A Wizard Learns The Trade of Magic and The Magic of Love
A Review of
P J Renfroe Wizard and the Blue Witch (Create Space, 2013)
170 pp $7.95 ISBN: 9781481040600
Reviewer: Forrest Schultz
In this delightful tale by Peggie DeWine, who writes under the pseudonymn of P J Renfroe, both the Wizard and the Blue Witch are the main "good guys", who are arrayed against "bad guys" both supernatural (such as vampires) and political (The One World Order). I suppose that the main reason the tale is so delightful is that both the Wizard and The Blue Witch are such delightful characters, with whom it is easy to empathize and care about. If, at the end of a story, you have a longing to read more about characters such as these, then you know you have read a good read. AND we learn at the very end of the story that this opportunity will be provided because a sequel has been written which will be published a few months hence -- Cajax Learns The Trade. I am looking forward to it.
And that is about all I wish to say here, except for the addendum that the author also spins good tales in other genres, e.g. her science fiction story Blue Snake Running and her mystery story The Black Valise, which I also recommend. Information on Renfroe and the other members of the Henry County, Georgia based Heritage Writers Group, which she founded, is available at http://heritagewritersga.weebly.com/.
