Magic Runs in the Family. So Do Secrets.

Sara has kept one secret from her husband for nine years: her mother is a witch. She never expected her daughters to be the ones to blow the whole thing open.

Curses, Critters, and Other Complications is the first book in the Lancaster Witch Chronicle series, set in a small town where magic is real, mostly polite, and occasionally delivered by a bespelled badger.

Meet Ellen, the grandmother who can talk to her cat familiar and break a decades-old curse on a guinea pig before her tea gets cold. Meet Murgawth, the gray tabby who finally learns his birthday. Meet an imp with a grudge, a goat banned from the farmers market, and a family that is only just beginning to understand what it is.

This is cozy, slice-of-life fantasy with genuine heart: multigenerational, character-driven, and full of the kind of warmth that comes from people finally telling each other the truth.

Start the series with Curses, Critters, and Other Complications and meet a community of witches, hags, familiars, and perfectly ordinary people learning to make room for magic.
