Janni Nell: Welcome, Maddie. What was your life like growing up?
Maddie Goodcharm: I lived out of town on a few acres with my extended family. There were two houses. Mom, Dad and I lived in one of them. Grammy and Grandad, Mom’s parents, lived in the other. I wasn’t bothered that I was an only child. There were cousins who visited often and I spent a lot of time helping Grammy care for her animals.
JN: You run a shop of spells in the small town of Silver Moon Falls. Describe your shop.
MG: It’s on Main Street, between the Silver Moon Bakery and Kylie-Ann’s hairdressing salon. We sell all kinds of spells, which I make in the workroom at my house.
JN: Tell me about some of the spells.
MG: Green Thumb spells are better than the best fertilizer. A Happy Household spell will create a lovely soothing atmosphere for your home. And my Bubble Bath spell is like having the best massage of your entire life.
JN: Do you have a motto or code you live by?
MG: I like to help people. If I can make someone feel better with one of my spells it’s a good day. I guess my motto would be: Do good, not harm.
JN: What is your major skill or talent?
MG: Since I’m a witch by trade, it would be creating new spells.
JN: What is your favorite food?
MG: Cinnamon buns from the Silver Moon Bakery, which is conveniently located right next door to my own shop.
JN: Who do you love?
MG: My family. Well, except for my cousin, Denzel, who dabbles on the darker side of witchcraft.
JN: What’s the best thing you’ve ever done?
MG: Hiring my assistant, Autumn. She arrived in town with nothing but a backpack and the desire to change her life. I gave her a job and a place to live. We had a few problems in the beginning, but now it’s working out fine.
JN: What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done?
MG: I accidentally harmed someone with a spell. It was carelessness on my part, and the person may never be the same again.
JN: Who inspires you?
MG: My family.
JN: Other than your family, who inspires you?
MG: Aberdeen Zabala, who is one of the greatest living witches. I almost won a mentorship with her a few years ago, but it didn’t quite work out.
JN: You run Maddie’s Little Shop of Spells. If you had to pick another career, what would it be?
MG: That’s a tough question. I love my job. But, I guess, if I had to change, maybe I’d become an investigator. I’ve had some success solving murder mysteries. Although, honestly, we’ve had enough murders in Silver Moon Falls to last a lifetime.
JN: Your uncle, Leo Bluestone, is the local sheriff. How does he feel about you solving murders?
MG: He doesn’t like it when I put myself in danger. Basically, he thinks I should stick to making spells for my shop. On the other hand, he fights crime, so locking up a murderer, even with my help, is a win for him.
JN: What are your future plans?
MG: All I can tell
you right now is that they involve Jason.
JN: Thanks
for letting us take a peek into your life.
MG: My pleasure.
And if you’re ever in Silver Moon Falls drop by. We’re a friendly town. The hiking
trails and falls are awesome.
