Book Description:

Fed up with the slushy snow of winter, and the frigid Canadian wizards Julie McNabb wants a transfer to somewhere warm, and where the men are smoking hot!

Instead, she ends up in Bug Tussle. A small wizard farming community in Texas where the unicorns freak her out, and the resident witches watch NASCAR and eat Barbeque.

Despite her goals to get out as fast as she can, Julie makes friends, has fun, and falls for Vance, the hunky animal manager.

Now if only Julie can convince Vance to give up on Mrs. Right, for Mrs. right now!

Teaser Excerpt:

“There has to be something more than this,” I sighed as the broom came dangerously close to the road. Before I turned into witch jam, I used my magic to stop the broom, tilting it up, and slowing its descent until my purple boots skidded against the pavement.

“Like what?” Skippy asked.

“I don’t know, but flying around at night, maintained spells, checking perimeters? How is that living? I want a life that’s exciting. I don’t want to die a thousand years from now, regretting I lived all my life in Hamilton.”

About the Author: 

I suppose you are dying to know who this Michelle Kopra is; n'est pas?

If you figure it out, please let me know ;)

I have worked in hospitals, in zoo's, in casinos, and with shoes (hey, look at that, I rhymed).

I am a day dreamer, not much of a day tripper, or day trader for that matter. But I do get lost in my own little world about Fairies, Elves, brass goggles, nifty airships, and steamy romances.

I used to be a closet writer, writhing in agony if anyone came near me when I was trying to put story to paper.

Then I had kids. Two of them, with big brown eyes, and sweet little giggles and sticky fingers that goober up my computer screen, and suddenly I didn't care how silly my stories seemed to the rest of the world. Well, not as much anyways ;)

I have six stories published on Amazon.com for the moment, with several more in the works. Please feel free to contact me, I can be found on Facebook, twitter, and at my website michellekopra.com. Let me know if you love my stories, or hate them, or if I parked in your spot!

My Review:  

Hexes in Texas is a delightfully funny paranormal romance featuring a witch whose dreams for an exciting future in the Big Easy take a magical detour to a small farming community in Texas.  Julie McNabb, a witch whose magic specialty is protection and defense, is the security expert for the McNabb Witches in Canada.  Tired of dealing with the same old location and cold weather, Julie dreams of a warmer climate and sexy pool boys.  Requesting a transfer to New Orleans, Julie plans to lead a more adventurous life, drink margaritas and mingle with the beautiful people of the south. 

When Julie is granted her request for a transfer, something goes hilariously wrong.  Finding herself in Bug Tussle, Texas,a small community of farming witches and wizards, Julie agrees to help them in exchange for a re-route to New Orleans where she can get back to her dreams.  She wasn't counting on falling for Vance, a hot wizard, or on making friends with some of the other witches.  With her trusty sidekick, Skippy the cat, at her side, along with her own set of fairies and brownies, Julie sets out to make Bug Tussle a safe place to live.

Will Julie keep pursuing her dream to make it to the Big Easy?  Or will Julie's new friends in Bug Tussle, and Vance, who could be the man of her dreams, win the day?  You'll have to read Hexes in Texas to find out.  I found Ms. Kopra's writing very easy to follow and highly entertaining.  The dialogue is sharp and the characters are well developed.  Like Julie, I found myself falling in love with Bug Tussle and it's inhabitants.  I also fell in love with Skippy, the funniest character of all, and hope we get to see more of Julie and Skippy's adventures in the future. 

My Rating:  4 out of 5 Stars
