Wednesday’s Review Run for the Roses #Fiction #HumerousDarkComedy @Virgilante

The Headless Horseman has mellowed over the centuries, somewhat. Who knew that he is a horse lover, and needs Lizzie’s help. An unaffiliated witch is torturing race horses in an effort to skew the parimutuel betting odds.

Can Lizzie and the hat find this renegade witch before one of these beautiful animals gets hurt? Can they do it before Detlef, The Horseman, takes things into his own hands and violates the terms of his magical parole.

It seems like everyone is standing in their way this time, including a team of YouTube ghost hunters and members of the coven itself.

Saddle up for this supernatural ride through the world of Lizzie and the hat.

I was born in a town called Elko, Nevada. I like to tell everyone I was born in a small town in the 1940s. I’m not quite that old, but Elko has always been a little behind the times. This gives me a unique perspective of earlier times, and other ways of getting by. Some of this bleeds through into my fiction.

I moved to Idaho right after the turn of the century, and never looked back. My writing career was born here, with access to other writers and critique groups I jumped in with both feet.

I like to write about things that have something unusual. My works are in the realm of science fiction, paranormal, and fantasy. The goal is to entertain you for a few hours. I hope you enjoy the ride.

Our Review

I always enjoy reading the Lizzie and the Hat stories, and Run for the Roses is one of the best.

There is so much going on as usual, with people old and new to keep the story lively.

I loved Detlef, the headless horseman immediately, his quirky attitude and language had me in stitches. I was surprised to discover that he adored horses, which makes him a man after my own heart.

The Hat excelled himself as usual with his sarcasm and interference, but such a clever bonnet!

Lizzie is one of the best people I have ever met. I love to be in her company. Long suffering and incredibly patient, she carries each story on her shoulders, with as much assistance from the hat that she can cope with!

I have also appreciated that as a reader, I can somehow join in the action because everything is so real.

I do hope there will be another Lizzie and the Hat story soon…
