Hey there, fellow book lovers! I'm super excited to share a sneak peek into my latest novel, Pirates and Witches and Other Obsessions. This story is a wild ride narrated by Mycroft Westlock, who’s actually telling it to us from the future. Yep, he time-traveled back to our time to give us a heads-up about what’s coming our way. It's not exactly a cautionary tale, but more like a glimpse into a future that’s barreling toward us—unless, of course, things change.
Let’s dive into the four main characters who make this story come alive.

Mycroft Westlock is our narrator. He grew up in Pollyhollow, a quaint Earth-based town, raised by his guardians, the Habborlains. Though Pollyhollow is the only home he’s ever known, stories of his parents have always lingered in his heart. Mycroft’s relationship with his parents is pretty strained, so anyone who's dealt with family drama or loss will totally get his struggle. He's driven by this almost blind faith that he can piece everything back together. This quest is what propels him through the story, leading us on his wild, explosive, and sometimes downright crazy adventure as he grapples with his future and tries to rewrite the past.

Then there’s Celestine, Mycroft’s younger sister. She’s a bit more balanced but fiercely loyal to her brother. Growing up on the same stories about their parents, she’s always been Mycroft’s rock. Wherever he goes, she follows, always ready to have his back when things get tough. Together, they’re an unstoppable team, with Celestine often being the one who keeps Mycroft grounded.

Next up, meet Captain Travis. This guy is the epitome of a carefree pirate, but don’t let that fool you. While his crew often knows more about the kids and the intricacies of time travel, Captain Travis becomes central to the story when Mycroft shakes up his life. Here’s the kicker—Captain Travis is Mycroft and Celestine’s dad from twenty years ago. He’s the type who never backs down from a fight, and he’s the key player in the battle against the Queen’s evil schemes.

Finally, we have Savina Moonfall. Raised in a coven in an Earth-based town, Savina’s power has always made her a target for the Queen, who’s at war with anyone more powerful than herself. Savina takes the story from a heartwarming reunion tale to an epic battle for freedom. She’s fighting for a world where witches and pirates aren’t hunted and where the past remains untouched.
These characters are going to pull you into their world and keep you hooked. I can't wait for you to meet them and get lost in their adventures. Pirates and Witches and Other Obsessions will be hitting online bookshelves next year, so stay tuned for a journey you won’t forget!
