Witches, ghouls, and mind readers—oh my! Murder and mystery abound in this supernatural novel. Vega Bloodmire has no problem with the label “villainous witch,” though she draws the line at being called a self-centered hag. Life isn’t easy being twenty-two, drop-dead gorgeous, and the most fashionable witch in all the land—especially while working as an intern teacher at a magical boarding school. Being young and beautiful is a curse. A curse for everyone who underestimates her. Vega finally thinks she has her student teaching figured out at Encantado Charter Academy. The lecherous tyrant of a mentor teacher who was supervising her is dead, she gets to do what she does best—boss people around—and she might even prove to her mother that she doesn’t need their family’s money to succeed in life. She can support herself in a career without anyone else’s help, live a somewhat normal life, and keep her ghoulish family secrets under wraps. Unfortunately, all Vega’s well-laid plans go awry when she is framed for murder. Worse yet, she fears she may have revealed her darkest secret—one so awful she will be shunned by Witchkin society even if she can prove her innocence. Vega is going to need to find the true culprit of the crime in order to save her reputation—and her life. Enjoy this spin-off series from the world of Womby’s School for Wayward Witches.

Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun

2020

Wicked witches have more fun—especially when crushing their enemies. Brooms. Doom. Gloom. There’s no sweeping this wicked witch under the rug. She’s ready to solve a mystery. While working at her first job as a teacher at Encantado Charter Academy, Vega Bloodmire crashes her broom in the Morty Realm, nearly exposing the world of magic and witches that she belongs to. Vega knows the incident isn’t her fault and someone sabotaged her—though she can’t guess why. As a result of this accident, Vega loses her license to fly. How is a wicked witch schoolteacher supposed to focus on teaching when possessed brooms, remedial lessons in flyer-ed classes, and encounters with the Witchkin Council’s Department of Magical Violations are all getting in the way of doing her job? As if all of this isn’t humiliating enough, Vega is unable to teach the flying class that she’d had her heart—and her wallet—set on. If she doesn’t get her license back, prove she is capable of flying, and competent enough to teach Flyer’s Education—rather than taking it—she’s out of work and going to be forced to move back in with her parents. As far as Vega is concerned, there’s no fate worse than that. She’s going to need to track down the saboteur in order to prove her innocence and ensure she gets to teach that class she’s perfect for. What Vega doesn’t realize is that an injustice far deeper than a single possessed broom is afoot. It’s going to take someone with cunning, skills in manipulation, and better bargaining skills than a haggler at a Black Friday Sale in order to solve her problems—and the school’s. Unfortunately for her enemies, she possesses all those skills. Enjoy this spin-off series from the world of Womby’s School for Wayward Witches.
