Reading an ancient book in her university's library, Mae discovers that the original rain spell called for lemon juice rather than purified water. Together with a friend, she decides to attempt the spell using lemon juice instead.
Not only does the rain fall harder than expected, but it appears that it's imbued with magic. And that magic is seeping into the ground.
Suddenly, the local animals are suddenly able to use magic. Rats can turn invisible. Crows can talk! Given the location of the university, Mae worries about bears and big cats.
She and the other professors must find a way to stop the spread of this magic and return the property to what it once was before something even worse happens!
Autorentext
Bonnie Elizabeth could never decide what to do, so she wrote stories about amazing things and sometimes she even finished them.
While rejection stung her so badly in person, she spent most of her young life talking to cats and dogs rather than people, she was unusually resilient when it came to rejections on her writing, racking up a good number of them.
Floating through a variety of jobs, including veterinary receptionist, cemetery administrator, and finally acupuncturist, she continued to write stories.
When the internet came along (yes, she's old), she started blogging as her cat, because we all know cats don't notice rejection. Then she started publishing.
Bonnie writes in a variety of genres. Her popular Whisper series is contemporary fantasy and her Teenage Fairy Godmother series is written for teens. She has published in a number of anthologies and is working on expanding her writing repertoire.
She lives with her husband (who talks less than she does) and her three cats, who always talk back.
You can find out more about her books at her publisher, My Big Fat Orange Cat Publishing.
