1 y separately published work icon The Cursed Crow and the Deadly Hex Kelly Ethan , Campbell Town : Kelly Bowerman , 2020 20545598 2020 single work novel fantasy mystery

'With barely a breath to relax, Xandie Meyers and her family of Harrow witches now must deal with a new problem.

'One that dropped dead at their feet.

'Someone is targeting old members of Elspeth Harrow’s Morrigan Coven. The same Elspeth Harrow who happens to be Xandie’s long lost Grandmother.

'People are dying and all signs point to an inside job. Xandie has no choice but to swing into Sherlock librarian mode.

'Between bizarre accidents, a defanged vampire, reanimated animal corpses and a search for a missing doomsday device, Xandie barely has time to sniff out the killer. A villain that’s always two steps ahead. But whoever the murderer is they hadn’t counted on the stubbornness of Harrow witches and one nosy librarian.

'Can Xandie stop a supernatural apocalypse? Or will things that go bump in the night have her for a midnight snack?'

'Xandie Meyers thought all her troubles were over when she moved to Point Muse, Maine. Instead, she inherited her great-aunt’s supernatural library and a snarky, talking cat.

1 Two Worlds : Weaving Romance with Fantasy Kelly Ethan , 2009 single work criticism
— Appears in: Heart and Craft : Bestselling Romance Writers Share Their Secrets with You 2009; (p. 115-141)
Like any good story, a fantasy romance has to have a strong plot. Given most fantasy romances,in particular epic fantasies, tend to be of a much longer word count than traditional romances, usually in the 100 000-word range, the plot must be strong enough to carry the story right to the end. It might be sparked by a magazine article about nanotechnology or DNA. Or something I see on television. Some little thing that ignites my imagination and gets me excited.
