“My mother told me all about the witches in our family. She heard the stories from her mother, who heard them from her mother, and so on, all the way back to the mid-1800’s, in London, where the twins, Henrietta and Elizabeth, started The Curse.

Henrietta and Elizabeth were inseparable from the time they reached across their mother’s bosom for the other’s hand. Their mother was considered to be the best witch of them all, whatever that silly statement means, and she taught the twins. They practiced their spells in the forest behind the fountains and statues on the manicured estate their mother’s wealthy, titled family owned.

Together Henrietta and Elizabeth had eight children who would later prove to be both saints and raucous sinners, especially the girls, as is often the case in witch families, or so I’m told…”

Jaden Bruxelle is a nurse. She does not believe in ancestral witches or curses or magical spells. She does believe in her nephew, Tate, who lives with her. Tate was born with an oversized head. Academically gifted, he endures taunts and teasing, but rises above it with kindness, jokes, and a brilliant intellect.

Jaden also believes in her mother, Rowan, a blunt speaking internationally famous soap opera star, and her brother, Caden, a single father with four children, three of them triplets, who will only wear Halloween outfits.

But as magic spins in and out of the herbs in her greenhouse, Jaden finally acknowledges The Curse as she smells the scent of death.

A Different Kind of Normal is filled with love, laughter, and inexplicable, mysterious enchantments.
