waved her hands and shook her head. “I’m okay,” she wheezed.
“What’s so funny? And why are you looking so weird?” he said to Jamie.
“The date didn’t turn out like he expected,” Mila said.
“You met this chick on Spark, right?” Tyler said, naming a popular dating app. “You thought she was amazing.”
Mila collapsed onto the counter in a fit of giggles.
“What?” Tyler demanded, grinning too.
Arden looked back and forth among the three of them, wide-eyed. “Oh we have to hear this. Come on, Jamie.”
“Tell them, Jamie,” Mila choked out.
“Okay, okay. This chick seemed really perfect on Spark—hot, fun, a little geeky. Sounded perfect. So we met for a drink on Friday…turns out she’s a drag queen.”
“You mean he,” Mila corrected.
“Well, he’s Honey Deville onstage, but he introduced himself as Danny when I met him.”
Tyler and Arden burst out laughing at the same time.
“How did that even happen?” Tyler asked.
“It was totally my bad.” Jamie waved a hand. “That’s the embarrassing part. I’ve never used Spark before, and I didn’t read the whole bio or swipe through all his pictures, so I just saw the Honey picture.”
“But here’s the best part.” Mila waved a hand at Jamie to go on.
“He was a really nice guy,” Jamie said. “So I stayed, and we had a few beers. It was a fun evening.” He hitched one shoulder and shut the door of the dishwasher, looking around at them all earnestly.
Tyler laughed. “Are you seeing him again?”
“Not on a date. But we might hang out and play Call of Duty sometime.”
“Oh, Jamie.” Arden shook her head, an affectionate smile brightening her face.
Tyler looked at her across the small room. There it was—the smile. The one that had made his knees weak and his heart stutter. It lit up her eyes and transformed her face from girl next door to glamour queen.
And goddammit…it still made his heart stutter.

Acknowledgments
This book would not have happened if it weren’t for my friend, author PG Forte. I wanted to write a story about a witch for a long time, and when my brain got “pandemic stuck” it seemed like a good time to try something new. But as I got into the story, I totally doubted myself and my ability to pull this off. PG read my rough partial draft, gave me fabulous feedback, and encouraged me to keep going. I couldn’t have done this without you, PG!
As always, it takes a team to do this. Thank you to my assistant and rock Stacey Price, who stays steady and positive even when I screw up release dates and turnaround times for edits. Thanks to the gang at Social Butterfly PR for getting this book out to reviewers, bloggers, and bookstagrammers. Thanks to all my fellow authors who also helped get the word out by allowing me to post in your groups and sharing! Thank you to Victory Editing for the quick line edits when I messed up dates, and for the positive feedback! And once again, mega huge thanks to Kristi Yanta for her amazing editing skills. You totally got what I wanted to do with this story and helped bring that out.
And special thanks to you—thank you for reading! I tried something new and different, and I had fun doing it even knowing it might not be for everyone. I am deeply grateful to readers who took a chance and read Big Witch Energy.
