FROM BOOK ONE
Excerpt
My parents think the longer the name, the more powerful the
sorcerer, so they named me Cassandra Morgan Ursula Margaret Scot. You can call
me Cassie.
I've been called a lot of things in my life: normal,
ordinary, and even a disappointment. After the Harry Potter books came out, a
couple of people called me a squib. Since I haven't read them, I have to assume
it's a compliment.
Personally, I prefer normal, which is why the sign on my
office door reads: Cassie Scot, Normal Detective.
You have to understand that around here, when your last name
is Scot, people are easily confused. Not only are my parents powerful
practitioners, but I have six talented brothers and sisters. Plus, my family
hasn't always been known for its subtlety. When weird stuff happens around
here, the people who are willing to believe in magic are prone to suspect the
Scots.
The day I opened for business I got a call from an old woman
who swore her cat was possessed by the devil. She also swore she'd read my web
site, which clearly stated the types of work I did and did not do. Exorcisms
were on the No list, and while I hadn't specified pet exorcisms, I would have
thought it was implicit.
