Once upon a time, there was a girl who truly believed in magic. She had never fallen in love but assumed it would feel like a spell had been cast. One day, she met a boy who made her heart race and her palms sweat. Was this what magic felt like? They talked for hours, lost in each other's company. When the horizon overtook the sun, he took her hand in his, and they walked and kissed beneath the stars. She felt the frisson of atoms inside her, and she knew magic had conjured a spell just as she’d dreamed.

Special Skills
Manhattan seemed a small town shrouded in mystery after a local celebrity’s disappearance. The dearth of clues or witnesses perturbed the police enough to engage me. I have certain…skills they usually refuse to entertain. I discovered the missing man had been involved in unsavory dealings, despite his sterling image. Suspicion grew as I uncovered evidence pointing toward foul play. With the help of intuition, I pieced together the puzzle and uncovered the truth behind the actor’s disappearance. However, as I closed in on the culprit, I realized that my own life was in danger and would need to save myself.

Solstice Circle
My husband's birthday was coming up, and I didn't want to do the hum-drum "let's go out to dinner" deal. What to do? We've seen most the local bands in our area, and I didn't want him to grill dinner for his birthday. My mother joked that his birthday had to be celebrated right because it was on the longest day of the year, the traditional summer solstice. Usually falling on June 21, this year's solstice is the day before. However, he is getting a full moon for his birthday, so that's a win.
