It's release day! SEASON OF THE WITCH is now available on Amazon on KU or for sale. The paperback will be up in a few days. I'm just waiting on the final cover art. FOR THE FREE BOOK PROMOTION, SCROLL DOWN.
Season of the Witch was inspired by a dream I had in September 2024. I dreamt I was in Amish country again and visited a house Keira Andrews had up for sale! (Keira Andrews is a fellow m/m romance writer who has also written a series with Amish protagonists). I found this quite curious when I woke up and decided it was a prompt for me to return to Lancaster County and write a new Amish-themed romance. Thank you, Dream Muses!
This story involves a bit of "woo woo" because the Amish MC is a braucher, a practitioner of Amish folk magic and healing. The details are based on real folk magic. :-) I hope you all enjoy it. The full blurb is below.

BLURB:
Elijah fled his grandfather's house one fateful night, choosing to leave the Amish order rather than submit to the old man's commands. He finds refuge at Pig bottom Farm, a rescue run by a fellow ex-Amish, Samuel, and his husband. Elijah prays Samuel never finds out who he really is--a brujah, or practitioner of Amish folk magic, and grandson of the most powerful brujah in Lancaster County. Such practice is forbidden among the Amish, and Samuel would surely want nothing to do with him.
Jon has been a farmhand at Pig Bottom Farm for two years, ever since he left his home in Louisiana and the tragedy that happened there. He doesn’t like people, and he resents having a homeless nineteen-year-old hanging around, no matter how beguiling and mysterious the 'kid' may be. When Jon begins to find signs around the farm that remind him of the folk magic he grew up with, he knows Elijah is not the innocent farm boy he pretends to be.
Elijah left the Amish, but he can't escape the spiritual gifts that are in his blood. Some will want to use his power, some will fear it, and one will be compelled to love and protect him. When bad brujah come, Elijah must risk everything to save the family that cast him out.
This story features faith healing, Amish folk magic, a feisty Cajun farmhand, lots of pigs and other rescued farm animals, enemies-to-lovers, found family, fate, and a happily ever after.
