The word "magic" is loaded, because it means many things to many people. In the Flying Broomstick series the narrator overtly tries to avoid the "magic" term because of its negative connotations to some religions. Yet in my new book, tentatively entitled <em>The Unexpected Traveler</em>, I embrace the word unabashedly. From a literary point of view, it's the author's choice. You might check out the first section of <em>The Unexpected Traveler</em> at <a href="http://mtsneffelspress.com/2010/11/13/help-me-make-my-next-novel-better/" rel="nofollow">this post</a>, which includes enough to show the magic I give the main character, Peter. His magic is the ability to heal wounds. I'll admit I'm rather taken by that idea, and explored it rather thoroughly in the second Flying Broomstick novel (toward the end) and throughout the third Flying Broomstick novel.
