IT TAKES A WITCH
A Wishcraft Mystery
BY HEATHER BLAKE
Usually I’m not in the habit of tiptoeing through strange houses under the cover of darkness.
It was unsettling to say the least, and I felt completely out of sorts. My outfit only added to my discomfort. The flouncy, frilly pink satin bodysuit, tulle tutu, and pink ballet slippers were a far cry from my usual jeans and tee.
It didn’t help that my every move was being watched closely.
As I crept up aged wooden stairs of a large house along the coast of Salem, Massachusetts, Amanda Goodwin followed behind me with her mother-in-law, Cherise, bringing up the rear. They’d ushered me straight upstairs as soon as I’d arrived, their eyes lit like they were two little girls sneaking a peek at Santa. At the top of the steps, a long hallway branched into four bedrooms, one of which had its door closed. Pink and black polka-dotted block letters attached to the wood paneling declared it as my destination: Laurel Grace Goodwin’s bedroom.
“Have you done this before, Ms. Merriweather?” Amanda asked softly, tugging on my gossamer wings. ....If you would like to read the rest of this excerpt, you can by visiting Heather Blake's website HERE.

Her list is much longer at her blog and I think it's interesting that Heather is a closet Hall and Oates fan!

I think this book should be a fun read since the witch is just learning her trade.
suefarrell.farrell@gmail.com
From her website, I read the first page of this book and I saw that the story is set in Salem, Massachuetts. I visited Salem once and didn't want to leave. It is so full of history and it also has a very strange feeling of oldness and mystery about it.

I just had to check the author's website to see what #22 was---she hates centipedes!!
