How Two Broomsticks Gas & Grill Began
Amanda M. Lee, a prolific author known for her Wicked Witches of the Midwest series, launched Two Broomsticks Gas & Grill in 2020 with Sinfully Delicious. Inspired by her love for small-town dynamics and supernatural twists, Lee crafted Shadow Hills as a vibrant backdrop where ordinary life meets extraordinary magic. Her goal was to create a series that felt like a warm hug but kept readers guessing with clever mysteries and heartfelt relationships.
Lee’s knack for blending humor and heart shines through, drawing from her experience writing cozy mysteries. The series’ crossover with her Winchester witches from Hemlock Cove adds a layer of fun for longtime fans, making Two Broomsticks a fresh yet familiar addition to her magical universe.
