About the author

I’m an author who had a somewhat unorthodox upbringing. I was raised in South America and the Middle East, and wrote my first stories as a teenager in Kuwait, where my sister and I proved it really is hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk. I wrote my first novel in three months on a typewriter when I was 21, I used every romance cliché possible (including amnesia — need I say more?), and never rewrote anything, which is why it’s so much fun to pull it out occasionally when I need a good laugh. I wrote sporadically until my youngest child (who is now 18) was two, when I decided it was time to either actually start writing, or to stop saying I was a writer. So I took a class and started doing the scary things that writing requires. Now I’ve written about twelve novels and several children’s books.

Wacky and Sweet!

I love the residents of Moonchuckle Bay. I appreciate all of the funny names for businesses and the play on words. This book was full of magic, misunderstandings, and hexes. Poor Eric kept getting turned into a frog!
I loved seeing Chicory give in to her feelings, and for her and Eric to finally figure out what happened ten years ago. This was just what I needed on Halloween night!

So cute!

I just finished Chicory Spells Trouble, and I'm so glad she finally got her happily ever after! Chicory has been in every Moonchuckle Bay book as a side character and I've been waiting for this for a while. Eric is devoted, and I love that (in this instance) he won't take no for an answer and insists on winning back Chicory. The story was so cute!

Heather Horrocks brilliant books! Read on all!

Whenever there’s a new Heather Horrocks release I must have it. She creates crazy adventures featuring on paranormal creatures, love and happily ever after. Like always there’s the beginning of a new story entwined in the book.
This story has hexed life mates reuniting and Natalie Wood revived as a nymph. To be continued…

Delightful in every way possible! As with all of these stories from Heather, fun,mystery, intrigue and of course romance is in abundance! I have enjoyed each one of these stories.

[Hollie Robb · Rating 3 out of 5]

In almost all of of the books in this series there are editing problems, but all in all these books are very quirky and fun to read.

Finally we get to read about a witch who turns someone into a frog, twice! We also finally get to find out what Herb is.

Though the inconsistencies kept tossing me from the story, it was still a delightful book. If you need a lighthearted, fun read, the Moonchuckle Bay series is a good choice.
