Hidden Gypsy Magic
A Witch's Journey Book 3
by Tena Stetler
Genre: Paranormal Romance, Mystery 

The Salem Wildlife Sanctuary is Gwen Taylor's life work. Her Irish Gypsy heritage provides a hidden talent she uses to help the creatures under her care. But even her magical skills can't help new rescues in dire need of veterinary care.
The opportunity of signing on as the vet for Gwen's sanctuary dropped into Brock Scutter's lap after he expanded his practice to include wildlife. The personal attraction he and Gwen experience is undeniable the more their professional and personal lives collide.
Touring the only "non-haunted" house in Salem they both feel a spark of magic. A trip to his family's cabin uncovers a heritage he didn't know existed. If they want a future together, it means facing the consequences of awakening hidden Gypsy magic and a race against the clock to correct past wrongs.

Elemental witch, Pepper McKay and former Navy SEAL, Lathen Quartz have built Lobster Cove Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center on enchanted McKay land. During a romantic interlude on Halloween night, Pepper happily agrees to become Lathen’s wife. What better day than Winter Solstice for their wedding in a town that loves celebrations and Christmas. However, planning a wedding and operating their wildlife center takes a toll on both Pepper and Lathen.
When the couple takes a much-needed break for Thanksgiving with family in Colorado, a Maine snowstorm fills the center with injured wildlife. Lathen finds himself drawn into a covert military mission, while trying to deal with issues with friends and family. Pepper wants to cancel the wedding. Is she having second thoughts? Will the nosy McKay ghosts, Lathen's werewolf pack, Pepper's parents, and her best friend help or hinder the wedding and holiday plans?

Pepper McKay comes from a long line of powerful witches. Unfortunately, magic brings her nothing but trouble. She learned the love of wildlife rescue and rehab from her Aunt Ashling. After graduating from college, Pepper works for Salem Wildlife Sanctuary and lives from paycheck to paycheck until she inherits the McKay property in Lobster Cove. With the family land and resources, she dares to dream of starting her own wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center.
Lathen Quartz, a former Navy SEAL turned handyman maintains the enchanted McKay property for the McKay estate. But someone is trying to steal the McKay magic. Lathen offers to help Pepper achieve her life-long dream of building a wildlife center. During the long hours spent together on the project, their mutual attraction can’t be denied. But each harbors a deep, dark secret. Will they overcome their demons and give love a chance?





With the majestic Rocky Mountains just outside the window, I sit at my computer with vampires,demons, witches, faeries, and a variety of paranormal creatures gathered around telling me their stories! That makes me an author of paranormal romance novels and cozy mysteries with magic spark. The everyday world is mundane, but sprinkle a little magic and you have fantastic!
Colorado is home. I share my life with a wonderful husband of many moons, our brilliant Chow Chow, a terribly spoiled companion parrot, and a forty-year-old box turtle. We enjoy hiking, biking, and camping, also love water sports including kayaking and whitewater rafting, especially on the Arkansas River through the Royal Gorge.
Another passion of mine is reading a good novel. You can find me any winter evening curled up in front
of a crackling fire with a good book, a mug of hot chocolate, and a big bowl of popcorn. While growing up, if I didn’t like the ending of a book, I’d rewrite it, which led to writing my own books.
Reluctantly, I discovered that in real life it’s tough to rewrite an ending.



GUEST POST

Since I am a panster, my characters seem to hijack the story at every turn. Just about the time I think I have the reigns of the story—off they go in another direction usually taking the rest of the characters with them. It’s frustrating at times, but I so enjoy the creative journey. Would you believe, I write chapters out of order, and scenes out of order but in the end, everything always falls into place just like magic. LOL At times I’m as amazed as my readers to the outcome of the story. Though I have to admit my characters discovery of a lighthouse on the coast was a wonderful distraction for me being stuck at home due to events of COVID19.

Take for instance in HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC, I’m happily writing along and out of the blue, Gwen sticks her hand in a painting they found in the attic of the house Brock is looking to buy. When she pulls her hand out of the picture she’s holding a poppet (kinda like a voodoo doll) from back in 1793. Where the heck did that come from, I had no idea.

I was so stymied I got up from the computer and took my dog for a walk hoping figure out what would happen next. About a mile and a half through the walk, Gwen, my heroine, not so gently entered my thoughts and told me exactly what happened and why. Suddenly, my paranormal romance with a spark of mystery now has an element of time travel. I was so excited to get back to my novel, that my dog and I sprinted the rest of the way home. Gwen had discovered a secret so scandalous that I simply gawked at the computer screen as I typed the words. Trust me when I say, Gwen’s little foray off the planned path was a fantastic twist to the story!

I hope I’ve given you enough for you to want to take a peek at HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC. I’m sure you are going to love it. Especially if paranormal romance sprinkled with mystery and a little time travel tossed in is your thing.
