A new Series!

I love starting a new series. There is so much potential and so much to discover about my heroine and her small town. Adding in a little witchyness is proving to be a lot of fun and I hope you’ll give the Witches and Wishes Series a try. 🥰

Quotes by C.A. Phipps (?)

“she watched Big Red swat lazily at a butterfly in the afternoon sunshine in their small garden. A Maine coon, she’d found outside her college when he was a tiny kitten, and having no idea how big a cat of his breed grew, she’d brought him home. No one claimed him and Maddie was glad about that every day. A big eater and even larger than the average Maine coon, Maddie adored him. In turn, he offered indifference tempered with affection, depending on his mood. He also ruled the house, something she willingly allowed and to her amusement, so did Gran. After eleven years, he was her confidante and side-kick, traipsing around town, with or without her, as far as she would let him and further if he thought he could get away with it.”
