The SERIOUSLY series . . .
The SERIOUSLY series . . .
is a lighthearted, magical series aimed at tween readers. Cam knows she doesn't want to become a wicked witch like her mother. . . but then who does she want to be? Over the course of the three books, she wrestles with boy-band demons, garage dragons, werewolf toddlers, friendships, and first crushes--all while trying to discover if it's possible to be both powerful AND good.
PREQUEL: "That Seriously Obnoxious Time I Was Stuck at Witch Rimelda's One Hundredth Birthday Party."
This one is a short story, not a book! But it's a prequel, and I put it here to show where it fits. This story grew out of a two-sentence anecdote in Seriously Wicked, about a disastrous pool party involving giant inflatable kraken. It got cut for time, but I thought it would be fun expanded into a short story.
