Book Signing

Coinciding with our Beltane Ritual on May 2, 2015, Magika is happy to be hosting a book signing for L.S. Gagnon's "Witch Series"! L.S will be here at Magika starting at 12:00 noon and then join us at our Beltane Ritual at 6:00 pm! About the Author Originally from California, L.S. Gagnon moved to Massachusetts to marry the love of her life. With little education, L.S. Gagnon worked in the fields most of her young adult life. Giving her mother a better life always gave her the drive to keep fighting to better herself. She escaped into her dreams from childhood, unknowingly giving her a peek at what she would be creating one day. When she lost her mother, her death sent L.S. into darkness. It was the most heartbreaking thing she’s ever had to live through. “I’ve never felt pain like that before,” she said. “I felt my heart would fall apart.” She credits her husband, and a visit to Salem for bringing her back to life. He gave her the idea for writing, “We were in a book store one day,” she began, “And I couldn’t find a book I liked. My husband turned to me and said, ‘so why don’t you write your own book?’ and those words changed my life forever.” On a visit to Salem, she says the town set her heart racing. “Salem was filled with magic,” she said, “Something in my heart woke up. It was then I realized I wasn’t honoring my mother by being the person she always wanted me to be. The idea for the books came to me that same day. I know in my heart, it was her talking to me.” L.S. Gagnon lives in Massachusetts with her husband and four dogs whom she calls ‘her children.’ She earns a living as an executive chef and pastry chef, but hopes to one day write full time. “There’s so many stories in my head,” she says, “I just don’t have time to write them all down.”
