October is HERE!
Loving this autumn weather! I had an Autumn in a Cup from Starlight Coffee in Georgetown, IN this morning. YUMMY. 
Tim and I saw our first concert (without kids) in…? Ever? 
Rufus Wainwright with the Louisville Orchestra at the Louisville Palace
It was a magical show! We were spellbound.
If you need a little magic in your earholes, here are replays from my AMP shows from last week:
Laid-back hayride vibes
Witchy Wednesday!It’s fall break and we have lots of DIY stuff to get done, but I am going to do shows today, Wednesday, and Saturday, tentatively.
This week begins recording of Miss Fitz and the Hot Patchouli Murder for audiobook. Wish me luck.

Let me tell you a story!
Miss Fitz Discovers Midlife Magic audiobook is available in the iTunes store, Audible, and Amazon!
If you enjoyed my narration of non-fiction The Kitchen Witch’s Guide to the New Weird: Practical Life Magic in the Time of Covid-19 but you wished for my dulcet witchy tones telling you a MAKE BELIEVE story, then you are going to love Miss Fitz on audio!
This audiobook represents a leap of faith on my part. It’s my tenth audiobook, but in some ways, it’s my first. Even though I am not a professional voice actor, I decided to take a chance and voice this cozy paranormal mystery myself, because no one can understand how these characters emote like me. They live in my head, right? Melissa, Bethany, Salma, Sin, the kids, the dogs…COAL? And I can’t imagine someone else voicing witchy Wanda Ackerman, either. Can you?
Honestly, I might go back and re-narrate My Life As a Kitchen Witch eventually, as well, just so it matches The New Weird. Susan Kennedy (who narrated the first book) did a great job, but just for continuity’s sake, you know?
I’m going to start the narration for Miss Fitz and the Hot Patchouli Murder soon*, so why not just narrate all my witchy books, myself, fiction AND non-fiction?
*(How soon? Soon soon. As soon as Sylvie moves.)
Today, I’ll be spinning wickedly fun tunes on my regular Witchy Wednesday show! 1:11 pm EST on AMP

Indie Bookstore, Anniversary, and I Miss Art Bell
Friday was a sweet afternoon! Tim and I went out for lunch for an early anniversary date. Gorgeous day!
We spotted this intriguing fashion down the block from my favorite restaurant (I got to choose!)After lunch, I did the show, and we spent a pleasant evening planning the weekend.
Saturday, Tim did some light plumbing in the kitchen and bath, and we celebrated this triumph with an outing to Lanesville Heritage Festival.
We’d planned on doing I MISS ART BELL that night, but we were pretty tired, so rescheduled to today. Sis tried to be my co-host, but we could not get past technical difficulties. BOO!
I’m grateful to have had some listeners and a caller, though. It was fun to discuss the paranormal for a bit.
In the future, I would like to schedule shows with co-hosts and do this more regularly. If you are interested in co-hosting or being a guest, get in touch.

Spoiler Alerts
Friday at the Indie Bookstore was another eclectic set, starting with a tribute to Amper Emanuel Powells, aka Eman, who passed away last week. I queued up some jazzy shoegaze and more punkish indie stuff. Listen here:

Happy September!
Miss Fitz Discovers Midlife Magic is officially off to the sound engineer. Here’s a sneak peek of the audiobook cover:
This is pending Audible.com’s approval, of course, so it is subject to change. But I’m happy with it so far.
I’d like to say that Miss Fitz and the Hot Patchouli Murder will be ready on audio soon, as well, but I am obviously neither a fast writer NOR a fast narrator! So just keep subscribed to my newsletter and you will be the first to know when each of the audiobooks are available!
What does this mean for Miss Fitz and the Hard NO November ebook/paperback? It’s good news! But I don’t have a deadline or a forecasted date, so…see above re: newsletter, please.
In other witchy news…
Witchy Wednesday 8/30/2023 was extra magical, with a 2+ hour playlist of WORLD MUSIC witchy tunes! Loads of global music, several songs in English, potions that were one part African and one part American, and so on and so on. I hope you will give it a listen on Replay before it goes *poof* like a Weasley Transfiguration spell.
(Note: you need the app to hear the replay…it’s available on Android and iPhone…info here)
Something Catchy 8/28/2023 was spent baking a birthday cake for Tim, AND making him sandwiches. Listen here.
Friday at the Indie Bookstore 8/25 was rocking out with our bookmarks out! All classic rock BANGERS AND SLAPPERS!
