About The Book

Moira Box, with not a lot going for her, legs it down to Cornwall to join a cantankerous coven of stroppy women. Shapeshifting poor Mogs back to The Burning Times, when women’s role in the lingering rural folkways was disappearing from Merrie England. But today, wild women wrapped in cloaks pop up amongst the Cornish standing stones on a full moon basis! Wriggling out of the closet woodwork, giggling and garnished with glitzy-witchy fashion accessories, still stubbornly non-compliant and undoubtedly up to mischief... Witches and Wisewomen, reclaiming female spirituality, unearthing our buried pagan roots. An outside-the-box book, a feel-good tale, a pick-me-up for the perpetually put-down, a bag of comforts for the comfort eater. Sweep away the acceptable respectable and jump on your broomstick! Fly past perimeters, transcend our taken-for-granted reality and hang on tight for a bumpy ride!

Raves and Reviews

Honourable Mention runner up in A Woman’s Write 2021 novel writing competition: I'm enchanted by Walker's fresh – yet dry! - sense of humour and I know readers will be also. It's rare to find a writer so adept at making fun and pun of even the simplest or most ponderous material, while balancing it with intelligent observations and diligent historical delving. Within a framework of irony and exaggeration and vibrant settings, Walker places a credible, likable central character - Moira, who becomes a witch. A strong story with an enthralling premise that will attract female readers especially!
