jpskewedthrone | Barbara Ashford's SPELLCAST Arrived!!

I got my copy of Barbara Ashford's debut book Spellcast in the mail today. What about you?

Cover Copy: Maggie Graham was having a very bad summer. . . .

First, she lost her job. Then the bathroom ceiling in her Brooklyn apartment collapsed. That was when Maggie decided it was time to run away from home for a while. A weekend in Vermont sounded like the perfect getaway. Spying a road sign for the township of Hillandale, she impulsively took the exit, and randomly turned left toward Dale. For some reason the area felt familiar, especially the big white barn she passed on the way to town.

And, as though everything about this journey was somehow preordained, Maggie ended up auditioning for and being offered a job in the summer stock company of the Crossroads Theatre--housed in that white barn outside of town.

As it turned out, she was practically the only person in the cast with previous acting credits. But none of her professional experience could prepare her for the magic that was about to happen on the stage of this big old barn, or for the theatre's unorthodox staff, especially its moody and mysterious director. . . .
