Holiday Spectacular: Sometimes Strange Magic Casts the Best Spell

December 31, 2021 By Kari Kilgore

Strange Magic WMG cover

Welcome to the last day of 2021, and get ready for a trip back to the final hours of the last millennium!

I’m delighted to share my contribution to this year’s Holiday Spectacular from WMG Publishing with Sometimes Strange Magic Casts the Best Spell. You may remember the setting from The Magic Cat of the Hidden Springs Inn and Spa and The Inn, the Black Cat, and Two Halves of the Same Heart, both featured in past Holiday Spectaculars.

This time we visit 1999, which those of us who’ve been around long enough to remember it know was a very strange time indeed. Especially those of us who worked in the IT field.

You can read Sometimes Strange Magic Casts the Best Spell free on this site until January 3rd, with my warm wishes for a Happy New Year in 2022!

And my deepest, most sincere hope that we all experience a whole lot less strange over the next twelve months and into the future.

Discover Cave Creek: Where the Unexpected Meets the Real World

May 5, 2021 By Kari Kilgore

Open Ended Threat cover

So excited to see all of these stories out in the world, and delighted to have one of my own included! I dug into my nerdy fascination with flowers and pollinators for this one, with a heavy dose of my lifelong love of all things Twilight Zone.

You’ll find “An Impossible Desert Flower” in Open Ended Threat, and stories from a bunch of my favorite writers in all four volumes of the Cave Creek series, including two from Jason A. Adams!
