Circling Back

by Jeremiah Murphy

They had no idea what they were dealing with. In a small college in the Midwest, budding witches Gina and Victor, along with the rest of their mini-coven, cornered a malevolent spirit to exorcise it from this world. The cost of their triumph was catastrophic, and Victor vowed never to forgive Gina for what they had to do. Twelve years later, the spirit isn’t through with them. Gina has assembled a new coven, including the boy with the rare, innate talent who may be connected to their spirit, and her cousin, the retired monster hunter, to discover the spirit’s plan and end it. But she needs Victor to make it work. First she has to find him, and the last thing he wants is to be found. As the spirit gathers an army of cryptids and urban legends across the Eastern Seaboard, Gina’s loose coalition of witches must band together to defeat them, as well as the omniscient shadow government that secretly controls the country and couldn’t care less what one rogue spirit might be doing with its time. They may not know what the spirit is planning, but they know that fate itself is at stake. Once Gina and Victor learn to work together again, they will become invincible, but will that be enough?

About the author

Jeremiah Murphy has been writing stories since he was eleven years old, so telling tales is his default setting. He has lived a life of adventure and debauchery, leading him from the cowboy bars of Nebraska to the hard streets of New York City to the deserts of Doha, Qatar, including stops in New Mexico, New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Indiana. He currently lives in Washington, DC, with his best friend, Newcastle the cat, who has made it his mission to keep him from working. When he’s not writing, he can be seen scouring the internet for more Doctor Who merchandise for his bookshelf, exploring his shockingly vast neighborhood, or watching bad movies with his roommate.
