Shadow Cast
The Hawthorne University Witch Series Book 6
by A.L. Hawke
Genre: Paranormal Fantasy Romance
You can't cast shadows in
darkness.
It's the start of my second year of
graduate school at Hawthorne University. (I wasn't canned, okay?)
Bryce and our dean organize an orientation meeting to recruit
witches. Yep, it's time to teach Alondra's "honors"
program.
Everything goes fine until that slithery
snake-witch, Adder, barges into my home. She claims I'm cursing her
master, Enora, haunting the dreams of her Abaddon coven. I'm not.
Honest. But sometimes Alondra pops up inside me, acting outside of my
control.
We hold a séance to ask the ghost possessing me
to go away. I don’t see ghosts or spirits. I see evil. But you
know, it’s funny, no one else seems to.
My sole mastery
of necromancy might just be enough to protect Bryce and my unborn
baby—or save my greatest adversary.

The Hawthorne University Witch Series Book 5
When evil lands on my doorstep.
While
Bryce and I are finally enjoying some quiet time together, a dark,
shadowy figure crashes into our door. And it isn’t a small black
bird this time. A devil is hurt, asking for my help.
Well,
I just have too many problems of my own now. People don’t want to
talk to me. And Bryce isn’t touching me. So what’s a witch to do?
Haul up my legs, sit on a pentagram in a circle of candles, and
murmur to myself.
My best friend Maddie thinks I’m under
a curse. But, honestly, I feel like I have to do whatever it takes to
save this town, even if it means teaming up with my archenemy witch
Enora.
Evil empowers me. But this dark spellcasting also
intends to drive a stake right through my heart and the heart of
Hawthorne University. See, not only am I feeling alone, I’m getting
expelled.
Cadence Hawthorne returns in this fifth book

Witch Mirror
The Hawthorne University Witch Series Book 4
Reflections of a wicked
witch.
Bryce and I are trying to revive Alondra’s
old metaphysical history class. We’re in college again, this time
teaching. But It’s stressful under our former teacher’s shadow.
Not only that, there’s a new demon-witch messing with my love life.
So I’m going through that again. Well, at least this time I have
Alondra’s magic to protect me.
Actually, not only do I
have her magic, her spirit is inside me, possessing me. But don’t
worry, Alondra’s ghost is a positive force here to help Hawthorne.
I mean…are you good, Alondra?
A witch council is
gathering at my house to reflect on ways to save us. They’re
convinced Alondra is evil, but Alondra and I are unsure they know
what they’re doing. Well, if I can’t hold things together—inside
and outside of myself—I fear my plans of finishing graduate school
at Hawthorne U. and starting a family are going to shatter.

Bryce
stops his old gray BMW before a rickety old wooden bridge. He has to drive
slowly so we don’t dive through the wooden planks and crash into the water
below. The bridge is not much wider than his car. I hate seeing this bridge
again. Not only is it always a legitimate danger to our lives, it was sort of
the beginning of the Samhain Witch’s freak show. But I don’t hate Geneva
Forest. All these trees are like home. Of course, as if the broken-down bridge
weren’t bad enough, at the end of the bridge is a wall of white fog. That looks
hellishly ominous, too, like we’re going to be swallowed by the white smoke
after we cross over. Mira’s black van is behind us. We wait for her and, like
last Halloween, she’s probably more worried than Bryce about falling through
the wooden boards with her heavier van.
“She’s
here,” says Afreyea, seated behind me, in her thick accent. That freaks me out.
Gala is sitting beside her. “You feel her?”
“No,”
Bryce grunts, but it actually sounds more like he’s saying “yes.”
Flakes
of ice start hitting the windshield. Snow? In mid-March? What the hell? Isn’t
all this weird enough? There’s not a cloud in the sky.
“It
could totally be Hansel and Gretel, you know, Bryce,” I say. “She could be
luring us inside to eat us.”
“I
don’t see candy,” Bryce says, shaking his head. “That house, if you remember,
was more like a fly-infested dung heap.”
“Beelzebub,”
says Gala.
“Huh?”
I ask.
“Beelzebub,”
Gala repeats in her Romanian accent. “Lord of the flies.”
O-k-a-y. You know, these witches are supposed
to protect us, right? We’re supposed to have a full-on witch showdown and kick
some witch ass. So why does Gala sound scared? Then, to make it worse, Afreyea
is whispering. At first, I thought she was muttering something about Beelzebub.
No, she’s chanting an incantation in another language.
Ice
now covers our windshield, and Bryce has to slow the car to a crawl and run his
windshield wipers.
A
rush of water splashes my passenger window and makes me jump. Did Bryce drive
over a puddle? No, he has almost stopped. Is this the start of black magic
shit?
I
look back and see something I wish I hadn’t. Afreyea’s eyes are wide open.
Apparently, the water splashing scared her.
“She’s
here,” Afreyea says. “Brought your book, Cadence?”
Uh,
I sure did.
“We
end this now, Aurora,” Gala says. “We finally end this, sister.”
What are your top 10 favorite books/authors?
Here’s ten of my favorites:
Twilight, Gabriel’s Inferno, Wicked, Dune, Carrie,
Frankenstein, The Mists of Avalon, The Crystal Cave, The Little Prince
What book do you think everyone should read?
The Yellow Wallpaper
How long have you been writing?
Nine years. Publishing for five. I wrote for four years
before publishing my first book. In fact, I think I wrote about four epic
fantasy novels and a sci fi before that first novel. The unpublished books
really helped me learn my craft.
Do the characters all come to you at the same time or do
some of them come to you as you write?
They just appear during the story. Cora, the goddess
Persephone, one of my major characters in so many of my books, just
spontaneously traipsed her way into Hades’ underground lair one time while
writing one book. She was created from the image of that very scene and used in
over ten more of my novels ever since.
What kind of research do you do before you begin writing a
book?
Well, my witch series has heavy magic research. A lot of it
is done by—sorry, scholars—youtube. I also google quite a bit of information. I
don’t have time to completely read a book. I did read one book on voodoo, Witch,
Queens, Voodoo Spirits and Hoodoo Saints by Denise Alvarado, because I felt
like my knowledge on the subject was so lacking. I also picked up a few
Aleister Crowley books.
