Synopsis: Townie. That’s what eighteen-year-old Christina Sundy is. All year round she lives in a one-stoplight town on Cape Cod and when summer comes she spends her days scooping ice cream for rich tourists, who she hates. So when one of them takes a job in the ice cream shop alongside her, she’s pissed. Why does a blonde and perky Harvard-bound rich girl like Reese Manning want to scoop ice cream anyway? 

Something else weird is happening to Christina: tiny blue sparks seem to be shooting off her fingers. It isn’t long before she realizes the truth about herself — she’s actually a powerful hereditary witch. But her newfound powers are too intense for her to handle and, in a moment of rage, she accidentally zaps Reese into another dimension. 

So that no one will notice that the rich girl has disappeared, Christina casts a disguising spell, or “glamour,” and lives Reese’s life while she tries to find a retrieval spell. But as the retrieval spell proves harder than anticipated, and as she goes about living Reese’s life without anyone on the outside noticing the switch, Christina realizes that there’s nothing to stop her from making the glamour permanent…  except, of course, her fellow witches, a 16th century demon, and, just maybe, her own conscience. 

Glamour will be available in trade paperback and ebook via Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com,  Kobo.com, and other online retailers.

Janes Author Photo_smallAbout the author: I write ghost stories. From time to time my ghosts misbehave and manifest as dopplegangers, time machine operators, or cholera demons who delight in making people wither and die. Ghosts like a change of scenery now and again, just like the rest of us.

I love all manner of dark and speculative fiction but more than anything I love true ghost stories. M.R. James says a really first-rate ghost story is the most difficult thing to write so of course that’s what I want to do most of all.

I live in Brooklyn, New York, across the street from a cemetery and a high-voltage ConEd substation and hope that one day, maybe during a thunderstorm, this combination will result in some really cool zombie action.
