title: The Sisters Grimmoire: Spells and Charms for your Happily Ever After
author:  Bree NicGarran 
description: Bree NicGarran grew up in the wilds of Bucks County, PA, and now resides near Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. She started reading at an early age and began writing shortly thereafter. Her work in short horror and personal accounts of ghostly happenings have been featured podcasts such as The No Sleep Podcast (Sept. 2014), Never Sleep Again (June-July 2014), and Lex Wahl's Anything Ghost (Summer 2014). When she's not ensconced in her home office, she can be found working on her various writing projects, including a second volume of fairy tale spells in conjuction with Anna Zollinger. In addition to her writing, she maintains a blog about and answering questions pertaining to cottage witchcraft, and is very glad that her sweetheart doesn't mind having a pagan altar in the living room. More information about Bree and her various projects and publications can be found at http://breenicgarran.tumblr.com. ------------------------------ Preferring a life lacking in hubbub Zollinger-Reed lives a rather secluded life in the American South with her Husband and their three cats, spending most of her time trying desperately not to get sucked into the chaotic spiral of life. A practitioner of Witchcraft since the tender age of 11, Zollinger-Reed has been around the bush a few times in many ways. She has spent a good many years developing her craft both magically and spiritually and now practices a wide variety of magics which are folk and (non-traditional / non- ceremonial) ritually oriented- chief among those are Domestic Magics and Spirit based practices; as a practitioner, she credits both the Gemma Doyle Trilogy and the Abhorsen / Old Kingdom Series with having greatly impacted her as a person- as well as having been the primary influences on her Magic, personal Practice, and spirituality. Until 2013 Zollinger-Reed was an active participant in the online community. Eventually, though, she became disenchanted with the state of the current community and its politics, stepped down from an active and public role online, and stopped participating within the greater Pagan community (most notably Tumblrs). Despite this she remained an avid blogger, regularly writing about subjects closely related to Paganism and the Occult. Recent changes, however, have come with a long awaited (by some) re-entrance into the greater Pagan and related communities, and you may still find her writing available at http://agloriousbeauty.wordpress.com

  **A PROPHECY FORETOLD**
  
    
  
  Raised by her doting older brother, Isabel Albryght grew up cosseted and
  protected. She enjoyed her life in the country, her books and her freedom.
  Then Weston married. Within months Isabel's best friend married. It seemed it
  was time for Isabel to marry, too, except, socially awkward and a bit too keen
  for most of the ton, she proceeded to have the most horrible season on
  record…until she was approached by Tristram, the Earl of Longstone.
  
    
  
  Twice. Two dances. That was all Tristram could offer anyone when considering
  his family curse, which had taken all he loved in the last ten years, so his
  promise to the beautiful Miss Albryght’s brother was simply that. The ton
  would soon see she was a desirable partner, her awkwardness would fade and
  other young swains would beat feet to her doorstep. But then he held her in
  his arms, and the delightful Isabel became his beating heart. Headstrong and
  full of passion, she believ
