Diana's Manster

2022

\*The Engineer, The Kitchen Witch, and a Manifestation of True Love Bryson I'd been planning this annual camping trip for months. A remote spot in the mountains, and a simple backwoods trail up along the north gorge that I've taken dozens of times. But somewhere along the way, my compass stopped working, and I lost the trail. Stumbling through the woods, I find her, a goddess in white, dancing by the fire. I'm mesmerised like a sailor lured in by the siren's song. Except this woman is terrified of me and armed with bear spray. Somehow I know this is destiny, kizmet, love ordained by the stars. There's a force here that's brought us together. A force greater than anything my engineering mind understands. Diana, Diana, a name given to me from a long line of east coast witches, along with powers that come from kitchen witchery and old wives' tales of herbs and their magical correspondences. I have full faith in manifesting destiny, and the silly love spell I did with my friends will undoubtedly work. Weeks after that girls trip, under the full moon, and in the privacy of my family's mountain cabin, I strip down to complete the final step. By the light of the full moon, he shall surface... And oh boy does he ever! A hiker with a broken compass and a heart of gold. He's the one. He's everything I asked for. But is he smitten with the real me? Or did I break the golden rule of witchcraft and influence the will of another? I'm second guessing my integrity when I notice it, the change in skin tone on his left hand. It's the one thing I didn't think to not ask for. An available, unattached man. I'm reminded of my mother's words... be specific, and careful what you wish for. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\* You've Built a Bear, but have you ever Made a Manster? When 15 girlfriends spend a spooky weekend getaway in Manitou Springs, Colorado, they conjure up their perfect partner, but never expect to actually meet them.

Tricia's Manster

2022

It was just a bit of fun, until he showed up TRICIA Getting together with girlfriends and doing a love spell was fun. I never thought anything would come of it. Except now I’m faced with a handsome man straight out of my dreams. He’s perfect... and my client. It goes against professional ethics to even think half the things I want to do with him. I resign myself that it’s not meant to be, and a silly spell is just that- silly. Then he kisses me… MATTHEW From the moment she walks into the room for my massage, I’m thoroughly captivated. Her touch brings relief while tormenting me with what I can’t have. As a divorced older man, I’m not the best catch for a wonderfully upbeat young woman like her. Yet all I want is the chance to prove that I am the man she’s been waiting for. You've Built a Bear, but have you ever Made a Manster? When 15 girlfriends spend a spooky weekend getaway in Manitou Springs, Colorado, they conjure up their perfect partner, but never expect to actually meet them. This Halloween, join our heroines as they manifest the men of their dreams using a little earth magick, tequila, and lime.

Clarissa's Manster

2022

What happens when the love spell you cast to conjure the perfect man comes knocking at your door? Clarissa’s from a long line of self-proclaimed witches, so when her great-aunt leaves her a sprawling eleven bedroom mini-mansion in Manitou Springs—a Colorado mountain town thick with supernatural energy—she creates an occult-themed B&B that will attract visitors from across the country. But first, a soft opening and a girl’s weekend where she leads her friends through a spell where they manifest their perfect partner. Dallas is a nomad, a drifter, a beach bum in the summer, and a ski bum in the winter with a job and a bank account that allows him to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and wherever he wants. He doesn’t know what drew him to the paranormal B&B versus an extended stay hotel, but the moment the innkeeper opened the door, he knew he found a place to settle his wandering spirit. Clarissa is like no woman he’s ever met, and while her witchy vibes are adorable, he’s not sure he believes in witchcraft, but he does believe in her. She never expected him—the one man she’s been dreaming of since she was a teenager—to knock at her door. Picture perfect down to the small scar on his chin and his big hands, he’s everything she’s asked the Goddess to bring her, but when he tells her he’s a non-believer, can she trust what’s standing in front of her?
