I have some exciting freebie news for you (scroll down for that). But first, a very thoughtful review for Hidden Coven appeared on Amazon last week (thank you anahatalov!). Here’s a snippet:
“There also seems to be a strong unspoken connection between the Hidden Coven series and the Valkyrie Beastiary series. I won’t say how here (because, you know, spoilers and all that) but, I would totally recommend reading the Hidden Coven series first and follow it up with the prequel to the Valkyrie Beastiary series Three Half-Goats Gruff and so on. It won’t take long to spot the connection. Have Fun!”
If you got the chance to pick up the Hidden Coven during the sale last week, and you’ve read Dragons Don’t Eat Meat (or the other Valkyrie Bestiary books), I’d love to hear your thoughts about this “connection.” You can add a comment below.
Here’s a hint. At the end of Hidden Coven….
—-Spoiler Alert!
If you haven’t finished reading Hidden Coven, you might want to skip this next purple section. Start reading again when you see the black text 🙂

At the end of Hidden Coven….there is a hole in the veil to a demon world. In the Valkyrie Bestiary books the Flood Wars are referenced as a time when demons came through holes in dimensions. Hmmm. In Hidden Coven, Bobbi’s powers begin to manifest after she senses a strong surge of magic in her area. Could this be the genesis of the return of magic that brings on the Flood Wars? Hmmm.
In truth, I didn’t set out write 2 connected series, but the connection is evident. I actually wrote Dragons Don’t Eat Meat before Hidden Coven and wasn’t happy with the first draft, so I put it aside. Clearly, these ideas of demons, holes in the veil, and magic surges were swirling around in my subconscious. So when I went back to the Valkyrie Bestiary books after publishing Hidden Coven, I strengthened those connections.
So what do you think? Could Bobbi and her witch friends be (at least partly) responsible for the Flood Wars? I’d love to hear what you think. You can reply right to this email with your thoughts or post a comment on the blog.
