Erin wanted to give her daughter, Charlie, a normal childhood, but Charlie isn't a normal child. Charlie and her mother are both witches. After escaping government captors, Erin gave birth on the run and spent many years moving Charlie from town to town to avoid being locked up and experimented on. When Charlie started high school, Erin made a promise they wouldn't move again until she had graduated. Now, they've made it to senior year without issue but when a new kid shows up at school, Charlie notices something strange about him. In order to uncover the truth, she begins acting out of character and going behind her mother's back to handle everything on her own. Charlie's reckless behavior opens the door for trouble to quickly find them once again. With Erin as her teacher, Charlie still has a lot to learn before she is ready to face the unknown evils that have been after them for all these years.

Witches In Suburbia

“Charlie!” I wake up out of a dead sleep, sweating and panting. Mom’s voice echoes in my head. It’s almost as if she is in the room with me.


“Mom?” I say into the darkness of my room but nothing and no one responds. It sounded so real though. I look around the empty room and then fall back into the pillows. I sigh and try to close my eyes to sleep a little bit longer. 


I’ve drifted off to sleep a few minutes later but the loud lock on the door startles me awake. I stay silent and still in bed, trying to use my peripherals to see who came into the room. 


“Max?” I sit up when I see his familiar figure in my room. “What happened? What are you doing here?” I get out of bed and meet him halfway from the door. He looks frantic and worried.


“We have to go now,” He says then bypasses me and starts throwing some of the clothes from the closet into a bag he brought. Then he grabs some of the prewrapped food from the tray that I hadn’t gotten to yet.
