Thornvale Witches

The Way of Wands and Wilds

Single mom. Witch. Chaos magnet. Definitely not in love. (Probably.)

I’ve got a full plate this summer – literally and magically. Between raising a teenage daughter with a newly awakened wand, my sister’s unexpected return with her shapeshifting familiar, and working nights as a nurse, there’s zero room in my life for romance.

Then Aiden Campbell moves in next door with a crooked smile, a suspicious amount of charm, and hot cocoa that should be illegal.

He’s a normie. A non-magical, wildly attractive problem I didn’t plan for.

But Aiden makes me laugh. He sees me. And every time he looks at me like I’m more than the sum of my responsibilities, I feel something stir – something I thought I’d buried years ago.

Falling for him would be a terrible idea. Which means I’m probably already halfway there.

With secrets brewing beneath the surface of Thornvale and old grudges threatening our coven’s wildwood… this is only the beginning.

The Way of Wands and Wilds is the cozy, witchy first book in the Thornvale Witches trilogy – a heartwarming paranormal romance full of midlife mayhem, magical sisterhood, and second chances that don’t always go according to plan.

The Way of Spells and Serpents

Book cover for The Way of Spells and Serpents paranormal witch romance novel by J.R. Pearse Nelson

Midlife witch. Tarot trainwreck. Haunted by more than regret.

I’m not saying I broke the universe with one reckless spell – but let’s just say the aftermath involves lost memories, stolen dreams, and a hot neighbor who doesn’t have a clue what we meant to each other.

As Samhain approaches, I’m focused on the fun stuff, like broken-hearted crystal ball readings and pulling tarot cards with my bestie, whose love life is going a lot better than mine.

I didn’t plan on my sister’s flirtation with black magic.

As for Aiden…he’s right next door, smiling like nothing happened. Offering me sweets. Laughing at my jokes. Looking at me like I’m still someone worth knowing. It’s not helping.

When the cards turned up Death, I assumed it meant the end of whatever we were. Now I’m not so sure.

The veil is thinning, and something’s coming through. Something ancient.

And Aiden can’t know about magic. Even if it could save us.

The Way of Spells and Serpents is book two in the Thornvale Witches trilogy – a heart-tugging, spell-stirring story of midlife magic, sisterhood, tarot warnings, and love that refuses to stay buried.
