New Favorite Author - Ceane O'Hanlon-Lincoln


A wickedly wonderful Saturday to all my lovelies in Blogland.  Like any well rounded Witch, I love to read.  And I have found an Author that can catch my attention & keep me captivated!  How lucky of me is that? I had the chance to meet this wonderful lady this past Autumn when she was giving a talk on Gem Stones & their meanings & uses. I was also lucky enough to become friends with this captivating woman. She has such a positive outlook on life, I swear it leaves me jealous.  
She looks after me too. When I post on Facebook that I am either off to do some ghost hunting or a house cleansing to banish spirits or negativity, Ceane always chimes in suggesting which stones for protection I should carry with me when I go. 
She has written some books on the history of Pennsylvania  & a book of short stories called Autumn Song.

What really caught my witchy eye is her series of Sleuth Sister Mysteries! Three books all about three cousins known as the Sleuth Sisters. And of course they are all magical. Powers they inherited from their grandmother, Granny Mcdonough. Chocked full of adventure, suspense & of course, witchcraft, these books will leave you drooling for more. They did me!


Here is a bit about Ceane that is posted on Amazon in the Kindle Store where you can get these wickedly awesome books for your Kindle:

About the Author~
Ceane O'Hanlon-Lincoln is a native of southwestern Pennsylvania, where she taught high school French until 1985. Already engaged in commercial writing, she immediately began pursuing a career writing both fiction and history.
In the tradition of a great Irish seanchaĆ­ (storyteller), O'Hanlon-Lincoln has been called by many a "state-of-the-heart writer."
In 1987, at Robert Redford's Sundance Institute, two of her screenplays made the "top twenty-five," chosen from thousands of nationwide entries. In 1994, she optioned one of those scripts to Kevin Costner; the other screenplay she reworked and adapted, in 2014, to the first of her Sleuth Sisters Mysteries, The Witches' Time-Key, conceived years ago when Ceane first visited Ireland. As she stood on the sacred Hill of Tara, the wind whispered ancient voices- ancient secrets. O'Hanlon-Lincoln never forgot that very mystical experience.
Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble is the second of the Sleuth Sisters Mysteries, The Witch's Silent Scream the third in the bewitching series. Watch for the fourth exciting Sleuth Sisters adventure- Which Witch is Which?- coming soon.
Ceane has also had a poem published in Great Poems of Our Time. Winner of the Editor's Choice Award, "The Man Who Holds the Reins" appears in the fore of her Autumn Song anthology.
William Colvin, a retired Pennsylvania theatre and English teacher said of her Autumn Song: "The tales rank with those of Rod Sterling and the great O. Henry. O'Hanlon-Lincoln is a master storyteller."


I have also included the link to Amazon for her page. Just saving you some time cause I know you are gonna want to check it out! So click below to be whisked away by the Mcdonough women.

Gotta Get Ready For A Move

Oh friends in Blogland I will be moving in April.  "Whats the problem with that". you say? We will be moving from the Land Of Warm (Florida) to the Land Of Oh Kripes Its Freakin' Freezing. The Hubs & I will be moving to Pennsylvania. Eeeek! Yes I will have to become Nanook of the North. My son is planning on moving his family into the same area we will be heading to so that much is a comfort. Plus we will be only 3 1/2 hours away from my mother-in-law & from where my 2 daughters live with their husbands. I was so happy to move to Florida 13 yrs ago cause I could not handle the cold winters in Maryland where I grew up. Now, after my blood has had 13 yrs to get even thinner I know I will freeze my #%* off!  I will have to get a whole new winter wardrobe & I hate to shop for clothes. Yes, I said it. It makes me a freak I know but I have always hated trying things on. As it stands now my winter wardrobe consists of one pair of jeans & some sweatshirts that belonged to The Hubs before we moved down to Florida. All my turtle necks, sweaters, gloves, scarves & things like that have all either disappeared or have long ago been discarded into the rag pile. I will be leaving this:

For this:

Don't get me wrong friends. I love the snow. When its on a freakin' calendar! My 3 Florida grandchildren will love it I am sure, once they get adjusted to their hands & feet freezing. They have never played in the snow before. My other granchild, Carson  has spent his 3 yrs so far playing in the snow so he is used to it. I will be learning how to hibernate I promise you that! Alas I will have to bid my Land Of Warm farewell & also the hopes of being warm at all before Spring thaw. (sigh) This should turn out to be quite a journey as I can do nothing without a touch of dramatic flair.
