Fantasy readers will know this author as Karen Miller, but to pen this humorous trilogy set in a parallel modern world, she has become K E Mills.  It is a well realized world too that is gradually revealed to us as the story progresses, and it is hard not to like and sympathize with Gerald who makes a good protagonist.  He certainly gets put through the wringer. Despite the laughs, this is not always a particularly sweet tale, and certainly a lot more than a comedy. It could do with some editing as it is a little overlong and tends to get repetitive in several places.  As book one in a series, it is a cracking opener, and has just got particularly interesting, with a lot of loose ends, as the book closes.  Witches Incorporated (Amazon US || UK) and Wizard Squared (Amazon UK) are going to be worth looking out for.
