Georgia and isn’t as schooled in the ways of the Witching Society as other Witches. After being chosen as Arden Vervain’s heir…nothing in her life will ever be the same. 

The Story

Harper’s arrival in New Orleans is anything but smooth. She runs over a guy moving into his apartment, trips over a body at her announcement party, and finds herself face-to-face with a myth in need of rescuing. 

Harper finds herself pushed to her known limit as she discovers something festering in New Orleans while aiding her Oldsmobile’s victim, solving the mystery of the bodies piling up, and saving the myth in order to unlock the Twelve once again. 

I’ll be sending links to Kickstarter in my newsletter and Substack, as well as updates as I have them. Come on back to New Orleans!
