I have put an old short story on Lulu as a free e-book, in the hope that a freebie will pull in some interested parties. "The Bat and the Blitz" is in the same world as the two novellas, and there's even a small amount of character overlap, but it's a relatively light and short little romp, as much as that can be said of a story about an air raid. It had a couple of good reviews and one somewhat negative one--I've no idea how I was supposed to work in an explanation of why there were British witches but not German ones, but the long and the short of it was, Germany decided to expel what Britain decided to keep as an asset, starting a couple of centuries earlier. Hitler might want to use magic on his side, but that's tough cookies; there simply aren't any magic-users left in the territory he controls.

Didn't fit in the story, though.
