The Good Witch series is very gentle small town cosy magic. It’s made by Hallmark so that probably tells you all you need to know!

Did a guided meditation to meet the spirit of my business (because I am woo woo) and turns out it’s Lennier from Babylon 5.

The proof copy is here and she is CHONKY. Also- I have decided to number my books because no one seems to be doing that anymore and it bugs me.

A hand holds up a pink paperback book with the title the lunar Quartz library written in large serif font.

The spine of the pink paperback book with a small crystal outline with the number 1 inside indicating this is the first book in a series.

The side of the book positioned to show the thickness of the book. It is chonky.

The year is 2262. The name of the place is Babylon 5. (Because everything is on fire and there is no discernible difference)

John took that photo- I merely embellished it in Canva. It’s my least complicated thumbnail to date, no background remover or shadows. Just basic, like all of us pumpkin spice lovers 🤣
