Good news! I think I finally have the cover down for

Magick & Moonlight. I am excited about the Magick Series! Here is the cover:
Here is the first book,
Magick & Moonlight, which is available now on
Solstice Publishing and
Amazon:
And, lest ye mourn the fact that there isn't another romance in the series, don't fret.
Magick Sunrise is a romantic fantasy work in progress that I have planned for the third book. Here are my muses for that one:
It's all very exciting, isn't it? Here is a little teaser from
A Little Magick to whet your appetite:

Soon, her eyes began to get heavy and then she felt
like she was floating. Her eyelashes
lifted and she groaned to see that Uncle Adam had picked her up and was
carrying her. “I’m sorry. We can finish the show now.”
“It’s
all right. You’re too tired. We can watch it another night.”
“But,
I don’t want to. I swear I can stay awake.” Her lids began to drift closed once more,
however.
“Hmm…why
don’t you go to sleep now, Rosie? All of
this will still be here tomorrow.”
Uncle
Adam’s low voice had the strangest effect on her. Soon she felt the cool sheets of her bed
beneath her and when the covers were drawn over her body, she thought this was
what a cloud must feel like.
She
drifted off, dreaming that she was a rocket, shooting straight through the
stars and the wind blew through her hair, lifting it.
Sometime
later, Rosanna came awake once more. The
room was pitch black, but she was not afraid of it. She had never been afraid of darkness. She tossed, trying to find a comfortable
spot, hoping she would just go back to sleep, but she couldn’t.
Rosie
turned onto her back and looked up at the ceiling. As her eyes adjusted, she couldn’t detect
much other than the shape of it. She wanted to open the window so she could breathe
in the night air, one of her favorite pastimes.
But, she didn’t know how hard it would be to open. She thought of
the crisp air she enjoyed when her family went camping, how they would all
roast marshmallows over the fire and tell scary stories. Before they retreated into their tent as a
family, Mama and Daddy would drag her across their laps and ask her what shapes
she could see. She thought of the array
of stars blessing the night sky, high above the treetops. It was a nice memory.
She
noticed vaguely that a light had come on, a soft one like the nightlight Mama
and Daddy had in her room even though she told them she wasn’t scared. Then suddenly, she realized it wasn’t a light
causing her to see.
She looked down at her
hands and they glowed a bright blue.
“Something is wrong,” she whispered.
Her breath caught in her throat and she scrambled out of bed. When she landed on her feet, her blue pajamas
were glowing too. She looked down at her
chest and realized it was in her skin.
She opened her mouth and screamed.
Then she saw that the dark room was covered in a multitude of stars like
the night sky at home or like Uncle Adam’s theater. It was beautiful, but strange. Why was this happening? Was this the magick Mama did? Could she do it too?
The
glow was still under her skin though, and it frightened her. Her breaths became labored.
“Rosie!”
“Uncle
Adam!” she cried as the door flew open and she saw him bare-chested and in a
pair of dark pajama pants.
“Are
you okay?” he asked, then stopped short when he looked around. “What the…” His mouth dropped open when he saw the stars
dotting the room.
“It’s
in my skin!” she cried.
His
gaze swung back to her and his eyes widened when he took her in. He wrapped her in his arms. “Okay…ah, okay. We’ll figure this out.”
