PAPERBACK. BOOK 1 OF THE WITCHES AND WISHES PARANORMAL COZY MYSTERY SERIES. 

Wishes, lies, and a touch of magic—what could possibly go wrong?

My name is Patience O'Reilly, and I make wishes come true.

But trust me—it’s not as easy as it sounds. People lie, mostly to themselves, about what will truly make them happy. That’s where I come in. I have to dig deeper, uncover the truth, and guide them toward what they really need. Oh, and did I mention I’m a white witch? That part stays strictly under wraps.

Take my latest client: the sweetest octogenarian you’ll ever meet. She thinks she just needs help cataloging her treasures so she can rest easy about her legacy. But the real problem? She’s lonely, and her family... well, they’re the kind that make you believe blood isn’t always thicker than water.

It should be a simple enough wish to grant, but when money and family are involved, “simple” goes out the window. And when things turn nasty—very nasty—it’s up to me to untangle the mess before it spells disaster.

A paranormal cozy mystery with all the feels!

Out January 31st!

 

READ A SAMPLE

I could work anywhere, and in my almost-forty human years, I’ve had several interesting jobs—all of them as a problem solver—until I fell into the latest, which so far is a perfect fit.
Each client is special and I’m drawn to help them in a variety of ways. As an example, my last position was accompanying two sisters in their seventies, who were living independently and wanted to spend their savings on a trip to Paris. The weather was perfect, they saw everything they’d dreamed of seeing, and they loved every minute. 
Though I may have tweaked a few things to make it so, and I don’t say that just to brag; they had the time of their lives. Plus, they learned a valuable lesson about enjoying life. They have since moved in together to share resources and are planning more trips. Job done!
I take great care and satisfaction in every problem solved, dream come true, or wish granted, and I’ve never failed yet. Which is why I never have to look for work.
I love being my own boss and being able to say yes or no to a potential new client is so freeing. I would like to help everyone, but there’s only so much time. Even for a witch.
People are mostly unaware of witches, though there are those who have a sense of us which we discourage where possible. White witches like me fly under the radar because we must. If it got out that I could make wishes come true ad hoc, I’d be inundated with people wanting to win the lottery, have someone fall in love with them, or human nature being what it is, requests to harm someone else. Imagine the chaos!
Rule #1. Balance in the world is everything and witches are bound to it just like everyone else. 
Since my current clients are mostly in an age bracket where nothing can be taken for granted, customer satisfaction is expected and naturally, there’s a lot of pressure to deliver in time. They have no idea what I can really do and for the most part, I try not to use my powers in an obvious way. 
Rule #2. Don’t draw attention to witchyness.
