Finding Her A-Muse-Ment (Wiccan Haus series)

By Rebecca Royce

Welcome back to the Wiccan Haus!

Author Susie Charlie has finally finished her bestselling series, but constant writing has turned her into a shut-in. And, unable to produce any new work, her Muse, Isyllus, is terrified he'll be forced to leave her. He must find a way to put the idea of the Wiccan Haus into her mind.

But, once on the island, Susie can actually see Isyllus and his love from a distance becomes a hot, potent entity between them. Danger and deception threaten to keep them apart. Still, the question remains, can an author really fall in love with her Muse?

In the Wiccan Haus, anything is possible.

A Letter From Rebecca

Dear Reader

Thanks so much for picking up Finding Her A-Muse-Ment. I loved writing it. If you are just joining us for the first time at the Wiccan Haus, welcome. If you are coming back for another ride with Rekkus, Sage and the others, then I’m so glad you decided to return.

In this story, I’ve played with some Greek mythology. Any mistakes I’ve made I hope you will forgive as literary bumps in the hope of making a really great story. I love the Wiccan Haus and the endless chance for healing and love in this crazy world.

Do check out my website www.rebeccaroyce.com for information about all of my work. I hope you are well.

Love and Joy,

Rebecca Royce

A Wiccan Haus Story

Chapter One

Isyllus stared at the woman he had adored since coming to consciousness next to her on her eighteenth birthday. Susan Charlie. Better known to the public as Charlie Preston, whose books had appeared on the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists more times than any other living author.

Susie was how he thought of her.

She stared blankly at the computer screen in front of her. Her hands weren’t even poised over the keyboard, indicating she wasn’t attempting whatsoever to put a word on the page. To her left sat a pad of paper. Using the older methods hadn’t stimulated her creativity. On the other side of her writing desk a solitary goldfish swam in a small, portable fishbowl. She called the creature George.

Sometimes she spoke to George, but other than him, she didn’t communicate with anybody directly. Not anymore.

Isyllus rubbed his eyes. If she didn’t start listening to him again, if she couldn’t use his presence—a presence, granted, unknown to her—he would be sent away.

Never to return to her side.

He couldn’t go. Not when they’d done so much work together, created such a brilliant collection of characters they made people feel things when they read her words. Not when he’d fallen in love with her.

He gulped. Isyllus knew better than to even think those words. Muses did not fall for their charges. Humans lived and died. When their natural endings happened, Muses were sent to spark more creativity in a new artist. Loving a human could bring only pain.

She’d never see him, never understand he’d sat next to her during her most poignant moments of creative bliss and applauded her true talent.

None of what they’d been through in the past even mattered. If Susie didn’t start doing what Susie did best, very shortly the Fates would send him to someone who did. His new assignment could be anywhere, anytime. He’d never see her again.

Susie. He bent down next to her. I need you to hear me.

It used to be he spoke and she reacted on the page, even without knowing she had. She could hear him. He waited a beat to see if she would.

Susie leaned back in her chair, her eyes still a blank page. Nothing. As it had been for days.

You can’t stay in this house anymore. You have to at least go outside. He pointed at the window. "It’s a beautiful day, the middle of summer. Not even the slightest
