SAMANTHA SPÜK: PARANORMAL WEDDING PLANNER
(Saga Press, 2026)
Freshly graduated accountant Samantha Spük wants nothing to more than to escape her family's zany, witchy legacy, but when she gets trapped in Salem, MA, she tumbles into the paranormal wedding planning scene. As she puts on weddings for vampires, werewolves, and mermaids, she’s besieged by spooky hi-jinks and monstrous misadventures. Yet somehow she falls in love—and discovers that maybe she doesn’t want to be “normal” all that much, after all.
Coming from Saga Press (imprint of Simon & Schuster) in the summer of 2026!
