Scritches and Witches (The Small Magics Collection)

When danger creeps into the neighborhood, three unlikely guardians-two loyal dogs and one very opinionated cat-must protect the witch they call Mine.

Happy Tail and Bark Face know every sound, scent, and shadow around Home. Sky Eyes, the cat with the dirt-dusted fur and evil teeth, patrols the fences and vacant lot with claws sharp and magic sharper. Together, they keep watch over Mine, whose fire-jasmine magic has dimmed ever since she drove off a rival witch with a hunger for power.

But Sour Roses isn't finished.

When a crack appears in Mine's protection spells, a strange familiar slips through-proof that the enemy is close, watching, and ready to strike. With Mine's sadness deepening and her magic faltering, the familiars must do what no one expects of them: work together, combine their magic, and become the escape artists they've always pretended to be.

As danger rises and Mine faces a deadly confrontation, Happy Tail, Bark Face, and Sky Eyes must weave their magic into something stronger than fear-something fierce enough to protect the one they love.

A cozy, heart-tugging fantasy told through the eyes of familiars, Scritches and Witches blends warmth, mischief, and magical danger into a short story about loyalty, healing, and the power of found family.
