Lately, I’ve just been writing with a big cup of ice water next to me which is so boring! I’m also a tea drinker, I’ll often make myself a few cups of earl grey to stay awake while I’m drafting late at night. My favorite writing snacks are flavor blasted goldfish and sour gummy worms…just putting that in writing makes my tongue hurt.
I can understand Frances frustration with the school learning the same repetitive things, talking about the moments that lead them to Haxahaven, and feeling like it s all a waste of time. Meanwhile Lena is stoic and supportive while quiet and reserved, she shows she loves Frances by helping her and acting as the chaperone on their outings in the woods.

Together, they create a dynamic and tight-knit musical unit that delivers high-energy performances.
The Witch Haven
The Last Magician meets The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy in this thrilling and atmospheric historical fantasy following a young woman who discovers she has magical powers and is thrust into a battle between witches and wizards.
In 1911 New York City, seventeen-year-old Frances Hallowell spends her days as a seamstress, mourning the mysterious death of her brother months prior. Everything changes when she’s attacked and a man ends up dead at her feet—her scissors in his neck, and she can’t explain how they got there.
Before she can be condemned as a murderess, two cape-wearing nurses arrive to inform her she is deathly ill and ordered to report to Haxahaven Sanitarium. But Frances finds Haxahaven isn’t a sanitarium at all: it’s a school for witches. Within Haxahaven’s glittering walls, Frances finds the sisterhood she craves, but the headmistress warns Frances that magic is dangerous. Frances has no interest in the small, safe magic of her school, and is instead enchanted by Finn, a boy with magic himself who appears in her dreams and tells her he can teach her all she’s been craving to learn, lessons that may bring her closer to discovering what truly happened to her brother.
Frances’s newfound power attracts the attention of the leader of an ancient order who yearns for magical control of Manhattan. And who will stop at nothing to have Frances by his side. Frances must ultimately choose what matters more, justice for her murdered brother and her growing feelings for Finn, or the safety of her city and fellow witches. What price would she pay for power, and what if the truth is more terrible than she ever imagined?
