Blurb:
There's
magic in the world, and its hiding in plain sight. Your friends, your
neighbors, the guy who runs your favorite restaurant -- any of them could be
more than they seem. A man trick-or-treating with his son finds the courage to
go after what he wants when he confiscates and eats some unwrapped candy. A
park ranger who's afraid of outing himself in public is reminded that his lover
will -- and can -- protect him, no matter what. An apprentice mage learns that
his master never forgets when he has a lesson to finish, and will always
come for him when he gets himself lost in magic. And a boy from a mage-gifted
family learns that life isn't over just because the gift has passed him by.
Return to the world of Hidden Magic.

(Note from the author: Note that this
is a collection of short stories. All the stories take place in the same
fictional universe, but they have different themes and devices. Only one story
has BDSM elements, for example. And only one is erotica. One is romantic but
has no sex that's meant to be titillating.)
Excerpt:
Sebastiano
Fiorentelli studied the calendar -- a freebie from the Humane Society with
photos of puppies and kittens on it -- on the wall of his cluttered basement
laboratory and observed that it was the thirtieth day of October. Since emigrating to the United States and
discovering the Halloween custom of sending children around to beg for treats,
he'd made a habit of including something extra in the candy he made for the
occasion each year. By the
Nineteen-seventies, when hysteria over poison and razor blades swept the
population, Mr. Fiorentelli had been living in his San Jose neighborhood long
enough that no one fussed about letting their children eat his
wax-paper-wrapped candies.
He
paced back and forth in front of open cabinets and crowded shelves, pondering
what to make this year, until finally he stopped and nodded.
"Courage,"
he said. "This year, I think I'll
make courage..."

About the
author:
Angela Benedetti
lives in Seattle with her husband, five computers, and thousands of books. She
started writing as a teenager, and discovered soon after that romances with two
hot guys are twice as good as romances with only one. When she's not at the
computer, she enjoys cooking and baking, going to science fiction conventions,
and cruising with her husband. She's one
of the few people in the universe who loses weight on cruises. (Must be all those walking-around shore tours
and the lack of free internet access.)
Her favorite mainstream fiction genres are science fiction and fantasy,
both of which tend to seep into her own writing; the Hidden Magic series is a
fun blend of romance and fantasy.
