Willow River, Vermont. A quaint town in the heart of the Green Mountains. Everything about fall there is lovely. The strikingly beautiful foliage, the cool brisk wind, the apple orchards, cider, cider donuts. The wooden buildings and barns, the storefronts, the riverside. The high schoolers in preparation for the town's gigantic Halloween celebration. However, there's a lot more to the town than the average leaf-peeper would think. Hell, there's more than even a resident knows. There is something lurking always, even if you think you're safe, you never are on the cold autumn ground.

What starts as a weekend of fun quickly spirals into a nightmarish struggle for survival as he encounters forces beyond his understanding.Complete
The Witch of Avery
When her great-aunt Georgia dies unexpectedly, Katie Rogers leaves her dead-end life in Tennessee to inherit the family curios shop in the small town of Avery, Vermont where she learned magic in the summers of her youth. Now, Katie can barely cast a decent hangover spell, and with so little power remaining in her gem necklace, she's running out of options. While her money-hungry mother and sister pressure her to seek help from an old flame, Katie struggles to keep the business afloat by herself while fending off help from the perky, intrusive mayor. But when a decades-old illness makes a stunning return to town, people cast their suspicions on the new witch, especially the annoyingly handsome Sheriff Holte. At least Katie has Allister to distract her-a smooth-talking salesman with a penchant for making deals and showing up at just the right time. As Katie's bad reputation grows, so do the mysterious circumstances surrounding Georgia's death. With the help of her friends, and her furry familiar Reggie, Katie uncovers the secrets of Avery, and a strength within herself that goes much deeper than the botched love spell that got her into this mess.
