The Magic Seasons was my first (serious) step
into the world of writing and like everything else I do, I jumped in full speed
ahead! The first book was written in
2006 (as a prank and ‘last’ word with a friend) and then we discovered it was
good and that I could write.
I spent
the next few years writing more, finally having Beltane published in 2009. Then again in 2012. THIS edition is the final and best version.
Thank you to the editors and proofreaders for
rounds one and two, I know it wasn’t easy to correct for grammar and flow
without losing how I saw my story and characters.
Beltane the season for
renewal of life, love and danger…
Step into a world of magic and
passion…
A group of friends come together to dance the Maypole
Take a dash of spice, a pinch of herbs
Soft candlelight and resonant drums
Add a flash of magic and watch the sparks fly
Toss in a killer that’s targeting women…
To the outside
world she is just Leena Duncan. A gentle woman with a troubled past,
yet none know her full story. Her ability to control the elements and her
knowledge of plants make her magic strong and unbreakable. It’s just too bad
that she’s closed off her heart to not risk it again, having learned that horrors are possible, even with those who
claim to love you. It only takes one man at the
rainy Beltane celebration to change her outlook, and one killer to endanger her
world.
Owen Grey, a well-known fantasy
author, has returned to his childhood home to set down roots and reacquaint himself
with old friends. Learning that magic is, in fact, possible, the second
revelation is the one woman who calls to him: body, soul and heart. Even more
surprising, he learns that with a simple touch he can relieve pain and lift
emotional burdens, it just doesn’t help him deal with his own past.
While he may write about happily ever after, he knows it only as
fiction. Until her.
With a
killer targeting celebrants at these small pagan gatherings, leaving two bodies
in warning, this little group of friends who welcomed him with open arms, are
at risk if they don’t find the killer.
