Witch High

High school can often be the most influential period in a teenager's life. Enduring friendships are formed and possible directions for the future are explored. For some it is a time to shine, for others just four years to be gotten through. And, of course, there are high schools attended by students with special talents, like music and art, or science and mathematics. But what if there was a school that catered to those rarest of students--people with the talent to perform actual magic?

The fourteen original tales included in WITCH HIGH explore the challenges that students of the magical arts may face in a high school of their very own. If you think chemistry is difficult, try studying alchemy. If you ever fell victim to a school bully, how would you deal with a bully gifted with powerful magic? If you ever wished for extra time to study for those exams, could the right spell give you all the time you could possibly need?

These are just a few of the magical adventures that will wait you when you enter SALEM TOWNSHIP PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL #4, a place where Harry Potter and his friends would feel right at home.

Why Did I Write This Book?

The minute I heard the title of this anthology, the story for "Late Bloomer" sprang into my head. I hadn't previously written a young adult story (well, except when I was one <g>), but I had a blast doing it. Those tumultuous, emotional high school days came flooding back as I threw Abbi into the first scary days at high school. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
