But I&#8217;ve got good news too!<\/p>\n<p>Em Shotwell has come on board. Em will be joining superstars Sara Dobie Bauer and Wendy Sparrow to offer you a trio of trilogies all about magic and romance.<\/p>\n<p>The Enchanted series will contain three books:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Magic Spark<\/li>\n<li>Magic Ember<\/li>\n<li>Magic Flame<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>And each book will contain three novellas &#8212; each of which are a part of a trilogy.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all very meta. And awesome.<\/p>\n<p>The stories in <em>Magic Spark<\/em> are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Destiny&#8217;s Dark Light&#8221; by Sara Dobie Bauer:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">In modern day Charleston, lonely white witch Cyan Burroughs has waited her whole life to lead the battle against dark witches and eventually meet the man she is fated to love. A tragic trolley accident brings Liam Cody into her life. He is her destiny, but he\u2019s also in love with someone else. Now, Cyan and her magic family must find the dark witch who caused the accident while Cyan fights her feelings for Liam\u2014a charming Irishman with secrets of his own.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;These Roots Run Deep&#8221; by Em Shotwell:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Spitfire, New Orleans weather girl, Cheyanne Murphey has everything, and that is exactly how she likes it. When she discovers evidence of her fianc\u00e9\u2019s philandering, she refuses to let her perfectly cultivated image fall to pieces. Cheyanne has worked too hard, dragging herself up from the trailer park into New Orleans\u2019 society, to give in without a fight\u2026even if that means trading a year of her life in exchange for a love incantation from her ancestor\u2019s spell book.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">A skyclad, moonlit dance, a mysterious potion, and magic gone awry leave Cheyanne with a very peculiar life lesson: love can take on many forms, so be careful what you wish for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;When Demigods Court Death&#8221; by Wendy Sparrow:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">As the demigod of fertility, Aster Slone has a thriving doctor\u2019s practice. In fact, the incidence of triplets has made it too thriving. He needs more time with his neighbor the demigoddess of death to dampen his powers. Chandra Linton being gorgeous and sweet makes his task less of a hardship. Hitting the zenith of heretofore-unknown powers without enough exposure to her match is killing Chandra. Accepting all that her crazy, but hot neighbor says is her destiny\u2026well, it muddles her convictions, but her real concern is: does Aster want Chandra because she\u2019s the woman he desires or because she\u2019s Death?<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Magic Spark will be available January 2018!<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Row&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;][et_pb_image admin_label=&#8221;Image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.51&#8243; src=&#8221;http:\/\/www.penandkinkpub.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Em.jpg&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;off&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; use_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; max_width=&#8221;200px&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; \/][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Em Bio&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.51&#8243; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Em Shotwell is a cancer survivor, foster care advocate, white belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and a\u00a0casual geek.
