The first three books from the Contemporary Witchy Fiction group of authors are out!
During the lockdown, a group of kiwi authors that I’m part of, decided to write cozy witchy tales. Because we all need something hopeful right now, where the end is not nigh and love can prevail. These are uplifting stories set in beautiful New Zealand. We had a lot of fun writing these stories and we can’t wait to share them with our readers.
Register on the form to get a free review copy if you want to read and review these.
If you’re based in the windy city, some of my Witchy Fiction friends will also be discussing all things witchy at Verb Wellington at the Newtown Sunday Stroll.
