Hot Witches Invade New York!

Hi all,

I've got the New York fever this week beginning with my book promotional party at NYC's most reputable comic store, Forbidden Planet.
My window display is looking fabulous and I can't wait for Thursday's event! [caption id="attachment_417" align="alignnone" width="300"] Woo!![/caption]

Graphic novel released on Holt

The fun isn't over yet! Don't forget my art show is also this week.

And I want to give a shout out to my patient, wonderful gallerist and friend who also wrote a mystery novel. It's only $2.99 right now and a portion of the proceeds are being donated to animal charity. It's a good cause my friends! Check out her novel on amazon:

NNN Cabaret & Pagan Pride in Sav, Forbidden Planet book release, Comic Con, Gallery exhibit for Hot witches in NYC

Hi everyone!
It's the Season of the Witch, and there are all kinds of upcoming events for my new book release for Handbook for Hot Witches.
Those of you who call the most Haunted City in America, Savannah, your home, adorn your finest pirate, sailor, and mermaid costume and please come celebrate my book release party for Handbook For Hot Witches. It's at the SpareTime on the 28th (Friday) at 9:00p.m. All the performers are ladies of various talents and all ages, we have The Crabettes, local celebrities and 90 year young accordion players dressed as crabs and singing sea shanties. They start right at nine so don't miss 'em cause they go to sleep early.

Anitra Opera Diva, whose name says it all, will also be performing.


Fiona Horne, a hot celebrity witch from LA, Agent Ribbons from Austin TX and Ophelia De La Fuente are more performers to look forward to. Last but not least, Skippy Spiral and Dame Darcy :) perform sea shanties and Electrococo music in their band Death By Doll. The list continues with DJ Peter Dark, MC Nicodemus, dancers Lila, Tara, Caroline, Acid Poptart, and more! Look for Gothic Lolita Pirate Fashions by Kambriel.

$5. at at the door. $3. when you come in costume. Many thanks to Clara and Burke at The SpareTime as well as Beth Vantosh for making this dream come true!

Make sure not to miss the Savannah Pagan Pride Festival the very next day, http://www.facebook.com/savannahpaganpride?ref=ts

I'm going to have a booth signing books and Death By Doll will be performing at this magical event that goes on all day! Thanks to Adriana Iris Boatwright, PPD coordinator and Head Witch in Savannah GA. My witchy gal pal, Fiona Horne will be there as well.

Along with getting ready for this crazy fun-filled weekend, I've been doll crafting with my interns and getting ready for my window display in Forbidden Planet in NYC!


The weekend of October 12 is going to be a crazy one as well. The New York journey continues. With the Forbidden Planet window display, I'm also having an art show with the lovely Alix Sloan of Sloan Fine Art and I'll be signing books and supporting my fellow artists at Comic Con. Hope to see you all at any of the events mentioned!

Mermaid Tarot and Hot Witch Tees Galore!

Hello everyone!

The Handbook For Hot Witches tour has officially begun! As most of you hopefully know by now, the book was released on Tuesday which was a very happy day! Things are going pretty well right now, the House of Dame Darcy is finally up and running with lots of dolls, comics, and art for every Savannah pedestrian strolling by to check out.

I'm learning how to use the tricky square credit card reader (technology blows my mind) and I love meeting and talking with interesting people at the store.

[caption id="attachment_351" align="alignleft" width="225"] That's me hard at work in the studio! :)[/caption]

The studio is looking great, the floors and walls are tastefully painted pink and blue and there's plenty of natural light with the big windows- it's just how I wanted it, like stepping into an elaborately decorated psychedelic birthday cake!

[caption id="attachment_359" align="alignright" width="225"] I found a mannequin too! Perfect for modeling my newly printed tees[/caption]

I've delved a little more into the printing business with my new Mermaid, and Hot Witch tees. You've gotta check them out! They're so soft and cozy and I even have my own custom Dame Darcy tag inside! Look at me, ma! ;) I feel really good about it all.

[caption id="attachment_360" align="alignnone" width="300"] We have A LOT available...[/caption]

Yesterday, I put my Dame Darcy Mermaid Tarot deck to use by reading my beloved friend and business partner, Beth's, tarot.

[caption id="attachment_361" align="alignnone" width="225"] Despite my concerned look, I think everything is going to turn out OK for her ;)[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_356" align="alignleft" width="214"] The invitation for Naughty Nautical Nite designed by our amazing graphic designer, Emory Davis[/caption]

I do need to put down the Tarot though because these next few weeks are going to be super hectic for me! I'll have my awesome crew with me so hopefully they can keep me sane...beginning September 1st I'm going to the Decatur book festival in Atlanta and then onto several Pagan Pride festivals in Jacksonville, Savannah, Athens, and Augusta-whew! I'll be performing a Cabaret at the Savannah Pagan Pride with my dear friends and magic witch sisters, Adriana Iris Boatwright, Juli, and Fiona Horne -- I am so ready for some good times with my girls. And then everyone in Savannah needs to get ready for the Naughty Nautical Night at The Spare Time on September 28th. There's going to be belly dancing, a DJ and probably lots of weirdness, which is OK with me!

LOTS OF LOVE
Before I go out and enjoy my Saturday, I just want to say thank you to the Goddess and my wonderful friends who manifest in her many forms, particularly Beth Vantosh, Skippy Spiral, Claire Clayton, Kyle Hoover and all the creatures of the Earth, the spirits of the elements, and the spirits of Calhoun Square.
May we all live in peace, abundance and light, love, liberty and life!

Sexy Summer Man Fragrance

Sexy Summer Man fragrance for men has gotten amazing response by all the guys! It’s made from the leaves of Tomato plants and smells like a wonderful citrusy dark green summer. Many claim that it has helped their love life as well!

Here’s what my band mate Skippy looks like wearing Sexy Summer Man, isn’t he dreamy? Get some for yourself and watch the ladies flock, or get some this summer for your man and smell the green sparks fly.
