Meet Sparkle… a low rent witch with even lower standards. She’s tacky, she’s whimsical, and she’s powerful. She’s also the sometimes adversary of my friend R.J. Sullivan’s paranormal investigator, Rebecca Burton (pictured as a mermaid on Sparkle’s coffee mug here). This all started from a dare, which R.J. explains in an article on the Seventh Star Press blog, along with the story itself for your enjoyment. I have to say, I’m pleased with the result.
