The Celtic Witch and the Sea
(2018)(A book in the Celtic Witch Mysteries series)
A collection of stories by Molly Milligan
The myth and magic of Ancient Britain still flows in the veins of Bron the witch...
Novella one:
Bron helps the souls of the recently-dead to pass into the Celtic Otherworld.
But one man seems to be stuck. What's preventing his ghost from making its next journey? Only Bron has the magical skill to find out.
What should have been an easy job brings her under attack from dragonflies, snakes and cats - all three linked by the old stories of her ancestors. She has to unravel the past to make sense of the present and only then can the future have a happy ending.
This novella, Harkin And the Snake's Servant, first appeared in the now-unavailable anthology "Seven Pets for Seven Witches" and is based on the characters that appear in the Celtic Witch Mysteries.
Novella two:
Jackie is a domestic witch living in a cute English cottage by the sea. Nothing happens here ... until a pretty, popular young artist is found dead on the beach.
Jackie had heard spectral voices calling out from the waves that night. Did the young woman's murder have a supernatural origin? Jackie teams up with her best friend Gloria to find out.
But their meddling unleashes the Hurricane Curse upon the town. It comes to rip Jackie out to sea and she needs to draw on every ounce of her magic to save herself - and her community.
This novella, It's Always Night at the Bottom of the Sea, first appeared in the now-unavailable anthology "Spell or High Water." It is based on the characters from the trilogy The Everyday Witches of Wildham-on-Sea.
Both these stories are standalones and you don't need to have read anything else by British author Molly Milligan to enjoy them. If you like earth-based magic that holds communities together, old tales weaving their spell in new ways, and ancient answers to modern problems, you'll love these humorous, intriguing paranormal mysteries.
I am a British author writing in British English so you may encounter some unfamiliar spelling, grammar and vocabulary.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
