Can one modern witch and a very confused local town sheriff put an end to a hundred and fifty years of terror? You don’t need magic when you carry a .44 Magnum, but sometimes it really helps!

A Love in Lovett County Story
Part of the Wold Stultus universe
A man loves and nearly loses forever the woman that makes his life complete, but in the struggle to regain her will everything else be lost in the process? Started over a year ago, this was intended to be one of the 'first' Lovett County stories - read my Blog for more details. It is primarily a story of love and unusual relationships, and there is a good deal of sex, but probably no 'scary codes'. It starts fairly slow and the first two chapters are a bit sad.
