How Witch in Wolf Wood Began
Lindsay Buroker, a prolific indie author known for her fantasy and sci-fi series, launched Witch in Wolf Wood in 2021 as a lighter project amidst her epic fantasy endeavors. Inspired by her love for quirky old houses and the idea of inheriting a magical legacy, Buroker crafted a story set in the fictional town of Bellrock, Washington. The series began with Mind Over Magic, introducing Morgen’s unexpected dive into witchcraft and her grumpy werewolf ally, Amar. Buroker’s goal was to blend urban fantasy with paranormal women’s fiction, targeting a mature audience with a heroine in her forties.
The Heart of Witch in Wolf Wood
The series kicks off with Mind Over Magic, where Morgen inherits her grandmother’s farmhouse, only to discover it’s brimming with witchy artifacts and guarded by Amar, a surly werewolf. As she investigates her grandmother’s suspicious death, Morgen uncovers her own magical powers. Spell Hound, the second book, deepens the mystery as Morgen navigates tensions between local witches and werewolves, with her bond with Amar growing. Moment of Tooth (book four) brings high stakes as Morgen and Amar face a powerful enemy from his past, blending action with their budding romance. Charmed and Dangerous, the fifth installment, wraps up major arcs with thrilling battles and heartfelt resolutions.
Witch in Wolf Wood shines through its themes of self-discovery, empowerment, and found family. Morgen’s transformation from a skeptical techie to a confident witch resonates with readers, especially those craving midlife heroines. The small-town setting of Bellrock, with its magical forests and rival supernatural factions, grounds the fantastical in a cozy yet dangerous vibe. Buroker’s signature humor—think snarky banter and a dog accidentally turned familiar—adds levity, while the slow-burn romance between Morgen and Amar keeps fans swooning.
