Landon Calling: A Wicked Witches of the Midwest Short

Landon Michaels is one busy FBI agent.
In addition to a special law enforcement gathering where he has an authoritarian presence, he’s in the midst of moving in with his girlfriend, Bay Winchester. It just so happens that the gathering – a conference where local police officers and agents can learn about new technology – is being hosted in his soon-to-be hometown of Hemlock Cove. In fact, multiple law enforcement representatives will be staying at the inn Bay’s mother and aunts run.
It’s a weekend that promises a little bit of everything, including work and fun.
Landon is looking forward to the event but nerves are eating at him and things only get worse when Aunt Tillie realizes that ‘The Man’ (in the form of multiple bossy figures) is going to be watching her every move for the duration of the weekend … and she’s not happy.
Landon is happy to spend time with Bay – even introducing her to a bevy of colleagues – but things shift a bit when a local woman goes missing and Bay becomes obsessed with finding her. Since she’s a witch and magic – and occasionally mayhem – follows Bay wherever she goes, Landon has his hands full putting on a good show for his co-workers and helping Bay stay out of trouble.
Landon is determined to prove that he can have it all, a magical girlfriend and her wacky family included. To get what he wants, though, he has to make it through a tough weekend … oh, and solve a crime on the side.
