Hidden Gypsy Magic #99cents #MFRWhook #WFRWauthor
It’s a #99cent celebration at #MFRWHooks reads this week. Yippee!! Celebrating HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC, third book in A Witch’s Journey series, my paranormal romance/mystery. WooHoo! !
Discover the consequences of awakening hidden Gypsy Magic!
Pull up a chair and get comfy, grab a drink of your choice from the cooler, a Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter cookie from the plate, and let’s find out a little about HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC third book in A Witch’s Journey Series (all books can be read as a stand alone).
Lets start with what is HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC is all about.
The Salem Wildlife Sanctuary is Gwen Taylor’s life work. Her Irish Gypsy heritage provides a hidden talent she uses to help the creatures under her care. But even her magical skills can’t help new rescues in dire need of veterinary care.
The opportunity of signing on as the vet for Gwen’s sanctuary dropped into Brock Scutter’s lap after he expanded his practice to include wildlife. The personal attraction he and Gwen experience is undeniable the more their professional and personal lives collide.
Touring the only “non-haunted” house in Salem they both feel a spark of magic. A trip to his family’s cabin uncovers a heritage he didn’t know existed. If they want a future together, it means facing the consequences of awakening hidden Gypsy magic and a race against the clock to correct past wrongs.
Sneak peek between the pages of HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC: New Hook.
Carefully, Gwen took the poppet and eased her hand into the painting. A vortex sucked her arm then her entire body into the painting swirls of red, blue, and yellow swam around her then she was falling. She gulped in air as her stomach flipped threatening to spill its contents into the void. Her throat hurt from screaming, yet there was no sound. Something hard hit her backside, then it was quiet, she blinked and rubbed her eyes. Finding herself sitting in a rocking chair that squeaked announcing her arrival, she straightened and several pairs of eyes peered at her with interest. The room was familiar— it was the living room of Brock’s soon-to-be house, only the furnishings were quite different. The dragon staircase…
Before she could grasp what was happening a swirling portal of colors opened up in the center of the room. With a whoosh Pepper unceremoniously landed in the middle of the hardwood floor with a thud.
Pepper jumped up and brushed herself and stared at Gwen. “Another fine mess you’ve gotten us into. I nearly didn’t catch a hold of your magic trail into the painting.” She paused and glanced around. “Where the hell are we?” Pepper switched her attention to the three women and two men observing them from wooden chairs scattered around the room. “Hey, this is Brock’s house…but it isn’t. Oh no…” Her hand flew to her mouth as she sidled over and positioned herself to the side of Gwen’s chair.
“What?”
“Judging by the clothes these people are wearing, and the decor, the painting seems to have sucked us back in time,” Pepper whispered eying the group sitting before them.

Pull up a chair and get comfy, grab a drink of your choice from the cooler, a Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter cookie from the plate, and let’s find out a little about HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC sixth book in A Demon’s Witch Series (all books can be read as a stand alone).

Sneak peek between the pages of HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC:
It was like stepping back in time. A carved mahogany newel post formed a dragon’s body complete with an intricately detailed dragon head, the banister curving upstairs was a tail of the dragon complete with etched smoothed scales. Brock closed the door behind them.
Gwen stood in the entryway turning in a complete circle. “Wow…just wow. This house is beautiful.” Walking to the staircase, she touched the individual balusters. Each one was intricately etched to look like a tree or had vines and leaves carved around it. She turned her gaze to the ceiling, then tugged on his shirt sleeve and pointed. “This house may not be on Salem’s haunted house list, but it’s filled with magic.”
The crown moldings were carved to depict a fairy garden in the main room off the entrance. “You know I didn’t notice any of this when I peered in the windows, only the spacious rooms and the feeling it gives off if that makes any sense.”
“It does. Let’s tour the rest of the house.” She reached for the light switch. “Is the electricity on?” Her question was answered as she flipped the switch. A warm glow lit up the room from a sparkling chandelier hanging from the center ceiling. Upon closer inspection, the chandelier was a bit dusty, but she stood in awe. “This place will cost a fortune.”
“May be out of my price range.” He took her hand and towed her up the stairs to the second story landing. In the top half of each wooden door was an oval carved to depict either a dragon, fairy, moon and star scene, or flowers. “If I didn’t know better, I’d say an old hippy decorated this house. But it dates back to the 1700s or so the title records claim. A few hundred years before the hippies.” He chuckled. “The craftsmanship in the woodworking seems authentic to the time period.”
Running her fingers lightly over the wall, she murmured. “The cream-colored walls need a little paint maybe a bit of plaster or drywall, in contrast with all the woodwork.” She shook her head in amazement. “I don’t see a nick or sign of wear. Do you?”
“No.” He walked along the hallway pushed the first door open and his jaw dropped. The crown molding was carved in a moon and star pattern matching the oval in the door. “Look at this.” He pointed to the ceiling molding.
The air whooshed out of her. She paused for a moment then sprinted to the next door with a dragon carved in the oval and pushed open the door. “Brock, you’re gonna want to see this.”

