A Gap in the Veil

by Sam Schenk

A tombstone on fallen leaves with magical lightning splitting through it and across space

As a mechanic, Greg can fix just about anything—except his broken heart.  He finds solace in witchcraft, solving problems for ghosts instead of looking closer to home. 

When a visiting musician dials up the charm after a gig in town, Greg’s life looks to be taking a turn for the better.  But his plans to keep things simple between them are complicated by the awakening of an ominous spirit.  Greg must make choices between appearing distant and bringing his new friend into the fight, all the while saving Wellington from a past it had almost forgotten.

Alpaca and Apparitions

by Andi C. Buchanan

pink cover with a loom and a cheeky alpaca

Mildred Windflower – witch and successful fibre artist – has been touring the world, demonstrating her craft and taking up prized residencies.

Now back in Aotearoa, she hopes an isolated farm cottage will give her time alone to work out what to do next.

She expected quiet. Instead she finds strange noises in the attic, and signs of an old mystery, while across the fence the quirky, gorgeous Anneke has returned to the family farm and is building up a herd of alpaca.

Something supernatural is going on: it’s up to Mildred to determine what is warning and what is threat. And ideally withough making a total fool of herself in front of Anneke.

Alpaca and Apparitions is the third in the Windflower series that started with Succulents and Spells, but can be read as a stand-alone.

Overdues and Occultism

by Jamie Sands

A stack of books on a table in a library highlighted with golden magic

A witch in the broom closet probably shouldn’t be so interested in a ghost hunter, right? That Basil is a librarian comes as no surprise to his Mt Eden community. That he’s a witch? Yeah. That might raise more than a few eyebrows. When Sebastian, a paranormal investigator filming a web series starts snooping around Basil’s library, he stirs up more than just Basil’s heart. Between Basil’s own self-doubt, a ghost who steals books and Sebastian, an enthusiastic extrovert bent on uncovering secrets, Basil’s life is about to get a lot more complicated
