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.

Secrets in the Breeze — 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.
