About the Author:

Astrid Arditi has studied at Hogwarts, ridden a dragon, swam with mermaids and flown to the moon. Recently, she traveled to Mount Olympus…

She leads a double life: one of words and whimsy; the other one chasing her two young kids around the playground and kissing away booboos.

She’s a spy, a princess, a unicorn, a wife, a mother and an author. Life is never dull in her messy home in Brooklyn, or in her dreams where she escapes as often as she can.

She writes from experience, of course. You may not believe it, but everything in her books has actually happened to her…even if only in her imagination.

Urban Fantasy – Wishful Thinking by Helen Harper

Posted on by

Muddled magic. Missing faeries. She’s having one spell of a day at work…

Saffron Sawyer aspires to rise from the magical world’s bottom rung. But when her wish to join the renowned Office of Faery Godmothers is granted, bullies make her first day on the job unbearable. And to add to her misery, she discovers that someone is abducting her coworkers one-by-one.

Desperate to prevent another kidnapping, she scrambles to piece together the clues. After teaming up with the handsome and powerful Devil’s Advocate, she uncovers a strange connection between the disappearances and her lowly former gig. But when Saffron learns her promotion was only a ploy, she vows to ruin the devious plan.

Can Saffron muster enough magic to trap the villain before she’s sacked or stolen?

Wishful Thinking is the first book in the refreshingly original How To Be The Best Damn Faery Godmother in the World (or Die Trying) urban fantasy series. If you like determined heroines, enchanting spins on old tales, and clever twists and turns, then you’ll love Helen Harper’s captivating story.

Buy Wishful Thinking to watch a spunky sprite strut her stuff!

Helen Harper Releases First Book In The City Of Magic Series

Posted on by

Charley is a cleaner by day and a professional gambler by night. She might be haunted by her tragic past but she’s never thought of herself as anything or anyone special. Until, that is, things start to go terribly wrong all across the city of Manchester. Between plagues of rats, firestorms and the gleaming blue eyes of a sexy Scottish werewolf, she might just have landed herself in the middle of a magical apocalypse. She might also be the only person who has the ability to bring order to an utterly chaotic new world.

This is the first book in The City Of Magic series.

Reader Reviews

“Magic and Mayhem and Monsters in Manchester, oh my! Once again, Helen Harper has produced a fun, light read that I zipped through in one sitting. Charley is a heroine both easy to and worth rooting for and I have become as fond of her as I was of Integrity Taylor from Helen’s ‘Highland Magic’ series [which I also highly recommend].

This story had good pacing and plotting and believable suspension of disbelief. The villain was beautifully mundane in such a magical world, but more than that I won’t say, so I don’t spoil the story too much.” – Hannah Bloczynski, Reviewer

“Strange things are happening in the City of Manchester, and Charley, Monroe, Lizzy and the gang are caught in the middle of it!

With all the unusual activities, the government evacuates and locks down the city, Max Strong (aka bad guy) steps in to rule over all who remain. When Lizzy (Charley’s best friend) is captured by Max, Charley and team devise a plan to rescue her.

Great book for the average fantasy enthusiast. I did find it quiet a dark book. However it was an enjoyable and a relatively easy read. Note there is some use of strong language.” – Michelle Knight, Reviewer

“Shrill Dusk has it all: an intelligent and compassionate heroine, a tough but vulnerable love interest, best friends standing strong, magic, monsters, and a villain in need of a good comeuppance. Highly recommended to fans of urban fantasy, as well as fans of Ilona Andrews, Annie Bellet, T. Thorn Coyle, Jolene Dawe, and Lisa Shearin.” – Rebecca Buchanan, Reviewer
