General manager Barnaby Tischler knows it’s because their rival, Weatherly’s superstore, is scaring off the store’s customers with bomb threats!

Whispers from the Past (By:Constance M. Burge)

A shard of mirror for a broken reflection
A pocket watch with a cracked face
A cache of herbs to burn for protection
All will send me to another time and place.

Phoebe Halliwell is having a very bad day: A demon has pulled her centuries into the past. She has no way to tell her sisters she’s alive, no way to get back to her own time — and the demon is trying to kill her.

Back in the present, Prue and Piper are devastated at losing their sister. But that isn’t their only problem. Something is wrong with them, too. Somehow, they’re turning…
evil.

But why? And how can they stop it — without the Power of Three?

The Legacy of Merlin (By:)

‘White robes under the Druid moon, Midsummer’s Eve is coming soon. Spells and chanting call the powerTo work dark witchcraft in the hour!’Prue lands a summer trip to England to buy medieval books for a collector, so Phoebe and Piper tag along to the quaint village of Hay on Wye, in the heart of King Arthur country. While Piper reads how to make love charms from flowers, Phoebe meets the darkly handsome Niall. But she’s shaken by a desolate vision of him on a windswept heath, holding an infant. Is Niall a warlock?Then Piper discovers a secret Druid ritual in progress, with Niall at the center of it! She freezes the group, and the Charmed Ones set out to discover Niall’s secret. They learn that a local villager is in terrible danger from the Druids, and only a magical spell from centuries past can save her. The Charmed Ones are convinced that only a long journey can win against the Druids a voyage back in time to Camelot!

Garden of Evil (By:Emma Harrison)

‘By the powers above And by all things good, Bring me a love Who will always be true.’ The Halliwell sisters and their honeys are enjoying a rare afternoon off from fighting evil. Even though the two couples try to keep the vibe free of romance, Paige can’t help feeling like a fifth wheel. But where to find a guy who not only embodies everything she wants in a boyfriend but will also understand her witchy lifestyle? Then while saving an innocent, Paige connects with the girl’s boyfriend, Micah. Micah seems perfect he’s attractive and attentive, and he lives in a beautiful mansion in the hills outside San Francisco. Paige thinks he could be her Prince Charming. But the fairy tale turns sinister when he invites her into his garden an enchanted prison from which there is no escape and where the strongest bonds are those of love.

Mirror Image (By:Jeff Mariotte)

Phoebe Halliwell is stunned when her latest vision involves her younger half sister, Paige. The vision reveals to her that Paige is actually an imposter who will infiltrate the Power of Three and break it apart. However, Piper is dismissive when she learns of Phoebe’s concerns so much so that Cole and Leo end up taking sides as well. Before long, all involved are on edge.

Paige senses that her sisters are acting strangely around her, so when she meets Timothy McBride, an attractive young stranger who purports to be a witch, she decides not to tell them. She wants to have something of her own, separate from her Charmed duties. Secrets are estranging the sisters from one another, and the timing isn’t good. Women are turning up all over the city, dead by supernatural causes. The perpetrator may be connected to the sisters’ past but if they can’t work together, they might not be able to stop him.

Something Wiccan This Way Comes (By:Emma Harrison)

Sister Wiccas gather round.
By our power we are bound.
Hand in hand and heart to heart,
force all evil to depart!

Paige Matthews is new to the whole ‘Power of Three’ thing, and looking to explore her powers. So when she reads of a Wiccan convention taking place just outside of Las Vegas, she thinks it’s a great opportunity for her and for her sisters to learn more about their witchy ways. Though the girls are all over saving innocents, they aren’t that heavy into Wicca practices, and Paige thinks the retreat could be enlightening.

Piper and Phoebe, however, aren’t so sure. They’re certain that while they spend their days battling honest to badness black magic, their so called supernatural sisters will be nothing more than a bunch of blessed wanna bes. Soon though, they hear of a rash of murders committed against practicing Wiccans, and making an appearance at the convention becomes top priority. But as they head for the desert campgrounds, are the Charmed Ones headed straight for disaster?

A Tale of Two Pipers (By:Emma Harrison)

While Darklighters threaten to steal true love magic made a wish go wrong: Where two are, once was one but two does not mean twice as strong. Too much work and no time for play have made Piper a major stress case. When a seemingly harmless wish comes true, creating two Pipers, it looks like the problem’s solved. Two Pipers can do twice as much work, leaving one Piper to party the night away and the other to finally have time to relax. While one Piper’s home baking, the other can give an interview. Two Pipers? Too perfect. But soon it becomes clear that two heads and bodies aren’t always better than one. When Darklighters kidnap Leo and hold him hostage in exchange for the Charmed Ones’ powers, one of the Pipers doesn’t even seem to care. And then both Pipers’ powers fade, leaving them useless and sick. Phoebe and Paige scramble to find a reversal spell, but without Leo’s help, and with Piper split in two, will the Power of Three become powerless?

Slightly Single

For every girl who’s ever endured a long, hot urban summer on her own, Slightly Single is the summer breeze you’ve been waiting for!

