Summary:
Claire Wiche is an ordinary woman, running her Wicca shop, The Wiche’s Broom, in an ordinary California beach town.

But Claire wasn’t always ordinary, and she isn’t quite human. She hides a secret, and a past she thought she had put behind her.
A past that is about to explode into her present.

When it does, and everyone she loves is in danger, Claire must face up to her past – and become what she left behind in order to save them.
GUEST POST:

If you go to my website, this is my tagline. Right away, it will tell you that I don’t write happy bunny stories.

Don’t get me wrong – I do have humor in my books. But there is also an edge – an “everything is not what it seems” edge. My fantasy work hints at it – hey, being fantasy, we are already stepping off the reality road. My latest book, Rest For The Wicked, takes you by the hand, walks you right to the edge and invites you to take a look.

No one is more surprised than me that my writing headed in this direction. I grew up reading epic fantasy, with the sweeping worlds that took you on a journey, a quest, a rescue – sometimes all three.

But I also grew up seeking the spooky, the scary, the twilight zone weirdness. I shivered under the covers with Stephen King, and the earlier stuff by Dean Koontz. So it shouldn’t be so surprising that I am seriously awful at writing those epic stories, and gravitate to the supernatural.

It’s where I feel at home, where my voice is most genuine, and where writing is no work and all fun. Yep – I am liking it out here on the edge of reality. And I enjoy taking you along with me.

And to thank you all, I am giving away five spooky little gifts. Just leave a comment here, and you will have a chance to win.

Until next time – read on.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
