Abracadabra
by K. Stevens
Genre: Paranormal Urban Fantasy
Magic and mayhem are his middle names. Figuratively. Not literally. He's not sure he even has a middle
name, let alone two.
Rod's a trickster by trade, magician by hobby, and thief by night. But when an old friend hunts him down
and asks a favor, he can't refuse. Mostly because she'll likely try to kill him before asking again. But also
because it presents a very interesting puzzle: to hunt down what a half-elf, magic weapons, and a killer-
led cult of shapeshifters have to do with each other.
Lucky for him, Rod has the ability to be in three places at once. The problem? Even he can't always tell
which him is the real him.

From an early age, K. Stevens devoured all things magical and mystical. To this day, she hesitantly
struggles to keep one foot in reality while the rest of her remains firmly rooted in the fantastic and insane.
In 2015, she finally worked up enough courage to share her stories with more than just her family, and
was encouraged by the fact that she wasn’t eaten alive for it. She may be the crazy lady that talks to
bugs and stares incessantly into the sky, but don’t mind her. She’s just thinking.

Tell
us about your main characters- what makes them tick?
Rod
is one of those that has been around for a very, very, VERY long
time. He’s seen things come and go, wars fought, and people he
thought he was close to die off while he remained. He’s got a
tinsey bit of abandonment issues, but these don’t come out as
clingy so much as they do ‘disinterested’. He figured out that if
he remains distant from others (to a certain extent), then it won’t
hurt so much when they leave him...and his general attitude is that
everyone will leave him eventually, either through walking out or
dying. He’s not completely absolutist, though, as there are a few
exceptions due to their own lifespans and survival interest -- and
Olyvia is one of those people. It’s one of the reasons he so
carefully guards her without actively guarding her; he can’t stand
the idea of someone taking her away from him, but yet refuses to get
completely attached to her.
As
for Olyvia herself, she keeps others at arms length due to
an...unfortunate past that constantly makes her think of herself as a
monster. Instead of wallowing in sorrow or sulking away into a cave,
however, she’s dedicated herself to this idea (so she thinks) and
refused to admit there might be more to the story. She’s fairly
long-lived, and in that time has become confident in her own ability
to think and fight her way through any given problem. She resents
feeling trapped, pressured, or someone lording secret knowledge over
her, but her lifetime has taught her patience and restraint...which
is what makes it so much harder to deal with Layla, the half-elf that
is a puzzle unto herself.
