Concoctions, treats, brews, and potions from another batch of feisty characters.

​

Whether cooking for solace, scrounging for food, concocting medicine, or brewing poisons, the feisty women in these stories will keep you thirsting for more. Twenty-five tales will transport you far afield in time and place: third century Ireland, medieval Europe, twentieth-century Australia.

 

Read your way from a hippie commune to a WW II internment camp in the Philippines; from a Renaissance palace to a Polish village wracked by war, the hills of Appalachia, and a sleepy Ontario town. Mixtures to soothe, heal, and thrall are prepared in these pages, where lovers take revenge, mothers protect their children, and feisty women make choices in a challenging world.

All proceeds from this anthology go to the Women's Fiction Writers Association (WFWA) Scholarship Fund, assisting authors in financial need.

"I am delighted to welcome you to a world in which women and our many powers take center stage through the arc of history." - From the Foreword by K.J. Dell'Antonia, New York Times best-selling author of the novels The Chicken Sisters, Playing the Witch Card, and In Her Boots
