Talking to the Moon by Ineda Pearl
Talking to the Moon is an emotionally charged contemporary romance about a young woman rebuilding her life after abuse—and the love that helps her rediscover who she truly is. Set against the backdrop of Hawaii, Selene finds healing in her best friend Sam’s family home and an unexpected connection with Sam’s older brother, Johnny—a world-famous musician with a quiet soul. As her past resurfaces, Selene must decide if she’s ready to fight for the future she never thought she deserved.
Ineda Pearl is a Boston-based writer and counseling student with a focus on family and relationships, she has been telling stories since she was thirteen. With over 35,000 readers on Wattpad, she's spent years refining her voice and emotional depth through real-time connection and feedback.
The Plymbury Witch by Kendra Vaughan
Nestled along the coast of Massachusetts sits the town of Plymbury — steeped in history, tradition, and an undercurrent of magic.
Ravenna Greene has inherited the Sea Glass Apothecary, a shop rooted in local legend. For generations, sea glass stars have been used to grant wishes, guided by the quiet magic of the women who tend the shop.
When Pastor Chase Wilkinson arrives in Plymbury, his presence ignites long-standing prejudice and leads to a devastating fire that destroys the apothecary. With nowhere else to turn, Ravenna accepts temporary space in Chase’s church — under one condition: no magic.
Caught between her heritage and a life that promises safety and acceptance, Ravenna must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice — and what she cannot. A story of love, belief, and the quiet power of choosing oneself.
Kendra Vaughan is a bestselling author of magical realism and contemporary fiction, known for stories that weave subtle magic with emotional honesty and deep sense of place. Her debut novel, The Plymbury Witch (2024), became a Top 5 Fiction Bestseller at Barnes & Noble Hingham and a Top 2 Bestselling Magical Realism title on IngramSpark.
Set in the fictional seaside town of Plymbury, Massachusetts, Kendra’s work explores themes of belonging, compassion, spiritual misunderstanding, and the quiet ways people change when they are finally seen. Her writing reflects a belief that magic does not arrive loudly, but often appears in moments of stillness, choice, and human connection.
Kendra holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University and has a professional background as a freelance editor and ghostwriter for Simon & Schuster–published titles. She lives in Massachusetts, where she writes and occasionally speaks about publishing and the creative process.
