 The Sugar Witch by Nathan Sanders is set in the Florida swamp country of the Watchalahoochee River unfolding an at times eerie, weird and often very funny story of what's left of the Bean family, Moses and Sisser, along with Annabelle, the Sugar Witch. And yes, there may be flying cats, casting of spells, country music, not to mention a few possible surprises.

reversed "Sleeping Beauty".

Ravenscroft by Don Nigro pits one British Inspector against five possible murderesses in this send up of the traditional English locked room murder mystery. After the suspicious deaths of the handsome stable boy and Ravenscroft himself, the Inspector finds himself reeling as he tries to divine the truth, any truth, from each of the remarkable women in this house who are seemingly more than a match for him. Sparkling dialogue and very funny.
