Fable of a neglected Sofa

"It was Midsummer's Eve, and the moon above was full and bright, bathing both stone and grass in silver light. As I looked about, I wondered why I came." (From, A Midsummer Mischief) A collection of thirteen short stories and chapters of flash fiction, inspired by magic and witchcraft, the paranormal and metaphysical. Some are light, some are dark. Some contain an element of fantasy whilst others are perhaps a little more grounded in the real world. Tarot, familiars, magic and spells, the fae, paganism...they are all mentioned within... I hope you enjoy reading these short magical tales! Author Note: This collection was updated September 2022, in anticipation of working on the rest of the series...

"I am about to set you a challenge, Miss Jones, one that has very real life and death consequences." Andromache Jones is a tarot-reading witch from the sleepy village of Bramblesgrove, where she runs River Gardens Mystical Services. From here, she gives tarot readings, casts runes, gazes lovingly at the moon and stars, plays with crystals and herbs...and sometimes solves crimes. She likes to think of herself as a part-time private detective who untangles mysteries, but really she is an amateur sleuth who happens to attract trouble - and troublesome clients. Andromache Jones has somehow managed to capture the attention of The Magician and finds herself caught up in The Game, his challenge that has very real life and death consequences, and not only for her. Can she complete the test he has set in the allotted time and live to see another day, or will failure, and The Magician triumph? This 10th Anniversary 2nd Edition was updated February - March 2023.
