Synopsis

Three hundred and twelve years old, Shelley Kesinkowsky isn't your ordinary, everyday witch; she prides herself on being a modern, computerized witch who has Internet access. She also demonstrates uncharted talents in constructing golems-virtually alive, human-type beings.When planet Earth faces trouble from the fury of the golem legionnaires of Mother Earth, the Grand Council of Wizards turns to Shelley, whose special golem-creating ability suddenly becomes a much needed commodity. The council orders her to create a custom-built golem that will, with the help of Shelley's former nemesis, High Wizard Jason Jeph, mysteriously keep Earth from destruction. Unknown to the young witch, however, is the lethal card Jason holds should Shelley's golem fail. At this point, neither Jason's extraordinarily talented but grumpy hyacinthine macaw, Byching, nor Shelley's special golem, Blue Eyes, will be able to help. Shelley fears she will not be able to create the exact spell to turn Blue Eyes into a golem-killing machine. If she fails, Jason may be forced to invoke the deadly words of the Double Pulsar Cantrip. That could cost both of them their lives.

Review

Like a modern day witch, Sandra Bell Kirchman stirs up a tantalizing brew of mystery, magic and imagination. Forget your plans for the evening, grab a hot drink and a blanket, and settle in to enjoy the fantastic journey awaiting in the pages of Witchcanery. --Dr. Cath Andrews, Research Fellow, Monash University, Australia

Witchcanery drew me into a new world and brought me new friends and new heroes, new magic used in new ways...touching and bright, even when things were very dark. And DARK, things get! The world of Sandra Bell Kirchman's Witchcanery spans a great length of time and we are given but a tasty slice--I hope the hints of more are materializing from the fertile grounds as we watch. --Starhawk Victor, User Support Specialist II, American Red Cross

Highly imaginative. Crisp. Fast-paced. A novel blend of the modern with the ancient. A tale of constructs and covens and finger-wagglers, oh my! --Charles Dupre, Colonel, US Army (Retired)
