When Autumn Leaves - A Novel

Amy S. Foster

Synopsis

When a small-town witch gets a promotion, she must find someone who can magically take her place in this novel of friendship and self-discovery. 
 
In Avening, a tiny town on the Pacific coast, it’s hard not to believe in magic. This is a town where the shoes in the window always fit, where you can buy a love potion at the corner shop, and where the woods at the outskirts of town just might be the door to another world. And, of course, there’s Autumn, Avening’s beloved resident witch.  
 
From what’s known of its mythical founding, Avening has always been a haven for people who are a little bit different, a place where they can come to discover what makes them so special. When Autumn receives news that she’s been promoted to a higher coven, she also learns she has to replace herself. But who in Avening is in tune enough with her own personal magic to take over the huge responsibility of town witch?  
 
Autumn has a list of thirteen women and men who just might have what it takes—but she’ll have to get them to open their eyes to the magic in their lives . . .

There should not be a lush jungle in the middle of the Sahara.
Needing more information, she leaves the American security enclave and heads to the French/Israeli/India military encampment where mercenaries are known to congregate.
Plenty of alcohol should get her the answers she needs, right?
The more she learns, the more her concern intensifies. Can she learn if there is real danger, or are they lying?
When she finds a good drink, she realizes she might have found the person to tell her the truth.
But one person’s truth is another person’s tall tale.

One last problem: the ZOO doesn't want to give up its secrets.
ARE YOU READY TO ENTER THE ZOO?
----
Join Holly Smith as she learns about the ZOO, how to stay alive, and the opportunities that being a part of the ZOO have brought humanity.
