"Mommy's made you pancakes today!" I jovially set them in front of my daughter and sat down for my own.
"Mommy, Mommy, pass me the syrup!"
"Say the magic word~!" I drew it out.
"Abracadabra!"
(ಠ_ಠ)
I have no idea if I failed as a parent or succeeded as a witch, but it happened.

"[I]t’s always a boon when Charlie Jane Anders releases a new novel. Even better, this time she totally surprised me... Lessons in Magic and Disaster is a book for anyone who’s ever tried to 'fix' a parent and every grown-up kid who’s ever whispered wishes to a tree." 🙀😻🐯

It's the sort of thing that a determined sceptic can easily dismiss as an anecdote, and indeed, there's no way to prove it unless you were there.

I've been #writing a #book for about 25 years. It's "the" book in that it's scooped up several of my other story ideas and merged it into a single behemoth. It's a speculative #fiction story with an alternate world, some things that characters would call #magic, and an epic story at the heart.
