About the author

I'm a country girl who was raised in Florida and now living in South Carolina! I'm all about family, with five kids (or six, if you count my husband), and soon to be ten grandkids!
I have always loved magic and romance, and so that's often what I write about.. My characters tend to be like my children, and I can't wait to see what kind of mischief and adventures they're going to get into! Sometimes, I'm as surprised by what happens in my books as my readers are, and that just makes what I do all that much more enjoyable.

I was given a copy of this book from the author, via Voracious Readers Only in return for an honest review.
When three 17th century witches end up in the 20th century, luckily they are taken in by Katie and her 2 kids, as you can imagine there's a lot to learn for them all. After a time Very Swift Witches shop is open and Katie sells her goats milk etc, and the ladies sell there potions n creams, all, seems to be a great success. But like times of old, there those who are not happy with the witches or their wares. But that's just the start of the problems, so grab a copy and delve into this delightfully enjoyable story and wonderful characters, especially the cat , you won't regret it.

this will be a satisfying read for readers of the paranormal/magic genre. This is book 1 in the Very Swift Witches saga series. Katie takes her two teen children and returns to her abandoned family farm. She releases three 17th century witches who add some romance and excitement into her life. They also save the town and possibly the world from a deadly virus. A little stretch of the imagination is needed but all in all it's a good story and I'll probably look for the next installment. For teens and older readers. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I received a free copy from Voracious Readers in return for my honest review. I honestly wasn’t expecting much, the description seemed a little hooky. How wrong I was. It was a delightful read. It was fun and uplifting. The story was more complex than expected. The characters interesting and diverse. I highly recommend this book.

This is one of the best witchey stories I have read in a long time. With family and humour, and the courage to do what's right. What's next for the very swift witches?

[Elizabeth · Rating 1 out of 5]

I read enough. No. Nope. This was bad. Like bad bad. Maybe read for some laughs if you like goats.

Fun read.

[Elena Bensusan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very light and humorous book about three withes from old 17th century Wales waking up on out modern times. Very suitable for all audiences. I liked the optimism of the book and the good endings. All ends well in the book and even Ali the cat became a better cat-person than he was a man.

The general idea that hard work and dedication will really improve the lights of many appears to be motivational. Mild humor and gentle love line, some adventures and some morals, possibly some naive moments may make this book suitable for mother daughter reading clubs even.
I had very enjoyable read and some nice needed distraction from realities of life.
Thanks Net Galley and the publisher for the advanced reading copy of the book.

From the beginning it pulled me in and I had to read more to see what would happen next!! Whether your an adult or a teen or a younger advanced reader..This is a great story!

Thank you to NetGalley, BooksGoSocial and Stormy Summers for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is not the type of book I typically read, so it did take me a while to get into it. Overall I enjoyed the read.. Katie Holister and her two children have been living a privileged life in Florida, until her husband takes off with his secretary. Katie and her kids head back to her hometown in Missouri and Katie takes on running her parents goat farm. Through a series of events, three witches, Emma, Mary, and Annalee are transported from 1711 Wales, to Katies farm. Mostly a joyful, adventurous story of good witches doing good deeds. I think the story would appeal to young adults.
Thanks to netgalley for a free digital copy, all opinions are my own.

Kate is single parent trying to raise her two sons after their father deserted than all. They live on a goat farm that she inherited from her deceased parents. Some days, it feels like she carries the whole world on her shoulders. When three witches from the seventh century show up on the farm, they bring magic, love and adventure with them. But how will she deal with them? How will they cope, waking up centuries later? Is this some kind of a dream. These are the Very Swift Witches. It's a fun, humorous story that just about anyone can read. When a crisis comes up , the Witches have to help. Soon the witches are Auntie to the family. It's a fun, funny read that I totally recommend. I received this book from Net Galley and BooksGoSocial for a honest review. The opinions expressed are my own.
