A Circle of Two: Book of Newport

With this first novel, I wanted to build a world of Magik that is barely hidden, populated by characters that learn to support each other in modern-day Newport, RI. They find that Magik is more than genetics and is governed by Melton’s Three Laws of Magikal Motions. These laws extract a price for every good or evil spell or incantation. Played out against the picturesque background of Newport and Middletown, Rhode Island, the girls have to deal with high school, a mean girl with dormant Magikal powers that erupt in very dangerous ways. A school dance, a Magikal storm that mixes with a real storm and other challenges mix against the backdrop of a typical modern New England seaside city.
