Happy Fall!

Welcome back to Hemlock Hollow. The eerie little town nestled in the Ozark Mountains where nothing is as it seems. Mortals, Witches, Lycans, Vampires and Fae all reside in the hollow and not always peaceably.

In the hollow it is said that the Fae play dangerous games... and in Beguiled in Hemlock Hollow everything you thought you knew will change forever.

Here is the blurb for Beguiled In Hemlock Hollow: 

Lucas Archer, the handsome Sheriff of Hemlock Hollow, is about to have his world rocked. An old flame of his is returning, the beautiful Fae lover that Lucas never expected to see again. Seven years earlier, personal sacrifices were made to prevent a war between the realms, and Lucas was devastated to discover that the lover he’d known simply as Maeve was no ordinary Fae female. She was in fact the Princess Oona, and she belonged to another.

Oona Maeve, Princess of the Dark Fae has at last escaped from her husband’s court and after a long negotiation, has finally been granted a divorce. Determined to be reunited with her love, Oona and her children seek asylum in Hemlock Hollow for a chance at a simpler and happier life. Unfortunately, her carefully planned arrival turns to chaos, as someone wants Oona and any possible heirs to the dark throne eliminated.

Wounded, Oona seeks Lucas’ help, but her return is not the joyful reunion either had imagined, for many secrets and even more devastating truths are about to be revealed. Can Oona find a way to break free from the political intrigue of the Fae courts and keep those she loves safe? Will Lucas accept the truth or continue to cling to the hateful lies he was once told? In a world of mortals and Supes, it will take a special sort of magick for this beguiling love story to end with a happily ever after.

Hello!

The final book in the Legacy Of Magick series will be released on May, 24th, 2022. 

Wish Upon The Moon is Holly & Julian's story. Here is the book blurb:

And now the twelfth and final chapter in the Legacy Of Magick series!

Wish Upon The Moon

Holly Bishop and Julian Drake have managed to keep their secret relationship going strong for years, until Julian was offered a short-term contract across the country. After almost a year apart, Holly feels that they have hit an impasse. When Julian finally returns to Williams Ford and reunites with Holly, their passion burns hotter than ever before. So the pair decide to never be parted again and run off to elope.
But the Drake and Bishop families are none-too-pleased with the news of their marriage. Now Holly and Julian face disapproval and censure—not to mention the shocked reaction of their colleagues at the museum where they both work. What should have been a magickal time of newlywed bliss is filled with stress, snide comments, and problems from all sides.
If that wasn’t enough, life throws the couple a curveball that plays on Holly’s deepest fears. The couple is pushed to the brink as they deal with the crisis, and Holly begins to wonder: what if there is nothing else to her relationship with Julian beyond the bedroom? Perhaps there is no such thing as a ‘happy ever after’ for her. Will the curse that seems to tear Bishop brides and Drake grooms apart strike once again, or can she and Julian manage to stay together and defy the odds?

Kindle price is $2.99

327 page paperback is $11.99

The Legacy Of Magick series was one hell of a ride. I hope you will enjoy Holly and Julian's HEA ending as well as the series wrap up as much as I did! Hint: It made me cry.

Blessed be, Ellen Dugan

 Hello!

Midnight Destiny will be released on Friday, November 19th!

Here is an excerpt from the novel. Estella and Chauncey are not your traditional romantic pair, and that's why I adore them so much. This story was so satisfying to write. You can order a copy of the Kindle for only .99 cents, here Midnight Destiny Kindle

The following excerpt is copyrighted material and may not be reproduced in ANY form, print or electronic without the publisher's written permission. 

"“There.” I pointed at Danielle. “See what you did? You’ve upset the baby.” I went over to Danielle, and as soon as I picked her up, the baby quieted.

“One of these days, Estella,” Chauncey said, “you’re going to have to stop hiding behind that nasty attitude.”

“I’m not hiding behind it,” I said. “It’s a part of my charm.”

Shutting his eyes, he sighed loud and long. “I have never been so tempted to throttle a woman in all my life.”

“Ha!” I tossed my head. “I’d like to see you try, pretty boy. I’d have you eating the floorboards before you could blink.”

“If you’re going to make threats, you should put the baby down,” he said. “Or are you merely bluffing?”

 “Bluffing?” I shifted Danielle to my left hip. “You think you know me, Chauncey? I could drop you to your knees before you ever knew what hit you.”

In response to my challenge, he stepped toward me. I pivoted so that Danielle was almost behind me, and at the same time I shot my right hand forward, palm facing out. It was a controlled thrust that I stopped a bare inch from his nose. Danielle squealed happily at the abrupt movement, and Chauncey’s dark brown eyes almost bugged out of his head.

“Do not underestimate me,” I said softly as he stared. “I have seen more, done more and defended myself in situations that would make you cringe.” Slowly, I lowered my hand.

Chauncey took a deliberate step back. “Surely you know that I would never strike a woman.” His voice was low, but his tone was serious.

“Lala!” Danielle bounced happily on my hip.

Before anything else was said, Philippe moved into the doorway

“Gabriella is awake.” Philippe walked into the kitchen oblivious to the tension. “She said she would try and eat something in a bit.”

“Good,” I said, turning back to the stove as if to check the stew. “This should be finished in a few minutes. She can try some of the broth and the chicken and see how she tolerates it.”

“Are you staying for dinner, Chauncey?” Philippe asked his brother.

“No.” Chauncey’s voice carried clearly to me. “I have dinner plans for tonight. Excuse me.”

Of course, he has a date, I thought. Determined not to let Philippe know that I’d almost decked his brother, I turned around from the stove with a smile in place and discovered that Chauncey had left. My shoulders dropped in relief..."--©

 Hello!

