About Wyla the Witch: Wyla will cast a spell on you! This charming fantasy for the young-at-heart of any age features good witches and bad witches, good wizards and bad wizards, and adventures in the tidy little village of Myrtle Marsh, six miles east of Flora Forest, and in mysterious more-distant realms. Wyla's neighbors in Myrtle Marsh do not suspect that she is a witch -- a GOOD witch it must be understood! -- nor the challenges faced by Wyla and her friends as cats are strangely disappearing, recruited into a threatening force that Wyla and her good companions must overcome. Wyla the Witch is great fun for readers and makes a great read-aloud, with its deft use of language and well-drawn imagery.
About The Lostcreek Legacy: Mike Doyle sets out to reopen a long-closed mine in California's Gold Country, with results that bring disaster to the town, inflame hatreds, and turn neighbors against one another. Inspired by a true event, this contemporary dramatic novel illuminates what happens when ambition sets off unexpected events. The Lostcreek Legacy will appeal to everyone who has been in California's Mother Lode Country, has seen its isolated towns, and who enjoys a story of people facing challenges in life and in love in a distinctive and historical setting.
Evelyn Swift is a versatile writer of historical novels, contemporary dramatic fiction, and fantasy for the young-at-heart of all ages. Take this opportunity to meet Evelyn and be among the first to buy and Read Wyla the Witch.
Free.

A special treat! Prominent Sacramento artist Ann Bowns will unveil her poster illustrating feature characters of Wyla the Witch! See this fine artist's impressions of Dragonfly, the extraordinary and resourceful dragon, Wyla herself, the good Wizard Woan, and Aunt Bertha in her unique witch's flying vehicle!

There will be a drawing (no purchase necessary, but must complete and turn in entry form at the store) for a $50 gasoline gift card and a $50 McDonald's gift card. Also: journals and notebooks with purchase of Wyla, eye-catching nuggets of fools' gold with purchase of Lostcreek, and even some vials of real gold with larger purchases (while supplies last in each case). Treats for all (including some home-made goodies).
