Witches Chillers

What few people may know about Wiccan author Silver RavenWolf is that she writes fiction.

The Witches' Chillers series is a mystery series aimed at teens that generally attempts to conduct Charmed-style goings-on in a more realistic realm. The series centres on three (originally five) teen witches who form a coven called Witches' Night Out. These witches are:

• Bethany Salem, the head of the circle.
• Tillie Alexander, the token black girl
• Nam Chu, the Asian girl who colour-coordinates to the last thread.

Other characters include the mysterious maid and Author Avatar Ramona, who turns out to be a powerful Witch herself.

The three books in the series are:

• Witches' Night Out: Bethany calls The Wild Hunt in order to find out who killed her boyfriend. The original Five-Man Band is whittled down in this book.
• Witches' Night Of Fear: Bethany has to solve a murder before it happens.
• Witches' Key To Terror: a farmer girl asks Witches' Night Out to solve some strange happenings in her town.
