A Letter to Three Witches

This podcast episode is brought to you by A Letter to Three Witches by Elizabeth Bass.

Y’all, this book is pitched as Bewitched meets Practical Magic and I know someone just hit pause to go find this book.

Nearly a century ago, Gwen Engel’s great-great-grandfather cast a spell with catastrophic side-effects. As a result, the Grand Council of Witches forbade his descendants from practicing witchcraft. The Council even planted anonymous snitches called Watchers in the community to report any errant spellcasting…

Yet magic may still be alive and not so well in Zenobia. Gwen and her cousins, Trudy and Milo, receive a letter from Gwen’s adopted sister, Tannith, informing them that she’s bewitched one of their partners and will run away with him at the end of the week. While Gwen frets about whether to trust her scientist boyfriend, currently out of town on a beetle-studying trip, she’s worried that local grad student Jeremy is secretly a Watcher doing his own research.

Cousin Trudy is so stressed that she accidentally enchants her cupcakes, creating havoc among her bakery customers—and in her marriage. Perhaps it’s time the family took back control and figured out how to harness their powers. How else can Gwen decide whether her growing feelings for Jeremy are real—or the result of too many of Trudy’s cupcakes?

Witchcraft and enchanted cupcakes. Now I’m hungry! You can find A Letter to Three Witches by Elizabeth Bass wherever books are sold. Find out more at KensingtonBooks.com.

    @SBSara:

    The sponsor book sounds like the 1949 movie A Letter to Three Wives.

  2. Stefanie Magura says:

    And a story about Valentine’s candy:

    One year when my nephew was quite small, mom got him and my niece m&ms. She asked him which color he wanted and he said “how about pink.” Spoiler alert: This bag did not have pink m&ms, but mom made sure to get him a bag of those for Valentine’s Day.

  3. Chris k says:

    I was just thinking about how the thin mints don’t taste minty! They are not very good. It’s disappointing. I wonder if they had to change Ingredients or idk but no mint! It’s very weird.

  4. Kareni says:

    Well, now I’m not unhappy that I didn’t order any Thin Mints!

    Thanks for a fun episode.

  5. Sarah F says:

    I am so excited to hear about Part of Your World! As a Minnesotan, I knew Abby Jimenez as Food Network baking champion and the founder of Nadia Cakes, but I had NO IDEA she wrote romance!!! I’m so excited to read a romance set in my state while eating a gourmet cupcake created by the author!!!
