The Witches of Andar
by Ashlie Harris
Genre: Fantasy

A trio of An-Kishar witches has unwittingly become involved in a royal coup. After saving the murdered king's son, the foursome takes shelter with a traveling theater troupe, hoping to stay in hiding until the Prince is able to reclaim his throne.

Fight alongside Malinda, Alice, and Justine to rid the kingdom of the dark magic that threatens to run rampant. Venture into the Hanging Ferns Forest, travel with the Thespian Connection, and help unravel the mysteries that lie within the realm of Andar!

"Alice!... You can't slap a Prince!" -Justine; The Witches of Andar- Book 1

Goodreads * Amazon

Raising their hands, they shouted in unison, “Scuto socio!" A great, golden flash erupted from their palms, drawing everyone's attention from the drama unfolding between Justine, Prince Gregdan, and the Duke/King. The crowd dispersed upon seeing the witches in action. Most feared the unknown forces behind their magic and others could simply sense the impending doom.
The shimmering shield spread it’s translucent tendrils until it was completely encircling all three women. The Prince, however, seemed to be just out of the spell’s reach. Muttering another incantation, Malinda nodded her head and the remaining guards dropped to the ground, completely paralyzed. Justine, now free of the guards, made a break for the Prince.
“Stop!” shouted the Duke, red-faced and veins bulging. He stepped closer to Prince Gregdan so that he was within arms’ reach, and pointed to Justine. “You foolish girl! Do you not know a losing battle when you’re in the middle of one?”
“The only loser here is you, King Ebrius,” retorted Justine, filling the title with as much disgust and contempt as she could muster.
“You would be wise to address me more respectfully, child,” warned Ebrius. “I may take pity on you yet. I do tend to prefer a feisty redhead,” he winked and Justine could feel her stomach churning in response. “Just think,” he said, “like it or not, I am King. You could be my Queen.”
Being an An-Kishar limited Justine’s knowledge of harmful spells, but she’d always been good at improvising. She recalled the incantations she’d been helping Alice transcribe before their world had been shattered into a million pieces. Remembering a partial spell, and with more confidence than she felt, Justine summoned every ounce of her love and anger and bellowed, “Konfleur aphida!”
Nothing happened and, for a moment, Justine thought she’d done the spell incorrectly and she feared the consequences if she had. Just as she began to lose heart, they heard a great roar. Ebrius, fearing an attack from a large and fearsome creature, drew his sword, ready to fight. His foe, however, was not a great beast, but a massive swarm of insects. Every sort of insect found in the kingdom was present it seemed from the minuscule, crawling Opaci to the intimidating Vespuns, their black wings, shining in the evening sun. And their sole intent was to lay siege to the false King.

Ashlie Harris is 30 years old and a Stay-at-Home mother of four homeschooled children. She and her husband live in the heart of the Midwest, USA, in a place Ashlie likes to call, "The Land of Corn and Beans". She has lived there all her life but may plan to move North in the near future. A unique childhood and a passion for the written word have served as motivation and inspiration throughout the years. Always the writer, Ashlie can often be found asking inappropriate questions, staring at seemingly nothing for hours on end, and generally being completely socially awkward. Her biggest wish is for people to look past their differences and start treating each other as the one, single race we are- HUMAN.

What writers have inspired you?

2/2/2018 02:42:58 am

Hi, Becky! :) My writing has been largely influenced by L. M. Montgomery, V.C. Andrews, and Jean M. Auel. I'm continuously inspired, most heavily by the characters of Anne Shirley and Ayla. I like to create full and descriptive worlds and fun, realistic characters. The Witches of Andar is my debut novella and I'm already working on Book 2, which is proving to be much more intense than the first one! :)

2/3/2018 12:35:25 am

Nice!

2/3/2018 12:35:58 am

How many hours a day do you write?

2/4/2018 12:11:47 am

I homeschool my kids, so my mornings and early afternoon's are taken up with them. Then, I generally write until about 4am, though obviously, not continuously. I try to mix up my projects so I can stay as objective as possible when immersing myself in the telling of the story. If I had to average it out, I probably write about 6-8 hours each day, which includes writing for my work as the social media director for perfect10plots.com, also.

Sounds like such a great read. I love reading stories involving witches and can't wait to follow the mystery.

2/4/2018 12:12:58 am

Thank you for the support, Cathy! I hope you enjoy The Witches of Andar; be sure to keep an eye out for Book 2, coming Fall 2018!

2/4/2018 12:38:02 am

Do you ever get into a writing slump?

2/4/2018 05:38:01 pm

I definitely have issues staying motivated sometimes. Life gets in the way and priorities take over. Writing is my biggest personal passion, though, so I make it a point to write something everyday. Be it poetry, writing my stories, or even just a blog entry, I make sure to write daily, in some capacity or another.

Can you imagine any of your books being made into a movie?

2/7/2018 02:02:54 pm

The notification email for this comment went to my Spam folder for some reason. :/ To answer your question... I've definitely thought about a movie being made from my book, although I'm more inclined to try for a play. I'm a huge fan of theatre and am actually looking into my local theatre taking it on! :)

What do you find the hardest in challenge of the writing process?

2/11/2018 01:15:36 am

I'd have to say my biggest challenge with writing is staying motivated during a long project. When you've read the same words a million times, it definitely wears on you. So many times have I looked at the opening paragraph of The Witches of Andar and immediately looked away. I know it by heart. This is one of the reason I have about 5 other projects in the works at any given time. :)

2/11/2018 03:52:24 pm

Do you prefer audio books or just to read them on your own?

2/11/2018 04:04:43 pm

I definitely prefer to read on my own. I feel like I absorb the information better (and read books faster) when I'm reading on my own vs listening to an audio book. I'm a huge supporter of audio-books, though! I know how helpful they are to so many people and am glad they are so readily available. <3
