Meet author JM Kelley.
JM Kelley is the author of Almost Magic, a paranormal romance novel included in the boxed set Enchanted Lover: Tales of Everlasting Love.
When it came to Vivian Burroughs's unique connection with nature, her grandmother always said, "Mediocrity may not burn as bright as a firecracker, but it seldom blows up in your "face.' But the old woman never advised her on what to do when a sexy new neighbor stokes the flames of attraction.

When Almost Magic
was with my lovely editor, Karen, I may have gone through about eighty
different potential titles for the story. I’d never written paranormal before.
I didn’t really know how to capture in just a couple words what was going on in
the pages. The problem, I came to realize, was this: I was trying to find a
complicated title for a simple premise.
Almost
Magic has a good bit of, well…magic. It has witches and ghosts and
mystical matchmaking. But it’s not about that.
It’s about finding magic in the ordinary. According to Vivian
Burroughs, our (slightly) enchanted heroine, her grandmother once told her, “Mediocrity
may not burn as bright as a firecracker, but it seldom blows up in your face.”
This is Vivian’s private mantra. This is what drives her.
Growing up with not-so-ordinary gifts drives her to find extraordinary
ordinariness.
Hopefully, when you get to the end of Almost Magic, you’ll
see the point I was trying to make all along. Magic isn’t just found in the pages
of a book. It’s all around us.
There’s magic to be found in a chilly autumn sunset. In waves
crashing on the shore. There’s magic in a child’s laughter. There’s even magic
there when you’re feeling low and your usually aloof cat chooses that moment to
curl up in your lap and make you feel a little better.
Most of all, there’s magic when you meet that one person who
makes your heart skip a beat every time you hear him speak your name. You know
it has to be magic, too, because while your heart is skipping that beat, you’ve
completely forgotten he’s standing before you, wearing black socks and tan
sandals.
Love isn’t always easy to find, even for those given a
mystical edge in life. In the end, even the most magical among us want the same
thing: Someone who gets us, through
and through.
That’s the enchanted story, and I’m sticking to it.
