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.

25 Roses


25 Roses

Stephanie Faris
 


Blurb:

Mia moves from the shadows to the spotlight when her matchmaking plans go awry in this contemporary M!X novel from the author of 30 Days of No Gossip.

Mia is used to feeling overlooked: her perfect older sister gets all the attention at home, and the popular clique at school are basically experts at ignoring her. So when it’s time for the annual Student Council chocolate rose sale, Mia is prepared to feel even worse. Because even though anyone can buy and send roses to their crushes and friends, the same (popular) people always end up with roses while everyone else gets left out.

Except a twist of fate puts Mia in charge of selling the roses this year—and that means things are going to change. With a little creativity, Mia makes sure the kids who usually leave empty-handed suddenly find themselves the object of someone’s affection. But her scheme starts to unravel when she realizes that being a secret matchmaker isn’t easy—and neither is being in the spotlight. 
  

Bio:
Stephanie Faris knew she wanted to be an author from a very young age. In fact, her mother often told her to stop reading so much and go outside and play with the other kids. After graduating from Middle Tennessee State University with a Bachelor of Science in broadcast journalism, she somehow found herself working in information technology. But she never stopped writing.


Stephanie is the author of 30 Days of No Gossip and 25 Roses, both with Aladdin M!x. When she isn’t crafting fiction, she writes for a variety of online websites on the topics of business, technology, and her favorite subject of all—fashion. She lives in Nashville with her husband, a sales executive.
