About this ebook

Which witch is which? That is a question Jodie and Simon must answer shortly after they arrive at Storm Harbor...a quaint, picture postcard town with a dark, sinister underbelly. Above it looms a medieval fortress built in the late 1800s by Duncan Mcfadden...a powerful warlock with other ‘gifts’. It was an exact replica of one he had much admired in Scotland. Even though his extreme claustrophobia prevented him from ever entering its myriad tunnels, passageways and hidden rooms, he had made sure they were included in the massive build right down to the most minute detail. Now it’s a B&B owned by Loretta Phelps who transformed its stark grimness to accommodate her guests’ love of luxury and her own personal taste that bordered on the exotic. Jodie and Simon soon find themselves the pawns of dark forces as they try to rescue the spirits trapped within the walls.

There are six things important to me...well, most important to me: To love unconditionally, to always keep a sense of 'wonder', to always be kind, to find joy in simple things, to never take myself too seriously, and to make sure I don't leave this earth with a list of "if only I hads".I've taken many 'leaps of faith' in my time and, so far, have landed on my feet or, in one case, on a dilapitated houseboat with my dog, and a lot of enthusiasm. I named her 'Sanctuary Annie' and hoped for the best. I knew nothing about boats, couldn't swim and wondered how long she would stay afloat. In the middle of the night, when my dog jumped up to join me on the antique Victorian bed I had moved on board, I would check to see if he was wet, knowing, if so, we were both in big trouble. But Sanctuary Annie hung in there, even surviving a hurricane, when others around her were not so fortunate.Living in the small marina, with the sea as my back yard, I found a profound sense of peace..and the love of my life....my Jim, captain of 'Wings', a beautiful racing sloop that flies across the water, when the wind fills her sails.I often think how much I would have missed out on, if I hadn't taken that leap of faith and followed my heart. Life is meant to be lived and I intend to keep on doing just that.
