"Call Me Stranger" is an escapist fantasy concerns a time-travelling Cat trying to save his previously Good witch after she was misled into becoming Bad. The scenarios cover present day, North Yorkshire and the Tyneside of a thousand years ago. The central Warlock is an unprepossessing, rather boring accountant who has no idea about his Magickal Powers, so the Cat has to organise witches to make him to realise his skills. The problems come from clashes of personality between the principal characters. One witch is a kleptomania, another a dipsomania, another a smelly gypsy medium in a sacking dress held together with rope. There is also a time travelling dwarf, who met the Cat while lost in Limbo and is adopted by the Cat (with support from the others) and becomes a deputy leader under instruction from the Cat (who doesn't speak) and a child temptress when a beautiful adult woman on the odd occasion. This is when she can inspire great things from the highly strung Warlock. Singing and flying forest animals enjoy life with the help of the witch, but lord of the manor who has fallen for the Witch, ends up liaising with Cedric the Executioner and a wily, failed royal servant, gets into the mix to wreck things on all sides. By the way, "Magick" has extraordinary powers, whereas "magic" has not!!

For many years, I dreamed of writing a book. During that time, it was going to be this fairy-tale quality about me and some relatives with an unrealistic, happy ending where everybody was magically transformed-poof-into perfect people with no more problems. I repeat-a fairy tale. Some of the names in this story are fictional. This story is meant to encourage the readers. You are never alone. God is only a prayer away. He is standing by. He is knocking and waiting if you want to let him in. He wants a relationship with you, but he wont force it. The romantic in me still loves a fairy tale with a happy ending, but I am older and wiser and knows that's not always how life goes. I have learned that we are all imperfect, flawed human beings and that life deals us each different blows. God allows sad things to happen to everyone. The amount of money we have does not exclude us from painful things. We all suffer hurt; loss of a child, a spouse, or parents; divorce; fatal illnesses; and other problems that incur during our lifetime. These are the lessons of life. This is the story of the life of a person I choose to call Cullodena Adaira. These are her experiences, growth, and maturity.
