For Annette Blair, writing comedy started with a root canal and a reluctant trip to Salem, Massachusetts. Though she had once said she’d never write a contemporary, she stumbled into the serendipitous role of “Accidental Witch Writer” on that trip. Funny how she managed to eat her words, even with an aching jaw. After she turned to writing bewitching romantic comedies, a magic new world opened up to her. She loves her new home at Berkley Sensation.
