Series background & context

The Modern Witch series is where Debora Geary’s fictional universe begins. These contemporary fantasy novels introduce a world in which magic is real but quiet, woven into ordinary jobs, parenting and friendships, and held together by a global community of witches who mostly meet online.

It all starts with A Modern Witch, in which Lauren, a successful young realtor in Chicago, clicks into what she thinks is a normal website and is yanked into Witches Chat by a fetching spell that is not supposed to make mistakes. The witches on the other end insist she must be one of them. Lauren, who has made a life out of self-reliance and hard work, suddenly has to grapple with telekinesis, spell-coded software and a loud, loving clan based in a Berkeley shop called Witch Central.

Subsequent books widen that circle. A Hidden Witch takes readers to Fisher’s Cove, Nova Scotia, where Elorie Shaw grew up in a traditional witching family but has never shown any magic of her own. When Witches Chat reaches for her anyway, she has to rethink what “being a witch” even means. A Reckless Witch introduces Sierra, a storm-chasing teen who has spent her childhood traveling the globe with her magical mother and never really had to follow rules.

Later installments bring in a nomadic witch, a brilliant but introverted coder, a sea-touched Celtic clan and others. Settings range from sunny California beaches to foggy coasts and Irish-flavored villages. Throughout, spells might be cast with a broom or with elegant lines of code, and the dividing line between “mundane” and “magical” life is deliberately thin.

Shorter pieces like A Witch Central Wedding and Swordfights & Lullabies act as snapshots between the larger novels. They offer glimpses of weddings, babies and quiet turning points, deepening relationships that have been building over several books.

What makes Modern Witch distinctive is its tone. Conflicts exist, but they are rarely about beating a villain. More often they involve learning to trust, setting healthy boundaries, facing grief or accepting an unexpected future. There is plenty of humor, from broomstick mishaps to tech jokes, and the stories are generous with baked goods and knitwear.

These books are best read in publication order, beginning with A Modern Witch. From there, readers can follow the main sequence straight through or braid in the WitchLight Trilogy and the Witch Central books at the suggested points for an even richer sense of how this magical family grows over time.
