Sally Owens, one of the main characters in Alice Hoffman's book Practical Magic.
The movie version is one that I like to watch a lot this time of year. I've been thinking about fall and will soon be getting ready for Halloween. It's coming upon my favorite time of year.
It would be cool to do magical things like Sally does and live in this house with two crazy aunts.
So, if you could be anyone, who would you be?
Today I am celebrating the launch of Talli Roland's newest novel, Watching Willow Watts!
About Watching Willow Watts:
For Willow Watts, life has settled into a predictably dull routine: days behind the counter at her father's antique shop and nights watching TV, as the pension-aged residents of Britain's Ugliest Village bed down for yet another early night. But everything changes when a YouTube video of Willow's epically embarrassing Marilyn Monroe impersonation gets millions of hits after a viewer spots Marilyn's ghostly image in a frame.
Instantly, Willow's town is overrun with fans flocking to see the 'new Marilyn'. Egged on by the villagers -- whose shops and businesses are cashing in -- Willow embraces her new identity, dying her hair platinum and ramming herself full of cakes to achieve Marilyn's legendary curves.
But when a former flame returns seeking the old Willow, Willow must decide: can she risk her stardom and her village's newfound fortune on love, or is being Marilyn her ticket to happiness?