Midnight Destiny Book 6 in the Daughters Of Midnight series will be released in TWO WEEKS! On the next full moon, November 19th!

Welcome back to the village of Ames Crossing, Illinois where the past and the present are eerily intertwined...

Estella Flores Midnight has been residing in Ames Crossing with her new-found family for a year. While many things have changed, a few have stayed the same. The daughters of Midnight are all wise and magickal. The village and area remains extremely haunted. And lastly—try though she may—Estella is still attracted to Chauncey Marquette.

Street-wise and strong, Estella can handle any situation or physical opponent. However, there’s something about Chauncey Marquette that throws her every damn time she’s around him. They couldn’t be more different. Chauncey, a former race car driver, has seen the world. Handsome, privileged and elegant, he once partied with the rich and famous. Estella on the other hand was a military brat who worked as a bartender and a bouncer, doing whatever was necessary to make ends meet and to survive.

The supernatural events that Estella has experienced over the past year have changed her entire perspective on magick and the paranormal. But now, she is being haunted by the spirit of an ancestor, the tragic Victoria Midnight. The Victorian-era ghost wants something from Estella and in an effort to get it, the spirit’s manifestations have been growing increasingly violent.

To protect those she loves, Estella will have to put everything on the line in order to end an almost two hundred year old haunting. For it is becoming clear that Estella’s destiny lies not only in the little riverside village...but also with one man. 

Midnight Destiny will be a 238 page paperback and the Kindle price is only .99 cents!

You can preorder your Kindle copy here! Midnight Destiny

The price for the paperback is yet to be announced and the paperback will be available to order on release day November 19th!

I thought I knew how Estella and Chauncey's story would go. Turns out Estella was like: "Here , hold my beer..." and off we went. I'm thrilled with how their story turned out. They got their HEA.

Happy binge reading.

Blessed be, Ellen

 Hello!

September is almost here and we are days away from the season of the Witch!

My newest novel, Bewitched In Hemlock Hollow: Book 1 in the Hemlock Hollow Anthology series is avaialble for preorder now. Follow this handy link and get your Kindle copy preordered for only $2.99.  Bewitched In Hemlock Hollow

As always the paperback will be available to order on release day.

Bewitched In Hemlock Hollow: Book 1 of the Hemlock Hollow Anthology

I had so much fun writing the Hemlock Hollow trilogy, and the dark fantasy genre is intriging and a blast to explore, the world I first created with the trilogy was too big to limit it to three books, and so I decided to do a spin-off series. And that was how the Hemlock Hollow Anthology series came to be.

 Hello,

My newest novel, "Bewitched In Hemlock Hollow" is off to the editor and will be available for pre-order very soon. This is Ruby's story, and we find out why Ruby Prentis was unknown to the residents of the hollow for so many years. Ruby's past has shaped her into a unique individual. As she is a Witch alone in the hollow with no affiliations to the other covens. Her story was so much fun to write and her family will blow your mind! I can't wait for you to read it when it is released in September. The world of Hemlock Hollow just got bigger, darker and sexier!

To the left is a peek at the partial cover of Bewitched In Hemlock Hollow. This is a nice sized 80,000 word novel and the Kindle price will be $2.99

This is the first book in a spin-off series from the original Hemlock Hollow Trilogy. So yes, you will find out what Daphne and Finnlagh are up to, as well as the other supernatural residents of the hollow. At the moment I have eight other future titles lined up for this new Hemlock Hollow Anthology.

In the meantime it's full speed ahead on Midnight Destiny-- book 6 of the Daughters Of Midnight. I'm about at the halfway point of that novel and although I thought I knew how this story would go...Estella is like, "Here, hold my beer," and I'm just scrambling to keep up with her. Those star-crossed ghosts are still up to all sorts of mischief-- and Estella and Chauncey are doing their best to deal with them.

Midnight Destiny was supposed to be released last year and then I got mono and it landed me in the hospital twice, so I had to tackle Estella and Chauncey's story this summer instead. It was defintely worth the wait.

Just below you can see a bit of the partial cover. for Midnight Destiny. 

For now I'll say it will be a December release but it might be earlier. It depends on how fast I write it, honestly.

Well, I need to get to work before Estella starts hollering at me in my head. Wishing you all a safe, healthy and happy rest of the summer.

Blessed be, Ellen

Book Blurb:

Welcome back to Williams Ford, Missouri! The bewitching college town where magick and weirdness seems to happen on every day of the week that ends with the letter ‘Y’.
Candice Jacobs is as sweet as they come. Her popular confectionery shop is a hit with the residents of Williams Ford and business is booming, until a jealous baker from a nearby town drops dead on the sidewalk in front of Candice’s store.
If that wasn’t bad enough, a series of bizarre events begin to befall Candice. Now rumors are stirring that everyone’s favorite Kitchen Witch might be dabbling in black magick. With her professional and personal reputation crumbling, Candice must figure out who or what is the cause—and she better do it fast.
Witches vow to ‘do no harm’, but somebody sure does want Candice and her business out of the way. Will her magick be able to save her in time? © Ellen Dugan

I hope you will enjoy this latest installment in the Legacy series. Candice's character was a fun one to explore. Now I'm back to working on the first book in a spin-off from the Hemlock Hollow trilogy. Bewitched In Hemlock Hollow is about half-way finished.

I plan to release that new Hemlock Hollow title in September. For now enjoy your time back in Williams Ford! The Witches there have been keeping busy, and you'll be charmed by this tale of paranormal romance and a mystery all rolled into one! You'll probably also have a hankering for cookies, cake pops and cupcakes while reading this book as well.

Happy Reading Witches!
