      About Manifestations

      Love’s bonds should never be eternal.

      Can Derik help his fiancé Heather manifest her innate witch powers to ward off a malevolent spirit trying to consume her soul?

      This book is in dedication to Britt and Livy, who are two very strong girls that I’ve had the pleasure to see grow into strong women.

      Acknowledgments

      This book along with two others, have taken a long time to get completed. Writers always like to devote 22 of the 24 hours in a day to write, but it doesn’t always happen that way because we live lives outside of our characters.

      This writer knows all too well that sometimes life gets in the way of writing. It is with this bit of knowledge that I’d like to thank some very special people and writers that kept me sane throughout the process of grieving for my grandmother and mother.

      May 18, 2017, is the two-year anniversary of my grandmother’s death and December 12, 2017, marks it for my mother.

      Scott, Britt, Liv, Deb, Jen, Tom, Clara, and Elizabeth, our family might be a little smaller, but the love you continue to show me enlarges it to full capacity!

      John, I’m glad we have remained friends over the years. Constants are welcome in life when things become turbulent. I am glad that you are one of my constants. Words cannot express how thankful I am that you were there for my family and me during such a difficult period. You are a great friend.

      Jay and Carrie, you have always been there, and I know you always will be. These past few years were difficult for both of our families, and I’m grateful for friends like you to lean on.

      Paul and Caryl, you both also trudged through all the good and bad times with my family and me. And before I belt out a karaoke tune, let me say that I’m so thankful to count both of you in my close-knit circle of friends too.

      Karen, your friendship with my family and I is something I cherish because you are truly a sister. Thank you for always being there.

      Angus and Brenna, I have always cherished your support of me as an author and as a friend. Thank you for your supportive and caring nature.

      C.D., we seem to be veterans when it comes to the number of anthologies we have done together in the past. I considered you one of my wing women on many occasions. I cannot thank you enough for all of your help and camaraderie.

      Chapter

      One

      The house was perfect. It had everything on her wish list, large updated kitchen and great room for entertaining. A decent sized yard for the dog she had always wanted. And it even overlooked Masterbon pond, a bonus since she loved water.

      The master bath’s new fixtures and glass tiles glistened in the sunlight. The feature of the room, however, was the claw-footed tub that anchored the large picture window, a divine feature for any woman. But the best feature of all had to be the huge walk-in closet, which equaled the size of her entire studio apartment.

      Heather Young’s belly grew tight with fear to ask the realtor the listing price of this gem. It became painfully doubtful that this spacious beauty could be in her price range. Deep within her gut, she found she didn’t care. Heather wanted the house and started to possess a need to do everything in her power to get it no matter what the cost.

      She started a hunt for things wrong with the place in hopes of striking up a good deal, but her attempts proved feeble since the water pressure looked good and so did the pipes, roof, foundation, and furnace.

      Heather Young loved a good buy. She looked for them everywhere in her life. Bargain hunting became a thrill even though she seldom shopped for herself. When she did, she had a set price in mind before she ventured out the door. Her budget always dangled over her like a hangover. She rarely swayed from it.

      A must-have item didn’t exist in her vocabulary, especially at full price. Clearance became a way of life for her, in fact, she considered those racks family and not just a mere friend. Getting things at a decent price proved to be a matter of principle to her, especially since she understood that clothing had a 70 percent markup, a little tidbit of information she had learned many years ago while working retail management.

      The other side to this principal is business economics. Simply put, if she started buying that must-have item at a ridiculously high price just because she wanted it, the item would stay at a ridiculously high price simply because someone bought it for that amount. This, she judged to be completely unfair to others since the average American found it nearly impossible to purchase anything these days.

      It became more of a sense of duty to Heather to hold out. If she showed some restraint, prices would be reasonable for her and other consumers. Heather never called herself cheap, but she believed Ben Franklin would approve her frugality.

      It’s going for $180,000. The realtor said.

      Heather’s eyes widened with each word forming from the Realtor’s lips. She found it hard to fathom what she heard and almost asked the realtor to repeat herself, but as Heather opened her mouth, a twinge swelled in her belly and her throat went dry.

      That listing price was a huge bargain in the state of Connecticut, Plymouth especially. She didn’t want to even gander as to why a house like this priced for so low on the market but assumed it had to have something to do with the housing bubble bursting. This a great deal and one she’d easily afford, so she put in a bid and crossed her fingers and toes.

      The next morning came and no phone call from the realtor graced Heather’s cell. She bit her lip slightly while glancing at the sparse notifications she did receive on her phone and replaying thoughts of yesterday.

      A bid of $170,000, $10,000 lower than the asking price, may not have been wise but at the time her paranoia of looking too desperate for the house
