The Secrets of Hawthorne House by Donald Firesmith Genre: YA/MG Urban Fantasy

Matt’s life changes forever when a family of druids moves into the dilapidated Victorian mansion next door. The story of an unlikely friendship, the clash of two completely different cultures, secret magic, and a search for the lost Hawthorne treasure. Fifteen-year-old Matt Mitchell was having the worst summer imaginable. Matt’s misery started when a drunk driver killed his mother. Then his father moved him and his twin sister to the small town of Hawthorne in rural Indiana, as far as his grieving father could take from the ocean that Matt’s mother had loved. At the new high school, three bullies are determined to make Matt miserable. And to top it off, Matt learns that the recluse who lives in the ‘haunted house” next door is none other than Old Lady Hawthorne, the town’s infamous witch and murderer.

A geek by day, Donald Firesmith works as a system and software engineer helping the US Government acquire large, complex software-intensive systems. In this guise, he has authored seven technical books, written numerous software- and system-related articles and papers, and spoken at more conferences than he can possibly remember. He’s also proud to have been named a Distinguished Engineer by the Association of Computing Machinery, although his pride is tempered somewhat by his fear that the term “distinguished” makes him sound like a graybeard academic rather than an active engineer whose beard is still slightly more red than gray. By night and on weekends, his alter ego writes modern paranormal fantasy, apocalyptic science fiction, action and adventure novels and relaxes by handcrafting magic wands from various magical woods and mystical gemstones. His first foray into fiction is the book Magical Wands: A Cornucopia of Wand Lore written under the pen name Wolfrick Ignatius Feuerschmied. He lives in Crafton, Pennsylvania with his wife Becky, and his son Dane, and varying numbers of dogs, cats, and birds. Website * Facebook * Twitter * Bookbub * Amazon * Goodreads

By the final week of October, the tall oaks lining Hawthorne Drive had reached the peak of their
colors, and the first yellow leaves slowly tumbled down to lie on lawns and sidewalks. All along
Hawthorne Drive, the modest one- and two-story houses had been turned into happy Halloween
haunts. Throughout the neighborhood, bright orange lights framed windows and doors, and small
fluttering ghosts hung from the branches of many of the smaller trees in peoples’ yards. Black
plastic spiders sat on the cottony cobwebs that shrouded every bush, while jolly Jack-O-Lanterns
stood silent guard at every porch. Front yards had become grave yards, and the occasional inept
witch hung where she’d crashed headlong into a tree or the side of a house.
Yet the morning of Halloween had arrived with no change to Hawthorne House, making it
appear decidedly underdressed with no sign of Halloween decorations.
“So Gerallt, doesn’t your family celebrate Halloween?” Matt asked as the Hawthorne children
joined Tina and him at the bus stop. “You haven’t put up any decorations, and I haven’t heard
you mention it all month.”
“Of course we observe Halloween, only we call it Samhain,” Gerallt said, exchanging
cautious glances with his sister. Unlike Wiccans, who pronounce the holiday as Sow-in, Gerallt
pronounced the Gaelic word meaning the end of summer as Sahm-wan. “It’s just that for us, the
holiday doesn’t start until dusk, and we always wait until then tah decorate.”
“Tonight is very special tah us,” Gwyneth added solemnly.
“It’s our new year,” Gerallt continued. “We have a feast tah welcome the spirits of those who
will be born in the comin’ year and tah celebrate the lives of those who have passed in the
previous year. Tonight, we’ll celebrate the life of our fathah and welcome his spirit when he
visits us from the Spirit World…”
Before Matt could decide how to respond to Gerallt’s unexpected expectation that his father’s
ghost was going to visit him, Gareth said, “Samhain ‘s my favorite holiday. I love trick-or-
treatin’ and all the candy. Can I go with you and Gerallt tonight? Please? I promise not tah be a
bothah or anything. Please, Matt?”

Regel tested the shackles on his wrists while they walked. There didn’t seem to be any
way to get them off without the key. He knew which guard had the key, the one with the
old, white scar on his left cheek. But how was he going to overpower a half dozen
guards and get the keys before more guards came? He needed the other two men to work
with him, but that seemed to be a lost hope.
“Where are you taking us?” Regel asked the guards.
“We are taking you out to get some exercise,” responded the guard nearest him. One of
the other guards snickered softly, apparently finding it amusing.
“You know,” said Regel, “I don’t feel like exercise today. Could I perhaps go back to
my cell, and we can do this in the morning?”
“Sorry, captain’s orders. We are to take you three out to the courtyard to let you get
some sun and exercise,” stated the same guard.
“Yeah, you guys have been locked up too long,” spoke a second guard. “It will do you
some good to get some exercise. Maybe stretch a little and loosen a little tension in
your necks.”
Two of the guards snickered at that statement. Well, he wasn’t stupid. Regel knew what
they meant to do to them in the courtyard. It was time to look for any opening, and
maybe he would have to scream for help.
The guards marched them down the long hall and through two sets of doors before they
came to an archway leading out into a small courtyard. Two of the guards moved ahead of
the others and entered first. The other four pushed them along from behind. They
hastily stepped out into the sunshine. It was more of a back alley than an open
courtyard.
Without wasting any time, two of the men grabbed Jemen first and stood him near the
wall. The guard who must be in charge spoke. “You have been charged with being a user
of ice magic. You have been found guilty and are hereby sentenced to death. Do you have
any last words, icer?”
Jemen looked at the guards and then at his surroundings, but just hung his head in
defeat. The two guards forced him to his knees, and a third guard stepped forward.
Regel scanned the situation. Ok, three of them were occupied with Jemen. Another guard
held his shackles, and a fifth held Foster’s. The guard who seemed to be in charge
stood off to the side. This might be his only chance, he thought.
The two guards holding Jemen leaned him forward while the third guard drew out his
short sword. Just as he swung the blade over his head to gain momentum, Regel whirled
around and brought his arms up to the guard holding his shackles….
