A Year in Mystic Water
Welcome to Mystic Water, where every month has a story to tell.
This special collection of tales is inspired by the rhythm of the year—twelve months full of magical moments. Some stories are sweet, some a little bittersweet, but all hold a touch of enchantment tucked into everyday life.
As with many stories, some start in the middle, so we begin our tales in September, when figs whisper truths, muscadines carry memories, and a single pear restores sweetness thought lost. More months will follow, each one carrying its own shimmer of magic.
Pull up a chair, pour yourself something warm, and enjoy these stories of Mystic Water—an almanac of wonder, one month at a time.
September Magic
Every September, the Southern town of Mystic Water, Georgia seems to shimmer a little brighter. The air carries the scent of change, and ordinary fruit ripens into something extraordinary.
In this exclusive collection of three whimsical short tales, step into the heart of Mystic Water, where memory, truth, and hope intertwine:
The Muscadine Memory — A jar of homemade jam holds more than sweetness. When Clara tastes her father’s final batch, she discovers memories preserved within it—an invitation to sit with him once more.
The Fig That Spoke Truth — Behind the church, a fig tree bears fruit that never lies. Sweet, bitter, or sharp, its flavors reveal the truths people most need to face—whether they’re ready or not.
The Pear of Sweetness Restored — Each September, a barren tree yields one golden pear. Local lore insists that when shared, the pear restores what you thought you’d lost forever.
Filled with warmth, whimsy, and a touch of fairy-tale magic, September Magic is a gift for readers old and new—a gentle reminder that sometimes the smallest tastes carry the greatest enchantment.

October Secrets
Every October, the Southern town of Mystic Water, Georgia slips into something more magical. Pumpkins glow with unexpected faces, breezes carry secrets through the streets, and ordinary hours stretch into something extraordinary.
In this exclusive collection of three whimsical short tales, step into the heart of Mystic Water, where mystery, memory, and possibility intertwine:
The Pumpkin Watcher — Each year, Myra Stephenson’s porch pumpkin grows a face that foretells the season ahead. But this October, the face is not a smile or a frown—it’s someone she thought she’d lost forever.
The Acorn Pocket Watch — Nestled in Iva’s Antique & Curiosity Shoppe lies a brass watch etched with tiny acorns. It only ticks in October, gifting its keeper an extra hour on the day they most need it. For Elizabeth Calhoun, that gift becomes more than she ever imagined.
The October Wind — The October wind in Mystic Water is playful, mischievous, and wise. This year, it delivers Dawne Collins a letter she wrote long ago—reminding her of dreams she was never meant to forget.
Brimming with charm, mystery, and a touch of fairy-tale wonder, October Secrets invites readers to believe in the whispers of autumn—that sometimes the season itself carries the magic we need most.

November Whispers
Every November, the Southern town of Mystic Water, Georgia, settles into a quieter kind of magic. The air smells of cinnamon and woodsmoke, pies cool on bakery counters, and gratitude breezes through every corner like a gentle song.
In this exclusive collection of three heartwarming short tales, step into the cozy embrace of Mystic Water, where memory, kindness, and a touch of enchantment intertwine.
The Pantry Note — While baking for Thanksgiving, Anna O’Brien finds a note tucked inside a bin of flour—one written in her grandmother’s familiar hand. What begins as a simple reminder soon stirs something deeper: a lesson in gratitude that lingers long after the oven cools.
The Whispering Pages — On a gray November afternoon, Daniel ducks into Second Chapter Books to escape the rain. When he opens a mystery novel, he finds an old recipe card tucked between the pages—one that unlocks a forgotten memory and a moment of quiet magic he never saw coming.
The Enchanted Kettle — When a new tea shop opens on Main Street, its owner, Maribel, serves more than tea. Each blend carries a small enchantment—memories, wishes, dreams—and those who stop to sip soon discover that gratitude can steep deeper than flavor.
Infused with warmth, wonder, and the gentle spirit of Thanksgiving, November Whispers invites you to pause, savor, and remember that gratitude itself is a form of magic—one that can turn even the simplest moment into something extraordinary.

December Light
Every December, the Southern town of Mystic Water, Georgia, shimmers with a different kind of magic. Snow falls softly (when it chooses to fall at all), lamplight glows warm against frosted windows, and the month swells with stories waiting to be told. In this exclusive collection of three enchanting winter tales, slip into the heart of Mystic Water, where hope glimmers, stories gather, and the season’s wonders unfold.
The Snow Globe Society — Inside Bea’s Bakery, a secret December tradition brings together the women of Mystic Water and the enchanted snow globes that choose them.

The Midnight Cocoa Club — On the longest night of the year, the library opens after midnight for those who can’t sleep and those who need to be heard. With each mug of strangely wise cocoa and each story shared in the circle, this night proves to be extra magical, especially after a mysterious stranger arrives bearing a gift from the past.
The Post Office of Lost Wishes — When Iris Bloom is tasked with cleaning Mystic Water’s abandoned post office, she discovers enchanted envelopes filled with the town’s unspoken wishes. As she becomes the unlikely keeper of hope, Iris must grant one final wish—her own.
Woven with warmth, wonder, and the quiet enchantment of winter, December Whispers invites you to linger a little longer in Mystic Water, where even the coldest nights sparkle with possibilities and every wish has a chance to find its way home.
