Desperate Housewitching

A coven of witches in suburbia, juggling families and holidays and jealousy, or fighting with the local homeowners' association with both magic and their wits. Magic users in Portland, OR, who have a special and unusual relationship with their familiars. This collection contains three stories from the fan-favorite Desperate Housewitches series and the popular Portland Hedgewitches series. So brew up some potion, settle in with your cat, and lose yourself in these stories of glamour and occasional infighting from a master of urban fantasy! "Trust Dayle to write a winter holiday story about the solstice and magic. She manages to combine the claustrophobia of a suburban neighborhood with the competitiveness that women sometimes engage in with holiday ritual. Only the holiday ritual here isn't decorating a Christmas tree or singing carols (although there is a discussion of carolers that made me chuckle). Nope. This one is about pagan rituals. The story's wonderful, funny, and a do-not-miss." ~ Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Hugo-award winning author
