Before I wrote the Magic Seasons, which if you’ve followed
along on any of my book tours you’d know it was not a planned event in my life;
I traveled around to various in province Pagan festivals. At the time I was so enthralled by finding
others to share this different way of life with that I didn’t know how much I
learned until long afterward.
There were just so many paths and avenues of knowledge to
absorb, it was quite overwhelming. I
mean, I’ve always been pagan and somewhat “unique” but I had never realized how
many facets there were until then.
At this point I was already a certified herbalist, using
plants, herbs and oils for most of my family and friends health, medical and
emotional instances. I was also a Holistic
Back Practitioner, a certified Holistic massage therapist, shiatsu and
acupressure specialist, so stepping into an environment of so many nature based
beliefs wasn’t a very big leap for me.
During my travels I absorbed so much and my interests were
never ending in wanting to learn more and more…
For each of the paths I’ve put in the Magic Seasons I did
spend time with people that followed those without pause. It wasn’t just their
beliefs, but their way of life and while a lot of it just didn’t fit into my
own personal makeup, I did learn a lot and keep the pieces that fit to enhance
what I already believe.
I’ve been asked a lot if there are ‘real’ witches out there.
Yes, there are witches, witchdoctors and practitioners (to mention a few) of
different faiths. It’s really no
different than there being pastors, priests and ministers on the other side of
the coin of life.
While the magic in the series is somewhat fantastical, even
though I’d love to have the ability so smack someone without touching them or
move something without lifting a hand (who wouldn’t right?) it’s not far from
what real magic is to me. Just look out
the window (if you have a view of nature and not concrete) and tell me that
nothing out there has a touch of magic to it.

In hiding she has to rebuild the strength to get through it. She is forced to spend her days and nights in the company of a detective, that seems to have no other plan in life than to constantly aggravate her and make her want things she may never have again.
When Patrick’s cover is blown and he is badly injured, the group of friends pull together to keep him and the recovering victim of a killer safe. As a result, the group of twelve become targets of the criminals after Patrick and have to live together in a safe house for Yule.

Chris is a force of strength and experience that is carefully hidden behind the easy mannerism he has adapted so carefully. There is nothing he cannot do where magic is concerned and he has tried all manner of things, whether right or wrong. His fortune has left him wanting for nothing else in life, except the one thing money can’t buy him, the woman he feels too unclean to approach.
Separated by two different life styles yet their passion and magic ignite sparks hotter than the Solstice heat.
