Zombies. Ghosts. A serial killer. Demon Chihuahua. So, you know, bring an axe or something. Welcome to Redmondsburg. You’re just gonna love it here! From the tall statue of Hank Redmond – the founder of the town – in Pheasant Park, to the local eateries and historic library over on Whipple Avenue. Main Street is literally gorged with quaint antique emporiums and locally owned trinket shops! You’ll be so busy soaking in the small town atmosphere that you won’t even mind the smell emanating from somewhere south of town. There’s nothing of any interest happening at Lakeshore Cemetery, and there are no strange or repulsive odors. In fact, forget I even mentioned it. Dead means dead in Redmondsburg. We promise. The Mayor, currently campaigning for re-election, is a friendly sort. He isn’t bent on sacrificing an innocent on Halloween in order to bind with an ancient and unholy power. Nope, not him. His little dog isn’t a bloodthirsty demon. Of course not! It’s perfectly safe here. You’re just gonna love it! We all do. Oh and if you see someone that looks dead or something, it’s probably the flu. It definitely wouldn’t be a zombie. Because that would just be stupid. The book is free, so take one!

To a master alchemist like Addie, impossible is just another word for challenge. When a fiery explosion destroys the Alchemica, the premier alchemy institute in the United States, she’s left with nothing. No home, no colleagues, and no memory. Learning what happened seems impossible, but she still has one strength, and in her opinion, it’s the only one she needs. She hasn’t forgotten a thing about alchemy. Addie brews a potion to restore her lost past, but remembers only the flames of the Alchemica’s destruction—and a man among the ashes. A man with the elemental power of fire, who just happens to be the leader of the magical community. He might know what happened, but getting him to tell her will require some…creativity. The magical aren’t fond of alchemists. Some say it borders on hatred, but Addie isn’t one to back down from a challenge, even if that challenge happens to be a man who can turn her to ash with a thought.

The stories range in size from 1,400 words to 9,800 and focuses on the complexities of the human mind (with a couple of supernatural tales thrown in for good measure).

Tudor Witch – Previously published story.Review: By Lord D. M. Prosser (UKLet me say straight away that Charmain Mitchell is an expert at description. By the time I’d heard how Kezziah looked I had no problem in visualising her.By the time I’d finished the story and had read the description of what acts she had to perform I wasn’t sure I’d ever sleep again.This book ‘Perpetual Hell’ manages in it’s few short pages to cram in more than many full novels do but believe me the heroine is not someone you’ll cheer for. Despite the great love she’s meant to hold all I could remember was that her smile didn’t reach the eyes.I’m certainly not sure I’d want a youngster reading this but no doubt they’ve all heard worse at hallowen. I am sure though that most young adults will enjoy the style of this young writer and the fifteen minutes of pure hell the reading gives them. The Man in the Mirror – Never published before. Tale of a fragmented mind. Food for Thought – Never published before. A tasty tale of fear. The Beings – Never published before. A story of a blood lust that will consume the world. Throughout her life, Charmain has wanted to become an author, but family and business commitments stood in the way and her writing consisted of a few short stories on the rare occasion that she had time to write them. In late 2012 a freak accident finally allowed time for Charmain to indulge in her passion for writing. website: www.charmainmariemitchell.com or blog: http://CharmainMitchell.blog
