 It's brief, and it will definitely need to be edited, possibly changing a lot before it's finally published (and I have no idea when that will be...I'm at the very beginning of the process), but here's a little preview of my first Halloween-themed children's book, the second Mixter Twizzle tale:  It’s that time of year In the neighbourhood of kale Where ornamental cabbages adorn The gardens and boulevards Mini demon and imp extraordinaire Mixter Twizzle does conjure his friends For the one time of year they might Galavant in the public square. It is Halloween, The eve of thin veils Between the world of peoples and animals, And the land of shadows where monsters do dwell– When they are not cavorting with chickens And other farm friends. This year, Mixter’s hundred and thirteenth… Mixter does dress his chick—now well on her way to henhood– In the garb of a spooky creature, So she might go forth with Mixter and company Into the night of revels and treats. When his little hen, Harley, is dressed and ready He casts his invocation spell To call on his friends beyond the veil Who do not live beneath a coop at Riverdale Farm Like Mixter does. A dash of witch hazel into a black pot of hot water, A splash of holiday latte with whipped cream, A pinch of petrified candy corn, A smash of smirking jack-o-lantern, Then Mixter mixes, one, two, three… …the froth bubbles forth And explodes with light and smoke Then is it the right time for Mixter’s chant… “On Gnazzleboot, on Aarobellow, On Zinfoot and Cinobrillow! On Shockofane, Jack-o-Blitz, Bristolbane, Krinkelnitz On Swizzfizzbinn, on Roarefaction, On … Frank! Sally forthwiths and meets with me For Halloween treatses and revelses of glee!”  You can get the first Mixter Twizzle book through my website, Mirror World Publishing's shop, and Amazon!
