““It’s witty, it’s funny, it’s beautifully written, and it’s full of characters such as you’d meet almost nowhere else.“

Sally Jones is Good. And Muddlespot, former wart and janitor, now newly promoted to Demon Special Agent, is on a mission to make her Bad.  If he doesn’t, it will be Very Bad for him.

In his way stands Windleberry – a lean, tough angel-hero. At his back is his scheming boss Corozin. Billie is Sally’s wildcat sister, Ishmael is an angel run ragged by trying to keep Billie in line and Scattletail’s a devil who sees she doesn’t. And Shades is a cat with Purrsonality. But most formidable of all is Sally herself. She’s cool, smart and likes the way she is.  Her mind is a maze of crystal passages in which a little devil could so easily get lost. She won’t let anyone interfere…

You’ve probably come across the idea that we all go around with a little angel and a little devil who try to persuade us to do things.  But have you ever thought what it’s like to be that devil?

 

If you want more than this it’s time to go to…

The series Muddle and Win

Muddle and Win is a light-hearted romp through Heaven, Hell and the Human Mind. It’s the age-old story of the struggle between Good and Evil, played out in the mind of a fourteen-year old. And all the highest things, and the lowest too, may tremble because of something very small and simple.  Like an undercooked muffin.

“It’s witty, it’s funny, it’s beautifully written, and it’s full of characters such as you’d meet almost nowhere else.“

“It would be possible to read the story as a jolly romp, but the thoughtful reader will find layers and layers of meaning beyond that.“
