MAGICALLY DELICIOUS ROAST BEEF PO-BOYS  
Setting the Scene:  
In MISTER MAGIC, Candace owns an isolated inn in Louisiana. Lance is a  
famous magician who has been accused of everything from Satanic worship to murder.  
Will a month with Lance cost Candace more than her heart?  
Excerpt from MISTER MAGIC:  
Candace walked into the empty lobby and knelt next to the tabloid papers Lance  
had thrown across the room. She picked one of them up. There was a photo on the front  
page that had supposedly been taken in Lance’s Los Angeles home. The bed in the  
picture was covered with black satin sheets. Two skull-shaped candles sat on a table on  
either side of it. A large circle with a strange looking star inside of it had been painted on  
the wall above the head of the bed. Candace knew the article inside the paper went into  
detail about the fact that the circle had been painted with blood. She had already read all  
about it when she was in town.  
“It makes quite interesting reading. Wouldn’t you say, Candace?”  
She looked up to find Lance watching her, his green eyes narrowed and angry.  
She wadded the paper up as she stood and walked over to the front desk, where she threw  
it in the wastebasket where trash belonged. She didn’t believe the story. Not after  
spending the last few days with Lance, not after overhearing the heated conversation he  
had with Mr. Walker. Besides, this was real life, not some spine-tingling novel by  
Stephen King. People didn’t make packs with Satan in the real world.  
“I’d have to agree that it’s interesting, but then I’ve always preferred reading  
fiction,” she said with a smile. “After all, it’s usually a lot more excitin’ than the truth.”  
Lance slowly returned her smile. “Well, come on, I have supper waiting. Roast beef po-  
boys.”