A Few of My Favorite Things #L&SR’s Weekly Blog Challenge
Welcome to #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge for January 26, 2021. Today’s topic is a few of my favorite things. So many to choose from, but I ‘ll try to narrow it down! Pull up a chair, grab a drink. Take your choice of a Chocolate Chip, Snickerdoodle, or Peanut Butter cookie from the plate and let me share a few of my favorite things!
Big thundershower with ray and rainbow in the mountains
Thunderstorms (without hail). I love how the lightning streaks across the sky, rain falls on the windows, thunder rattles the house and windows. Night time storms are the best for watching. In Colorado those things are frequent, unfortunately they sometimes come with golf or softball size hail. The fact those happen, have somewhat tempered my enthusiasm. But not entirely.
Camping and hiking in state and national parks – Nothing more relaxing than camping in the middle of a mountain forest with wildlife all around. But not too close. A eight point buck elk at the front door of our fifth wheel trailer was a bit unnerving. LOL
An afternoon spent sitting soaking up the sun in our sunroom with my parrot playing on her play stands conversing with me and the birds outside.
Long walks around the neighborhood with my dog. Its fun to see what the neighbors have been up to. In the Spring it’s delightful to see new plant sprouts poking out of the earth preparing for summer.
Curled up in front of a roaring fire with a good book, bowl of popcorn, and a mug of hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows.
There you have a few of my favorite things. How about you? What are a few of your favorite things?

A peek between the pages of Hidden Gypsy Magic: The hook.
She slipped into the seat, just as she tossed her bag on the passenger seat a familiar tune about the devil in Georgia began. She frowned and dumped her bag out and grabbed her phone. “Gwen here.”
A man’s strained voice echoed over the phone. “There is a man snooping around the sanctuary. Guess he’s from the MSPCA. He’s chasing the mutt you’ve been feeding and coaxing to trust you. Stopped his truck on the road, the dog bolted onto sanctuary property and headed for the barn. The guy is still after it. What do you want me to do?”
“Sam?”
“Yeah. It’s me.”
Can you go out, close the barn door effectively capturing the poor thing? It’s got to be scared out of its mind.” She shook her head. “It will undo all the progress we’ve made, but better than going to the pound. “Do you know the guy?”
“Nope. Never seen him before. Must be new.”
“I’m on my way. If you get the dog in the barn, don’t open it for anyone. Including the dog catcher. If you have a conversation with the guy, inform him he is on private property. Ask him nicely to leave. My ETA fifteen minutes, give or take.” She tossed the phone on the seat, grabbed her keys and started the engine.
Brock reached through the window and closed his hand over hers on the steering wheel. “Want me to come with you?”
She started to shake her head no, then reconsidered. “Yeah.” Gunning the SUV, she took off, spewing gravel in her wake. A quick glance in the rearview mirror, she saw Brock sprint to his truck then pull into the street behind her. “This is the last thing I need.”
Stopping beside the unfamiliar truck, she shoved her vehicle in park, turned the engine off, and ran toward the barn where Sam appeared to be having a heated argument with a man she didn’t recognize.
