Desperate Housewitches

By Dayle A. Dermatis

Kim reigns as the witchy Martha Stewart of her neighborhood coven…until Philippa moves in across the street, with her snooty English pagan heritage and her magical one-upmanship. When the annual Winter Solstice ritual goes horribly wrong, can Kim and Philippa put their differences aside and bring back the sun?

"Desperate Housewitches" is part of Uncollected Anthology, Issue 2, Winter Witches.
