A Gemstone Coven Halloween Tale I'll probably live to regret it, but I've given Nancy permission to hold a huge Halloween bash here at the farmhouse. If nothing else, maybe it will distract me from what I have planned for after it. A seance. I'm making an ultra-long distance call to my mom. She has something I want, dang it. Something she didn't pass on to me before she left this world. The others are trying to guess what it is I want to ask her. They'll never get it in a million years. Of course, there's no reason not to tell them. But where's the fun in that? A Very Opal Halloween is an 8,000 word short story taking place in the Accidental Familiar Series starring the Gemstone Coven Witches and their familiars. This story takes place after book three, Un-Familiar Magic, but can be read as a stand-alone story. No murder, no crime, just family and a good tale. Just why did Opal want to contact her mom, anyway?

A very special birthday for a very special witch. Baby Pearl is about to turn one year old. For the second time in as many lifetimes, mind you. That milestone deserves a very special present. The only problem is that I don't have a clue what that present should be. It should be something that only I could give her. A gift from the heart that tells her just how much she means to me. And staring at the big, stuffed dragon in front of me, I knew it would never do. I had to keep looking. A Very Happy Halloween Birthday is a 9300 word short story set in the world of the Gemstone Coven witches and their familiars. No crime, no murder. Just a big family and a good Halloween tale. What on earth will Opal give to little baby Pearl?
