More About the Author

I am a writer living in beautiful Upstate New York. Llewellyn Worldwide has published five of my books on the topic of modern Witchcraft and I am currently working on a number of novels.
I also manage an artists' cooperative shop a friend and I started in 1999, make jewelry and do a few other esoteric things on the side.
When I am not writing, I love to read (Jennifer Crusie, Katie Fforde, Tamora Pierce and Candace Havens are among my favorite fiction writers, and I read a lot of non-fiction about Witchcraft, spirituality, gardening and cooking).
I love to hear from people who read my books.

Everyday Witch A-Z Spellbook is absolutely wonderful! It has come in handy already and I only had the book for a few days. This spellbook has a spell for just about everything you can think of. It is easy to use, well organized, and written so well that even a beginner can use it. It has quickly become my favorite spellbook! I love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful spellbook, February 13, 2011

This review is from: Everyday Witch A to Z Spellbook: Wonderfully Witchy Blessings, Charms & Spells (Paperback)

This is the 6th spellbook I've bought from Amazon and by far the MOST useful.

Simple, straightforward spells. It has a wide variety of spells, some that are hard to find in other books. I wish I would've found this one first!

Most spells require a few tool ingredients (for example: a candle, smudge stick, scented oil, or specific stone - all which are easily found online if you don't have an occult store nearby) followed by a spoken spell.

Overall, a great book. The only complaint is that, for a few spells she suggests that you draw a circle, call in the elements, and invite deity into your circle, but doesn't explain how to do it. Luckily one of my other books tells you how.