A heat wave in Manhattan is enough to drive a girl crazy, and for Tracey Spadolini, a 24 year old New York transplant who’s been ‘left behind’ for the summer, there’s even more to sweat about. Her Slightly Significant Other, Will, will be returning from summer stock in September, to pick up where they left off. Or will he?

But, in the days after Will’s departure, Tracey decides it’s time for a reality check. Her un air conditioned East Village apartment is a dump, her entry level ad job sucks, her thighs don’t seem to be getting any thinner, and Will seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. So, Tracey, with the help of her friends and one very attentive guy, decides to spend her summer reinventing herself…
and taking a chance on liking the new woman she becomes.

A refreshingly honest account of universal female dilemmas, Slightly Single is an engaging story of one young woman’s search for happiness.

Slightly Settled

Top Two Don’ts for the Office Party.

Don’t dress in a revealing manner.
Translation: Don’t wear the sexy scarlet, size eight dress you couldn’t fit into three months ago. The one that flaunts your firmed up cleavage and newly discovered collarbones.

Don’t make a spectacle of yourself.
Translation: Don’t get drunk and make out with a really cute stranger for the whole company to see; he could turn out to be your boss’s roommate.

I didn’t follow these tips and here I am with a hot new man in my life, Jack. But my friends are asking if I really want to bump into my boss in his boxers in the hallway of their apartment. After all, I am aiming for a promotion.

And now, not only does my ex want me back, but the guy I used to think was Mr. Right just kissed me!

Three months ago I couldn’t hold on to one guy. Now three want me. When did my life become so complicated?

Slightly Engaged

There are a lot of things
worse than being Slightly Engaged…

being entirely broke, completely alone and wholly perplexed.

It’s been a year and a half since Tracey and Jack moved in together, and everything’s totally perfect well, okay, almost perfect. There’s still Tracey’s mom, who says they’re ‘living in sin,’ and her friends, who are all smug, married and totally sure that there would already be a ring on Tracey’s finger if she hadn’t been in such a rush to cosign a lease. Even Tracey is beginning to wonder whether Jack really is looking for a permanent relationship, or whether she’s just renting space in his heart.

But just when Tracey’s doubts are seriously raging out of control, Jack’s mom lets her in on a secret he’s just taken an heirloom diamond out of the family’s safe deposit box, which must mean that he’s going to propose any day now.

Okay, any week now…

Any month now?

Slightly Married

After two years, the man who bought a lifetime subscription to TiVo without trying it finally committed to a lifetime subscription to Tracey Spandolini.

All Tracey wants is to get hitched without a hitch but as the calendar marches toward her late October wedding date, suddenly she and her fiance can’t agree on anything. From where to get married New York City or Buffalo? to how many attendants they’re going to have she’s already asked eight; he was thinking of just a best man. Meanwhile, Tracey’s friends are caught up in their own dramas. There’s newlywed Raphael, who just had his gay wedding; newly pregnant Kate, who is trying to adjust to impending motherhood; and Buckley, who is acting inexplicably strange. When Buckley unexpectedly breaks off his own engagement, all but leaving his fiancee at the altar, Tracey is stunned to learn that he might be in love with her.

With plenty of snafus to keep them distracted, is being Slightly Married the road to happily ever after, after all?

Slightly Suburban

It seemed exciting at first, but after two and a half years in New York, Tracey has to admit her life well, sucks. Sure, she makes a decent living as a copywriter, but Blaire Barnett Advertising is a cutthroat world that basically swallows her life. If she does manage to get home before nine, she’s usually greeted by husband Jack’s best bud, an almost permanent fixture in their tiny, unaffordable apartment. Add the circus freaks stomping around upstairs, and Tracey decides it’s time to move.

After quitting her job, she and Jack take the plunge into the nearby suburbs of Westchester and quickly discover they’re in way over their heads. Their fixer upper is unfixable, the stay at home yoga moms are a bore and Tracey yearns for her old friends she even misses work!

So which life does she really want? Other than Jack’s wife, who is she? If Tracey merely has to find her own Slightly Suburban niche, it had better be just around the corner, because there’re no subways here!

But just two weeks later, her mother died in a freak accident, and life as she knew it was completely over. With her father heading to California for a new job, they decide that Calla should spend a few weeks with the grandmother she barely knows while he gets them set up.
To Calla’s shock, her mother s hometown of Lily Dale is a town full of psychics including her grandmother. Suddenly, the fact that her mother never talked about her past takes on more mysterious overtones. The longer she stays in town, the stranger things become, as Calla starts to experience unusual and unsettling events that lead her to wonder whether she has inherited her grandmother s unique gift. Is it this gift that is making her suspect that her mother s death was more than an accident, or is it just an overactive imagination? Staying in Lily Dale is the only way to uncover the truth.

But she gets more than she bargained for when she stumbles across a shocking secret about her mom s past one that will change Calla s own future forever.

Discovering

Somewhere out there, someone seems to share the powerful psychic abilities that allow Calla to see not only into the past, but to the Other Side someone who apparently doesn t want to be found.
