Well, I’d had enough of being a sideshow for the day. A foreigner, his hair was unruly and dark auburn, which complemented his tanned but dirt-smudged complexion, though the tall, dark stranger vibe was ruined by his piercing pale blue eyes. He was handsome enough, for a commoner, even in his worn leather pants and cracked work boots. He could have been a hundred for all I knew. He looked to be in his late teens or was magically enhanced to appear so. Only one remained, watching me with open curiosity. The final few stragglers looked at me with the alltoo-common look of fear mixed with trepidation. Until then, you can enjoy this bonus content on Schow's website, read the excerpt below, and enter to win a SPELLED gift basket. It is a rather cracked take on THE WIZARD OF OZ (both the book and the movie - note the princess's ruby and silver heels.) I look forward to sharing my review of it with you in June. I recently finished reading SPELLED, the first book in a new series by Betsy Schow.
