magical midlife detectives

book 1 chapter 5 / first draft

Why doesn't wine love you back? What's with that silly pigeon tapping the window? Who could send Nora a letter and a package even before she had made her new address public? And why had she never even heard of the Little Shop of Spells?

The narrator is an AI voice. So the emotions and the tone of the audio may not match 100%. The audio is for those who have trouble reading text - or who simply like to listen to stories more than to read them.

Feel free to comment, using the form below the flipbook.

If you'd like to share the chapter to social media, you can do it by sharing the address of this page or use the share-link on top of the flipbook screen.

You can also view the flipbook in full screen - choose the option inside the flipbook.

I chose the flipbook format for the specific reason it is not so easy to steal. Lots of thieves out there... (And btw - if you find my books in some "read for free" -website, be aware that if they have it, they have stolen it. I have given no one permission to distribute my books for free. Or as is most often the case - they don't have it, want your email address, send you a link and through it you download a virus to your computer instead.)

If you want me to send you an email every time I post a first draft chapter, write your email address to the box below. I will not give it to anyone, I will not spam you. You will receive a notification of a new chapter (and maybe some occasional note on what I am up to with my writing at the moment).
