The Wicked Witch is up to mischief...again!
This collection of five short stories explores Fairyland.

 

The Wicked Witch has been spotted flying high above the forest. The animals scamper into hiding. A cold damp winter is fast approaching, and the Wicked Witch needs a warm cloak. Could squirrels’ tails be the answer? Not if the Good Fairy has anything to do with it.

 

You'll follow the ongoing saga between the Good Fairy and her nemesis, the Wicked Witch, and get introduced to other fairies, including the Treasure Fairy.

 


The Wicked Witch is not the best cook. Her favorite concoction is ‘rat and cockroach stew with turnips and horseradish.’ The great thing about this stew is you can keep it bubbling for days—just top the cauldron off with rain water…and with these ingredients, you have to!

Keith and Judy both love fish and chips, especially served in newspaper.

For dinner, Beef Wellington with peas and mashed potatoes, followed by something stodgy for Keith like a Bakewell tart with custard, and a trifle for Judy.

 About the authors


 



Judy and Keith have been married for fifty years.

They’re now semiretired and living in the South Bay, Los Angeles. Both were born and raised in the same town in England during the early fifties. It boasts a haunted Norman castle, a Saxon burh, a church with a double-spiral staircase, and inspires many of their stories. They relocated to Los Angeles in the late eighties.

Judy and Keith write sweet romance, young adult, middle grade, and children's stories. Each story emphasizes a moral and must pass the acid test, would they be happy if their own grandchildren read it? Judy also composes keyboard music.

They have two sons and two grandsons.

Ketch-Up Day

 


 How are you? How goes your week? We went to Mooresville and putzed around. Oh my gosh. There's so much Halloween decos out.  I love it. It's fun. Halloween is certainly giving Christmas a run for its money. Money being the operative word. Heh. The HH surprised me with this mug for me.

I'm still weeding and staining the fence. I will be finished....Someday. Maybe.

I was reading an old favorite, a Barbara Michaels' paperback, and I frequently had to stop and and tape pages back together. Out of curiosity, I checked the copyright date to give me a clue as to when I bought it. That paperback was over fifty years old!

AND

The Eternal Garden  and critters in it:)

 

I find these guys fascinating.

 




I'm fascinated by this hibiscus. After the bloom falls off, what is left looks a flower, doesn't it?

 


AND

From California.

Thanks, Denise;) xo
