Cozy fantasies! Think Gilmore Girls mixed with Practical Magic and Buffy, set on Prince Edward Island. My goal is to blend heart, humor, with all the autumnal, Halloween vibes. The Late-Night Witches is about love, family, self-discovery—and the small matter of clearing a red-sand island of vampires before Halloween night comes to an end.
About:
Canadian author - perpetual night-owl - psychology & English lit nerd - tea-drinker (Earl Grey forever) - mother of three fabulous children, two chaos kittens, and one big, messy dog
Interests include playing soccer badly but enthusiastically, writing in a backyard shed with super specific notebooks and colored pens, spending evenings watching a mixture of trash TV, BBC mysteries and whatever everyone else is watching
What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:
• Someone who can imagine what it’s like to juggle three kids with vampire slaying
• Relishes Buffy-era nostalgia, B-movie vibes, and quick banter
• Loves complicated family dynamics (in particular siblings, kids, and eccentric aunts who live by the sea)
• Prefers magic served with humor and a slice of pumpkin bread
• Enjoys crisp autumn settings, red beaches, and PEI charm
• Cheers for ordinary people discovering extraordinary courage
What to expect if we're compatible:
• Seasonal witchy stories perfect for reading under a blanket on a stormy night
• Laugh-out-loud moments followed by all the feels
• A guaranteed magical happy ending
An enchantingly warm and funny novel about family, love lost and found, discovering who you are, and how difficult it is to slay a vampire from the beloved national bestselling author of the TikTok sensation In the Company of Witches.
Cassie Beckett’s life is anything but magical. With a wild younger sister, three unruly kids, and an absent husband, she’s really not looking forward to the witching month of October. At least the gorgeous, foggy Prince Edward Island is always quiet.
That is, until the vampires arrive.
As the creatures sink their teeth into Cassie’s tenuous grip on normalcy, she’s forced to come face-to-face with long–disregarded family secrets. The legacy gifts her with power, but also a lofty responsibility: rid the island of vampires, or let them win. (Both options suck, in more ways than one.)
Armed with her family, newfound friends, and a baby in a spectacularly garlicky onesie, Cassie must learn what it is to be a witch and how to fight for what she loves before time runs out. Because on Halloween night, the stakes will be higher than ever before...and it’s up to Cassie to finish what the witches that came generations before her started.
