Living with Magic Chapter 3

 It was raining when I got to work that morning. Thankfully, I had an umbrella stashed in my car, so I didn’t look entirely like a drowned rat when I got into the building, but my shoes were still squishing unpleasantly as I walked through the main lobby of the Landmark Hotel. I worked in […]

Living with Magic Chapter 2

Gretel and I were both up early the next morning for work. I was taking a quick shower with soft music playing on the little speaker in our bathroom, trying to relax as I got ready for the day. Our shower wasn’t great, nothing like the ones we had at The Landmark, the boutique hotel […]

I’m just a healer.” I glanced down at Joel, who was currently not dead because Gretel was “just” a healer. But I […]

The Problem with Magic Chapter 15

I locked eyes with Joel from across the garden as Corman held up the tiny box. It glowed a faint amber in his palm and I saw the fear bloom in Joel’s eyes as the glow faded. “Joel, Joel, Joel,” Corman said, shaking his head in exaggerated disappointment. “Did you really think you could just […]

The Problem with Magic Chapter 13

Sure enough, a wave of women descended on the conference room about three hours later. My desk was now in Angie’s office, so I went in there to do my work as they put the wedding venue together. Through the gaps in the privacy curtains we’d put up, I could see that Cherise was helping […]
