As you may know; I don’t do the whole ‘horror’ thing. (Which is why you’ve never seen any on this blog.) So don’t worry, I’m not going to try and scare you today!
Instead; I’ve found a selection of books that fit within a slightly less spooky Halloween theme. I hope you enjoy them, and of course;
“A Modern Witch” by Debora Geary
“Can you live 28 years without discovering you’re a witch?
Lauren is downtown Chicago’s youngest elite realtor. She’s also a witch. She must be – the fetching spell for Witches’ Chat isn’t supposed to make mistakes. So says the woman who coded the spell, at least.
The tall, dark, and handsome guy sent to assess her is a witch too (and no, that doesn’t end the way you might think). What he finds in Lauren will change lives, mess with a perfectly good career, and require lots of ice cream therapy.
A Modern Witch is a full length novel, 81,000 words or about 300 pages. Light contemporary fantasy with a good dose of humor, a little romance, and characters you won’t want to leave.”

“Pumpkin Town!” by Katie McKy
“What happens when a town has an accidental abundance of pumpkins? What do José and his well-intentioned brothers do with a mountain of pumpkins?
An EXPLOSION of pumpkins?
Step into Pumpkin Town and see!”

“Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble” by H.P. Mallory
“A self-deprecating witch with the unique ability to reanimate the dead.
A dangerously handsome warlock torn between being her boss and her would-be lover.
A six hundred year old English vampire with his own agenda; one that includes an appetite for witches.
The Underworld in a state of chaos.
Let the games begin.
Life isn’t bad for psychic Jolie Wilkins. True, she doesn’t have a love life to speak of, but she has a cute house in the suburbs of Los Angeles, a cat and a quirky best friend.
Enter Rand Balfour, a sinfully attractive warlock who insists she’s a witch and who just might turn her life upside down. Rand hires her to help him solve a mystery regarding the death of his client who also happens to be a ghost. Jolie not only uncovers the cause of the ghost’s demise but, in the process, she brings him back to life!
Word of Jolie’s incredible ability to bring back the dead spreads like wildfire, putting her at the top of the Underworld’s most wanted list. Consequently, she finds herself at the center of a custody battle between a villainous witch, a dangerous but oh-so-sexy vampire, and her warlock boss, Rand.”

And finally:
“A Field Guide to Demons, Vampires, Fallen Angels and Other Subversive Spirits” Carol K. Mack
“Did you know the Mbulu of South Africa has a razor sharp tail with a mind of its own? Or that the Kuru-Pira of Brazil has eyes that glow like embers, and fangs ripping from its mouth? In this updated edition of A Field Guide to Demons, Carol and Dinah Mack bring to life some of the most horrific and fascinating creatures ever described in mythology and legend. With a deft pen and global perspective, the Macks profile over ninety bogies including: mermaids, ghouls, vampires, kelpies, werewolves, and more. Readers will delight in exploring the origin, characteristics, and cultural significance of each creature. Organized by “habitat,” this book will entertain readers of all ages, while shedding light on religious and cultural ideals from around the world. With vivid details and highly researched entries, A Field Guide to Demons is a must have for academics, writers, students, and anyone interested in mythology or the occult”

Sticking to your not horror and witches theme, there a really cute story by an acquaintance of mine on Amazon titled, “Real Dragons Don’t Wear Sweaters.” It’s a fun, feel good read.
Also, if you get a chance check out my blog about the stories I write at http://www.AnthroTales.com. It’s a small niche but one I have fun with.
Now you have me curious about the Realtor witch in Chicago! Damn! *laughs*
