Did the witches of the Wildes start the fight, or was it someone else?
One more short prequel for Midnight Wildes (but not necessarily new), and I want you to be the first to read it: The House and The Goblin. If you read the book of shorts Midnight Voices, you read an earlier version of this story. Then it was named Memories of a Kiss. Turns out, this story started the adventures of Midnight Wildes. It took me a while to realize it.
I hope you enjoy.
The first time Danita met her Goblin, the earth shook. This time, it shakes for all the wrong reasons.
Dianttha may by younger than the other Witches of the High Coven, but she knows their secrets. She’s determined to bring down the High Coven, but as Midnight Wildes begins, she finds herself stuck —babysitting. Luckily, her charge holds the key to bring down the High Coven.
Goblins don’t like to mix with us too much. Wait, let me rephrase that: On our Earth, Goblins keep themselves hidden by looking like you and me. If they show you their true face, you know you’re trusted. Today, let me introduce you/remind you of three Goblins with key roles in Midnight Wildes.
Teaser met Cesar and CC at the end of Midnight Bites. He’s a Goblin on a mission. What the mission is, he keeps to himself, until someone gets in his way. Once that happens, he’ll do whatever it takes to save his young charges.

Jonesy’s new to the Midnight Whispers series, but he’s one of my favorite characters. Like Teaser, he’s made his home almost exclusively in Las Vegas. Maybe this is the reason I like him. His entire perception of the Peoples of the Earth are those he’s met while living there. On a side note: Don’t ask him why he won’t go back to the Wildes – touchy subject.
Haven’t been able to create an image of Jonesy’s human face – yet.

Cobalt first appears in the short stories Memories of a Kiss and Luna’s Bad Day. In Midnight Wildes, he “calls in” his role. After all, a hobgoblin can’t leave the house it protects. Without him, the rest of the gang would be out of luck.
Is this a face you’d kiss? In Memories of a kiss, he revealed his very romantic self but I can’t see what Danita sees in him.

If the Broom Fits: a Witches of Whynot Short Reads Collection
Today, I introduce you to three humans helping the unhumans (vampires, werewolves, goblins, and all Peoples not defined as human) defend Las Vegas (and the rest of us) from a very bad witch.
Catherine Carson a.k.a. CC: When you first met CC in Midnight Loyalties, she was just another soldier in the fight against unhumans. She didn’t include werewolves on her list of unhumans. A fact she kept secret from the group. By the time she flies to Vegas for a free weekend of fun, she’s on the side of the good guys, no matter what form they take. That’s a good thing. Soon after arriving in Vegas, she’s spelled away and needs all the help she can find to get home.
Frank is the most no-nonsense cop you’ll ever meet. He knows the law (letter and spirit): He does what’s necessary to uphold the law. He expects those who aren’t human to obey the law while walking on this Earth. In Midnight Loyalties, he lead the police investigation into a series of murders. When he realized the murders weren’t entirely human, he did his best to protect his colleagues from the truth. Just what he knows, he keeps to himself – until Midnight Wildes.
Marcus first appears in Midnight Loyalties where he carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. The family business is failing, and he distrusts the man his mother brings in to help. After all, Marcus is the “man of the house.” He should have been consulted. It’s so frustrating: No one listens to him, especially his little sister, Luna. By the time he arrives in Vegas with Frank, he’s not only older and wiser, there’s something special about him. It’ll take a Goblin to help him realize his full potential.

P.S. No images this week. All the AIs I try make women far too thin to be real and the men far too bulky to be real.
