"Blue Moon Magic is an anthology that offers a bit of magic for everyone. These fascinating and compelling tales of wishes fulfilled on a blue moon will convince even the hardest of hearts about the power of love. Kudos to all of the authors involved as this is one anthology in which every single story delivers a powerful punch!"--Deborah Wiley, CK2S Kwips and Kritiques

"Blue Moon Magic is an enchanting collection of short stories. Each author (Dawn Thompson, Erin Hatton, Diane Davis White, Katherine Smith, Meagan Hatfield, Aysel Arwen, M.J. Sager, Jaquelin Lorin, Lee Roland, Kristi Ahlers, Billie Warren Chai, Kimberly Ivey, Leanne Burroughs, Keelia Greer, Deborah MacGillivray) wrote with the same theme in mind, but each story has its' own uniqueness. You should have no problem finding a tale to suit your mood. Blue Moon Magic offers historicals, contemporaries, time travel, paranormal, and futuristic narratives to tempt your heart. Legend says that if you wish with all your heart upon the rare blue moon, your wishes were sure to come true. Each of the heroines discovers this magical fact. True love is out there if you just believe in it. In some of the stories, love happens in the most unusual ways. Angels may help, ancient spells may be broken, anything can happen. Even vampires will find their perfect mate with the power of the blue moon. Not every heroine believes they are wishing for love, some are just looking for answers to their problems or nagging questions. Fate seems to think the solution is finding the one who makes their heart sing. The diversity within this book is sure to please. For example, Keelia Greer will take you into the future thousands of years. Just imagine a vampire out there making sure the earth is safe. On the other hand, perhaps something with more humor will tickle you today. Diane Davis White has a darling story where a couple of angels, one in training, helps two confused and lonely musicians find they make perfect harmonies together. Maybe you are looking for magic. Aysel Arwen has a contemporary sounding tale with a base of mystical history. Her heroine is searching for a ring she lost while visiting Loch Ness. She returns late at night with a flashlight to trace her footsteps, only she is not as alone as she believed. A most handsome man is there and offers to help. When they join, a spell is broken and true happiness becomes their future. Blue Moon Magic is a perfect read for late at night or even during your commute to work. The short yet sweet stories are a wonderful way to spend a few minutes. If you do not have the time to finish a full-length novel, but hate stopping in the middle of a loving tale, I highly recommend grabbing this book."--Kim Swiderski, Writers Unlimited Reviewer
