Online article published

I’ve started writing for Modern-Witch.com. I’m somewhat closeted about it—no one uses their real name on the site—but wanted to share this news with you all. This, my first article, is for a bead-and-wire craft project. If you have written a new-ish book that would appeal to young-ish neopagans, let me know and I will see about writing a review.

I just saw your February comment about my character Ellen...I don't get here too often...thanks. It means a lot.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Loretta. I'm so happy you enjoyed Daughters of the Witching Hill! I really felt for these people and wanted to do justice to their story. It was really important for me that they were finally able to tell their story in their own "voice," and for that I used as many unique dialect words I could glean from the original court transcripts (ie daylight gate, skriking, clay pictures, etc.). I live in the Pendle region and am surrounded by these unique dialect/speech patterns which I find very evocative. Thanks for asking. :)

Hiya. I could send my story by the coming weekend. Aaaaaand I'd like it back within two weeks. But I'm really in no rush either way.

Also, I wouldn't mind taking a look at your Snowflake docs. If they're that short, you can just send them to my SheWrites account whenever they're ready.

Hi! Thanks for friending me! Yes, Greta gave my story a good critique. Thanks for offering! I do have another one I was going to offer up for a reading, but it's around 7,000 words. Would you be interested in looking at it? If not, it's totally OK!
