The Witch On Pumpkin Vine Hill: Part One Paperback – January 11, 2026

Twenty-seven-year-old Starla Monroe has lived a sheltered life caring for her domineering mother who has forbidden her from making any contact with her deceased father’s family due to their Neopagan practices. But Starla cherishes an enchanting memory of visiting her aunt on her Pennsylvania farm when she was just three years old. Gathering scraps of information over time, she learns the Monroes are endowed with super-ordinary powers, and that the hilltop farm occupies a rare energy spot that her family has protected for generations as Earth guardians. Meanwhile, Starla begins to experience powers of her own, which manifest in chaotic ways that frighten her. Then she is informed, to her dismay, that she has inherited her aunt’s estate. She quickly learns, as well, that a cousin named Gilda opposes her heirship and will resort to any sorcerous means to lay claim to the property. When arriving on the farm, however, Starla is greeted by “friends of the hill” who will help groom and prepare her to replace her aunt as the presiding witch of Pumpkin Vine Hill. Over the course of a summer, she must master her powers, not only to fend off her cousin’s attacks, but to perform a feat of magic that will literally save the planet. Read more
