He's back in town and needs her help. But he died years ago!

October Cove is a quiet little town caught between its Old World heritage and the 21st century. Ivy-covered mansions line Midnight Lane. Frogley Manor is the oldest house in town. Some call it haunted. But 16-year-old Liv Bryant and her dad don’t mind a little history. Everything is peaceful.

At least it
was -- until a mysterious anniversary brings all the Frogleys back to October Cove and Liv’s childhood friend arrives with them, seeking Liv’s help. The only problem is Matt shouldn’t be here at all. He died years ago!

When Liv tries to figure out if he’s really who he claims to be, she’s not ready for the whole truth: Witches are real. Her dad's under a spell. And whoever Matt is, he’s out to stop the whole clan of honest-to-goodness, broom-riding, cauldron-bubbling, spell-binding witches. Worst of all, according to him Liv is the only person who can help him and his shape-shifting friend get the job done.

October Cove is a Halloween novella -- one part cozy, one part spooky -- featuring hot cocoa, autumn views, dog familiars, ghosts, and ghouls. Beware, Traveler: It also includes a bittersweet ending.
