Claudia Cho woke up and chose violence.

The Commander of the Guardians greets the first day of magical summer camp with irritation and exasperation, and things only go downhill from there. Besides teaching a chucklehead an important lesson, there's Community politics and a hunting party in trouble. Oh, and she better not miss dinner again. The one thing Claudia is afraid of is disappointing the love of her life.

Sticks & Stones is a paranormal women's fiction novelette and a standalone prequel to Witch Hazel & Wolfsbane.

Tropes:

  • Grumpy middle-aged witch

Emily Michel

Emily Michel read her first fairy tale before kindergarten and has been fascinated with speculative fiction of all kinds ever since. She’s traveled the world as a military family member, calling many places in the US and Europe home. She settled in Arizona a few years ago with her husband and kids.

When not writing, Emily reads, walks, crochets, and pets her feline overlords. Emily has volunteered her time to community organizations for the past twenty years and looks forward to taking a break in 2022 to concentrate on her writing and editing, which is a nice way of saying she’s tired and needs some “me time.”
