“Closeted high school sophomore Charlie Creevey finds his world ripped apart when he learns that he hails from a family of witches. He must face his own inner demons in order to stop an evil coven from hunting down and kidnapping teenagers in the greater Seattle area.

Do witches exist? I like to think that they do, because it’s a lot of fun, and beats the heck out of some boring old world with no magic in it!

If they do exist, how many kinds would there be? If you were a witch, what kind would you be?

People Under Jeff’s Spell

  • Ever since Harry Potter and the Twilight series launched into the young adult fiction world, there’s been an onslaught of similar fiction by authors trying in vain to ride the coattails of that magical, witchy, super-power wave. Too many have missed the mark, but not this read!!

    Laura N.
  • What a captivating book! I am eager to read the next book in the series. Excellent story-telling, the plot really sunk in its hooks and didn’t let go until the last word.

    Dorcas K.
  • Read this book! I’ve been on the search for gay fiction that isn’t just trashy–this is the book I wish I could have read when I was a teenager…but sadly didn’t exist.

    Josh S.
  • A must read for anyone who loves fiction and an honest voice! Jeff is so talented can’t wait for the next one!!

    Irie “Lisa”
  • While Rowling’s “Potter” series is a clear influence, Mr Jacobson manages to deliver an original, interesting plot with a rich cast of main characters.

  • I cannot possibly recommend this book highly enough. Thanks to the folks who reviewed it and pointed me in this direction. It’s 12:30 in the morning, I’m only half way through it and I can tell that I’m not going to be getting much sleep tonight because I can’t put this down.

    Christopher S.
  • Jacobson has written a wonderful novel that is full of hidden life lessons for all ages. He is now a member of my favorite top 10 writers club. I counting the days until I have the privilege to buy his second novel! Well done!

    Allen P.
  • I’m glad I found this book. The story is engaging. The lead characters are lovable. I love Charlie, he’s so real and adorable, it makes you want to cheer him on. All in all, I couldn’t wait for the next book.

Jeff Jacobson’s Journey

Jeff Jacobson was born in Seattle in 1968, and grew up enchanted by the lush landscape, the long summer days, and the short winter nights of the Pacific Northwest.

Once, when he was a wee kindergartner, his grandmother let slip that she was a “modern witch, who flew on a vacuum cleaner over his house at night to protect him.”

Jeff had seen her vacuum cleaner. The cord wasn’t long enough to reach his house.

But in bed that night, left alone with creaky sounds and branches scraping over window frames, he decided that having a witch for a grandmother wasn’t such a bad thing. Even if it weren’t true…

I love books, YA lit, writing, witches, issues that affect teens (LGBTQQ as well as straight), etc. If you have an event that would benefit from a passionate, funny, kooky witchy kinda guy, let’s talk!
