From 2-Time Bram Stoker Award Finalist, Fran Friel:
Bessie has arrived...and she's waiting for you in the Pandemonium Garden!
Time is ticking on for Bessie, but an unexpected gift and an unintended pact results in an unbelievable treasure. Her life is forever changed, but can she make the horrific sacrifice demanded to sustain the lush magic bestowed upon her?
Is it demons or angels that have cast the pandemonium? Grab this "intriguing, unexpected read" and discover this mystical path for yourself!
Praise for "Bessie's Green Thumb":
I love Fran's work. I have found that every one of her stories are intensely memorable and I love the short reads. She is a master of atmosphere, and there is something of real depth in each story if you choose to find it. This whimsical story invites us to reconnect with our Pagan roots and remember the spirit of nature, but no belief is required. It is both a story and an invitation to be enjoyed or pondered in equal measure. It is poignant, heartwarming, and mysterious. Four stars because five is only for the very best of anything, but highly recommended as a great and rewarding way to spend a pound and while away an hour or so in another World.

Praise for Fran Friel's Work:
"Fran Friel...she entertains, she instills honest emotion...and she leaves the reader with more than a little food for thought. We emerge richer for the experience, perhaps even with our world-view slightly altered. What are we witnessing? The beginning of a long and grand writing career."
-Gary Braunbeck - Five-Time Bram Stoker Award-Winning Author
"Fran [is] something else, her work something exceptional. When you hold this kind of ability inside yourself for a long while, eventually when it's time to release it it's like letting loose a stream of fireworks into the night sky."
