Hello to all!

Well the Spring 2008 tour has begun and I head off to Texas for "Ostara Fest 2008" next week, and then go back to Salem, Massachusetts at the end of March, for a weekend intensive that I am teaching on "Practical Magick" at Laurie Cabot's shop, The Cat, The Crow and the Crown.

We got 8 inches of snow dumped on us this week in about 3 and a half hours and the good news is that yesterday it hit in the high 40's so it's all meting! I am SO ready for spring.

I sent up my completed 10th manuscript to Llewellyn a few weeks ago and the release date is Spring 2009. It is the largest book that I have written to date- and should have lots of illustrations! The Working title is

"A Garden Witch's Herbal"

What do I mean by working title? Just that. It's the title I gave the book now we have to wait and see what the committee decides the final title will be. I'm betting it should stay close to the working title.

Please visit my author;s website for all the deets on my 2008 tour www.geocities.com/edugan_gardenwitch  thehn click on "Tour Info" and scroll down.

Wishing you all an enchanting spring- filled with witchery all about the home and garden!

Blessed be, Ellen Dugan
