Overview: Magenta Wilde has wanted to be a writer long before she knew her ABCs. As a child she would draw and write stories about the family pets. Her mother also told stories about her own childhood and embellished fairy tales or made up stories about mermaids and fairies. Magenta grew into a moody teen who wrote bad poetry and lived in art class. From there she earned a degree in English, but loved the literature aspect more than the grammar part. She worked for many years in newspapers doing writing, editing, and page design. She now freelances as a writer and proofreader in addition to getting her Poppy Blue fantasy series off and running. Magenta is married to a fellow writer and editor, and they have four cats. She is hard at work on more books in the Poppy Blue series, and is developing her Happily Hereafter storyline. Hint: It involves ghosts.
Genre: Paranormal & Urban Fantasy

1.Giving Up the Ghost
Big talent, big problems. Seeing ghosts is a cool ability, but when one of the see-through set has plans for you ...Okay, it's not that bad, but it's not that good either.

Flame-haired Poppy Blue runs her own magick shop way, way up north, in a tourist stop and college town in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Mostly she sells candles, crystal balls and some touristy items, reads a few palms, and has regular chats with her father's ghost, but Poppy is a hedge witch. Like her mother, the strong-willed and highly opinionated Fiona, she performs occasional feats of the amazing and the uncanny, largely on instinct.

One day a woman visits Poppy’s shop, worried for her son, Roger, who has never gotten over the death of his sister, Ivy, in an auto accident. Poppy discovers Ivy's ghost is still around, tied to this plane by Roger's unresolved grief – she can't move on until Roger moves on – and she wants Poppy to help. Poppy wants this, too, both to get the impulsive and antsy Ivy out of her bottle-red hair and because the witch is very attracted to Roger, with those icy blue eyes and broad shoulders of his. Plus he's a mechanic, so she can't help but wonder if he's good with his hands.

As Ivy is exploiting Poppy's abilities and compassion, discovering some fringe benefits to being a spirit and disrupting Poppy's life – and prospective love life – Poppy is trying to convince Roger to give one very persistent ghost.

2. Plenty of Trouble
Family is everything. Until it gets to be a pain in the bu*t.

Poppy Blue loves her life as a hedge witch in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. She loves her magick shop, her headstrong mother Fiona, her dessert-crazy stepfather, and the new man in her life, Roger. Her employees Vanessa and new hire Jordan are proving to wield some magic of their own.

Of course things never run smoothly for long. Poppy's Aunt Lindy is coming for a family visit, and she's bringing her younger, vain, superficial model-wannabee daughter Plenty, who they joke is plenty of trouble. Their private joke isn't so funny as Plenty storms into town, disrupting everybody’s love life with her botched magic, and in general, leaving mayhem in her wake.

3. Tricks and Treats
Flame-haired witch Poppy Blue literally stumbles into a mess one morning as she’s about to open her northern Michigan magick shop. And that’s just the beginning.

From there it’s a series of spills, splatters and tumbles. To complicate things, Poppy’s mother Fiona has decided to quit smoking, and she is channeling her energies into some unusually creative — and sometimes creatively cruel — pursuits.

At least Poppy's love life is on course, as things continue to heat up between her and handsome Roger Montgomery, especially when aided by some flashy loans from Fiona's closet. Ultimately it’s up to Poppy, in between dodging flying pink pasta and fixing problems that pop up in her shop, to figure out if the culprit is an angry ghost, a curse, or if it’s something else entirely. Fortunately she has Fiona on her side, because no one is going to mess with Poppy. That is, after all, Fiona's job.

4. A Spot of Bother
Thanksgiving is imminent and there's more than turkey on the menu.

To start with, Poppy Blue has been invited to spend the holiday with her main man's family. She already knows his horndog brother, and briefly met his mother, but on this day it'll be time to meet their gruff, outspoken father, and to spend some quality time with their chatty, wine-swilling mother. Throw in some quirky relatives coming from practically the middle of nowhere, and it'll be a memorable one, to say the least.

Then, Poppy's ex and good friend Scott is readying to open his brewpub. He's got some good beers on tap, a tasty menu and a great location, but there's a problem. The spot has a history of failure. Among its many previous incarnations were a pub with more fistfights than customers; an eatery that reeked of cabbage; and a pizza place that only seemed to serve burnt crusts or gooey doughs. Scott hopes he'll be the one to break the bad luck spell, but when one thing after another goes wrong for him and his partners, it's up to Poppy -- with a little help from her meddling mother Fiona and a curious stranger -- to find out what's made this place such a spot of bother.
