Anita Fonteboa discusses the inspiration behind her debut novel and the journey of writing it.

Send us Fan Mail My debut novel, The Whimsical Gifts of Emma, is out now. If you love the charm of Ghost Whisperer and the family vibes of Practical Magic, you will enjoy this romantasy novel. It is a cozy slow-burn romance filled with faith and divine magic.
