My daughter, Nola, is determined to catch a Leprechaun. She builds a new trap every year. I’ve included a photo of this year’s version. Needless to say, she never catches one, but she finds “evidence” of their visit every year.

The irony: I don’t plant that evidence. This year, the evidence was in the front yard. She decided the leprechauns left some green ties in our yard. Now, those ties have been there since before she was born, but she never noticed them. Ah, the power of wishful thinking.

Obviously, I know she’s never going to catch a leprechaun. But I won’t discourage her from believing she will (even if I have to spend $40 on craft supplies). I firmly believe everyone needs a little magic in their lives.

So does Kristine Grayson. She put her own twist on the legend of the leprechaun in her story “Cosmic Balances, Inc.” Click here to read the synopsis and download that story for free for one week only.

We’re entering an exciting time for Grayson fans. Next Thursday, we’ll be releasing the first of four omnibuses. It’s called The Charming Trilogy, Vol. 1, which contains the novels Utterly Charming, Thoroughly Kissed, and Completely Smitten, along with a ton of bonus materials. We’re also rebranding the series to better align it with the genre and provide a comprehensive reading order. So, watch for a relaunch of Completely Smitten and a redesign of the Grayson website to correspond with the omnibus release. I’ve included the covers of the omnibus and Completely Smitten to give you a sneak peek.

We’ll release a new omnibus every month, in series order, until June (along with any rebranded books we have the rights to publish).

Now, I saved the best news for last, because in June we will have the first new Grayson novel in years, Hidden Charm, so stay tuned for more information on that release.

We’re in for a magical spring.
