A Hint of Magic

*She's looking for a hint of magic in her world...
Dora Carridine is fed up with her life as a preacher’s daughter and sets out to explore the darker side of life instead. If she can find some magic in the world, then maybe she will find a place she belongs.

When she comes across a coven of witches, she takes on their trials to try and join them. But the witches aren’t all they appear to be, and Dora finds herself slipping into a darker world than she imagined.

She has to make a choice to do the right thing, but Dora’s never been very good at doing anything right…*

A Hint of Magic is a free paranormal comedy novella and the prequel to the funny supernatural series The Demon Diaries. As well as being Dora's origins story, the book begins the series with Dora's first exploration into the supernatural world.

"Wildly, bizarrely, brain-punchingly inventive!" - Derek Landy, Author of Skulduggery Pleasant.

Interview with the Author
Q - What kind of reader would like this book?
A - I think this book will appeal to readers who are looking for laugh out loud comedy and madcap action in a supernatural world. The stories are fast-moving, humorous fantasy adventures, which explore Heaven and Hell and everything in between. The series comes with a kickass gothic heroine, demons, werewolves, vampires, angels and even fairies and dragons in the mix. So if you love supernatural and comedy, then you'll probably like these books.

Q - Have you been writing for a long time?
A - Yes. I was first published in 1994, and since then I've written and published many books, including writing for Harlequin and winning the SYTYCW competition. It's been a fun journey so far. I've had the opportunity to work with and learn from some of the best writers in the world along the way, which has been amazing.

Q - What's so special about The Demon Diaries?
A - I think for me the special parts are the funny scenes. Is it bad that I laugh while I write these books? Because I do, all the time. But along with that, I love the wild adventures. I love that there are parody and satire moments that play with occult and urban myths in each story. I love the sorcery, spells and magic in the series. The romance is bright spark in a crazy, dark world. It's just a wild adventure, and I think that's what I find special about the series.

Thanks for reading!
