As Above, So Below

Becca had made her peace with being ordinary. Magic had other ideas.

By midlife, Becca enjoyed predictable days and laundry that behaved itself. What she did not want were peculiar powers staining everything she touched, especially the sort that misfired, sparkled at the wrong moments, and attracted far too much attention.

When the Lammas blessing goes spectacularly wrong and Hardingstone’s crops begin to act strangely, Becca’s long-dormant magic bursts into life with all the subtlety of a runaway pig. Before she can ignore it and hope it will pass, she’s roped into a coven of mysterious elder witches and saddled with a sarcastic talking dog called Bran. As if her life wasn’t already turned upside down, she’s then confronted by Fairfax, an infuriating and stranded sailor, who arrives with chaos rigged.

Worse, she’s informed her unpredictable new powers are vital to saving the village and harvest through an ancient ritual. With an All Hallows deadline looming, Becca must learn to live with magic she never asked for - and the well-intentioned friends who won’t let her face it alone.

Can the coven save Hardingstone before the source of the stink exposes them all? And will Becca, Fairfax, and Bran ever settle the age-old question of which is better — a bacon or a sausage sandwich?

Cosy, chaotic, and full of charm, As Above, So Below is a feel-good Elizabethan historical fantasy romp about late-blooming magic, village mishaps, and discovering that found family has a habit of turning up uninvited and refusing to leave, no matter how purple or flatulent things become.

Discover a magical hidden realm where fae, vampires, witches and daemons exist alongside mortals in a time when magic was very real.
