Conjure Hill

Patrick Bryce Wright

Synopsis

Jorgi Williams hopes starting graduate school will go smoothly. He needs a break from his clingy and transphobic mother Kat, who still insists on calling him by his deadname. Moving into a duplex with a male roommate only sparks a fresh tirade from Kat, and Jorgi is sick of this treatment.
Thane Miller, Jorgi's roommate, is a fellow graduate student. Handsome in a skinny, alterna way, Thane is laidback and kind, and seems to accept Jorgi exactly as he is. Jorgi can't help developing a crush, despite his fear about whether Thane would date a transman.
But the question of love is put on hold when they receive evil spirits as a housewarming present. Thane locates and digs up a cursed jar in the front yard and reveals he is a Wiccan, a white witch. He begs Jorgi not to freak out. Far from being freaked out, Jorgi is fascinated. Thane introduces Jorgi to his coven and the coven leader asks the dreaded question: Who in Jorgi's life is capable of something like this? Jorgi's ex-best friend Christy is infamous for vicious grudges, and she's openly interested in black magic. Chance meetings with Christy seem to confirm she's guilty.
But not everything is adding up. As the demons grow powerful enough to talk, they claim Jorgi's soul soul has been bound to a powerful demon in a blood magic contract. That's something Christy wouldn't have the ability to do. Are the demons lying, or is the enemy still out there?
The stress of the demonic attacks, Kat's relentless transphobic hounding, and the world of blood magic opening up around Jorgi cause him a massive internal shift. Suddenly, he becomes aware there is a part of him who comes and goes and who claims their family is not as innocent and Christian as Jorgi always believed. Jorgi has Dissociative Identity Disorder, and his other selves are holding onto dark secrets about the Williams family's real religion. Thane is supportive every step of the way, causing Jorgi to fall in love.
Then one of Jorgi's inner selves points the finger at their mother, and Jorgi's sense of reality is thrown into chaos. Is his enemy Christy or his mother? Can Jorgi and Thane stop the haunting, break the evil contract, and get their happily-ever-after?

Eve Morton

Selene Parish is a hard-working lawyer in need of a vacation. A legal conference in Key West, Florida, seems like the perfect combination of work-turned-vacation. When she arrives and everything seems to go wrong, she starts to wonder if she's doomed to have no fun at all. Luckily, she's already met Gilberte Martin, a former artist now living in the Keys who is willing to make all of Selene's wishes come true.


Gilberte "Gil" Martin has never known where she would truly end up.

When she's invited to a tenth anniversary screening of her cult film, she figures the ghosts of her past might be over. She's proven wrong almost immediately. The only thing that saves her trip is a casual run-in with another woman having an equally hard time with her travels.


When Selene's vacation ends and Gil gets her itch for art once more, their love story seems to be over. But is it? Will they be able to see a future together with both their pasts absolved? Or will their stories be condensed into souvenirs and films for later viewing?
