Girl's Guide To Witchcraft
(The first book in the Jane Madison series)
(2006)

Jane Madison has a problem. Or two. Or three.

She's working as a librarian, trapped in absurd period costumes and serving up expensive lattes, all in an effort to keep her employer's budget in the black. She has a desperate crush on her Imaginary Boyfriend, a professor who regularly uses her library. Her doting grandmother is determined to reunite her with her long-absent mother. And now she's been told that the library can't pay her a well-deserved raise – instead, she can live for free in an ancient, dusty cottage on the library grounds.

When Jane settles into her new, allergen-infested home, she discovers a hidden chamber lined with ancient books – a world-class collection on witchcraft. She begins to read a spellbook, never suspecting that she has the power to work actual magic.

Her first spell awakens a smart-mouthed feline familiar. Her second makes her irresistible to men, starting with her geeky, shy co-worker.

Those magical workings attract the attention of the local coven, specifically the warder David Montrose. Jane resents David's interference even as she watches her powers spiral out of control. Before long, Jane doesn't know who she should listen to: her well-meaning grandmother, her down-to-earth best friend, her *****y familiar, her besotted co-worker, her coming-around Imaginary Boyfriend, or her overbearing astral enforcer.

Girl’s Guide to Witchcraft combines the humor and single-girl angst of Bridget Jones's Diary with the fantasy magic of Harry Potter (for grown-ups!).




Sorcery and the Single Girl
(The second book in the Jane Madison series)
(2007)

Those TV witches have got it made....

Wiggle a nose. Dinner's on the table!

Hop on a broom. Next stop, Tahiti!

Unfortunately, nose-wiggling doesn't cut it in real life. So witch or not, Jane Madison must deal with her insane work schedule, best-friend drama and romantic dry spell like everyone else.

But now the exclusive Washington Coven wants Jane to join. This could be a dream come true for the magical misfit, or it could be the most humiliating experience of her life. Either way, the crap's gonna hit the cauldron because Jane is about to be tested in ways she's never imagined - and, pass or fail, nothing will ever be the same.
