Bio: I’m the author of the ongoing series “The Fay Morgan Chronicles” as well as dozens of short stories that have been published widely and some as yet unpublished young adult fantasy and science fiction books. I am lucky to be represented by the wonderful Linda Epstein with the Jennifer DeChiara Literary Agency. I’ve been nominated for a Nebula Award and attended the Clarion West Writers Workshop. I have also been on the jury for the Andre Norton Award for Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy for three years running. I started writing seriously fifteen years ago when I decided that I might as well do what I love and feel passionate about, because if I didn’t take myself seriously, who would? When not writing about an immortal witch and a doomed girl in San Francisco, I spend my time chasing two young children around, enjoying Seattle’s ample and lovely gloom, and being an active participant in social and environmental justice issues. ~ Katherine Sparrow

✤ BOOK ONE—The Magician's Mistake (Jan 19, 2015): In the first novella in The Fay Morgan Chronicles, after centuries of wreaking chaos on the world, Morgan le Fay now lives a mundane life in Seattle. She tends to her Wiccan shop, keeps an eye out on the city's supernatural denizens, and tries not to care that so many of her memories are faded and tattered. Just a fact of immortality, she thinks, along with the endless and steady boredom of life. But then two men stumble through her door. The first is a werewolf. The second? He seems familiar, though she has no memories of him. Soon Morgan is dragged into a mystery surrounding a lost amulet, trolls, and a mysterious witch hell-bent on revenge who doesn't care if she hurts Morgan or any of her friends.

Lila has no idea any of this is going on, but does know that she's sick of Morgan moping around, and that she desperately needs her friend and mentor's help because the paranormal denizens of Seattle are all starting to act sort of... evil.
