Paranormal | Romance

From the author of Secret of a Thousand Beauties and Peach Blossom Pavilion comes a beautifully written novel of self-discovery and intrigue.
 
Chinese-American assistant professor Eileen Chen specializes in folk religion at her San Francisco college. Though her grandmother made her living as a shamaness, Eileen publicly dismisses witchcraft as mere superstition. Yet privately, the subject intrigues her.
 
When a research project takes her to the Canary Islands—long rumored to be home to real witches—Eileen is struck by the lush beauty of Tenerife and its blend of Spanish and Moroccan culture. A stranger invites her to a local market where women sell amulets, charms, and love spells. Gradually Eileen immerses herself in her exotic surroundings, finding romance with a handsome young furniture maker. But as she learns more about the lives of these self-proclaimed witches, Eileen must choose how much trust to place in this new and seductive world, where love, greed, and vengeance can be as powerful, or as destructive, as any magic.

Re: The Witch's Market

I'm so happy that you came here today!! For a while, I was
wondering what happened to you, then I saw your latest book, and
knew you didn't leave us!! Your latest book is the most powerful
yet, on many levels, and I'm so anxious to read it, yet a bit
nervous- due to the subject matter. I enjoyed reading your
posting, and will say that the string break was circumstance -
not of your doing. You'd have to test that power out again to
see if it was really of your doing. Your book will be going on
my TBR list, and will make for a great read for my Winter reading
list. I can't wait to grab my cup of hot cocoa, and snuggle up
with your book, and at least one of my kitties, to read your
latest book!! Have a wonderful Christmas, and I wish you the
very best in the New Year!!

This book sounds so interesting. You mentioned calligraphy
in your post and reminded me of the calligraphy brushes I
bought in China a long time ago. Maybe I need to find them.
I am adding your books to my TBR list. I have also been to
the Canary Islands and love to read books that have places
I have visited.
