Witch Upon a Star — Book 1 Book 1

Book One · The Witch's Guide to Love

Witch Upon a Star

On her 35th birthday, Darcy Keegan turns her cheating ex's car into a pumpkin. Apparently, she's a witch. Enter Archie — a centuries-old talking spell book with opinions — and Nate Colby, the skeptic contractor who is absolutely not falling for a woman who claims she can do magic. He's wrong about this.

No Witch Way Out — Book 2

Book Two · The Witch's Guide to Love

No Witch Way Out

Darcy and Nate are figuring things out. Then Nate's family arrives, a 1950s poltergeist named Wendell moves in uninvited, and Darcy's magic decides this is the perfect time to work perfectly at all the wrong moments. Archie has reviewed the situation. He considers it excellent material.

The Witch's Plus One — Book 3

Book Three · The Witch's Guide to Love

The Witch's Plus One

Darcy's been invited to the Annual Witches' Conclave — black tie, high stakes, and she's bringing Nate as her plus one. One love potion accident, one scheming antagonist, and one grand speech at the ball later, the magical society of Ravenmoor Estate will never be the same. Archie did warn them.

About the Author

Who Is Archie Vale?

I have been alive for four centuries. I have seen things. I have opinions about all of them.

Archie Vale has been many things over the centuries: grimoire, field guide, reluctant confidant, and occasional matchmaker. He currently resides in Willowbrook, a small town with a surprising number of magical emergencies and a remarkable shortage of people willing to follow good advice.

When he's not cataloguing spells or offering unsolicited commentary on the romantic decisions of everyone around him, Archie writes paranormal romantic comedies about witches, small towns, and the kind of love that refuses to be contained by logic or good sense.

Witch Upon a Star is his first novel. He has already started the second. He has very specific ideas about how it should go. The author has been informed.
