Candles and Cauldrons
This is a short story series I’m writing and publishing on the platform Short Story Lovers. You are welcome to subscribe for right now, I only have the Subscribe for Free option and if/when that changes, I will post first.Once subscribed, you can read my first story from my series Candles and Cauldrons, called The Devil in the Details. Candles and Cauldrons centers around a modern witch named Selene who refuses to align herself with more powerful entities, choosing to stand on her own abilities instead.
If you like cozy stories to escape reality (which I think a lot of us might want right now) this could be for you. I hope you like it - and please, please, please do NOT feel pressured to subscribe/read/whatever.
Selene is your average, ordinary witch – she works a normal call center job, lives in an overpriced apartment, and is saving up to one day start her own business. All is going according to plan until the night she’s attacked by a vampire in her bed.
The attack thrusts her into the supernatural world where there is a tenuous peace between the three greatest powers: the vampires, the Fae, and the werewolves. As a human, Selene must be claimed according to their very old rules. As a modern witch, Selene refuses and must use a combination of quick thinking and stubbornness to assert her own place amongst them as an equal with her own autonomy.
The lack alliances will prove a tricky one for the witch as she begins to navigate the liminal space between the mundane and the magical.
Candles and Cauldrons: The Devil in the Details is the first in a short story series, it is cozy, fun, escapism from our reality, and while darker subjects are touched upon, readers can trust that there is a great deal of fun to be had with the relatable protagonist as they read about her adventures.
