Once upon a time, in a forest called Bright, Marily, a four-year-old girl, lived happily with her parents; a good witch called Goodypie and her husband, Mr. Goodweather.
All the creatures of the forest loved Goodypie because she could always ruin the evil potions of Meanloudmouth, a very bad witch.
One day, while Goodypie was boiling some plants and flowers in her big cooking pot, Marily noticed a little house appear in the pot. Suddenly, Marily fell into the pot and by the time she was rescued by her mother, Marily had changed into a mean-spirited and wicked person. Marily ran into the forest and away from home.
As her parents were trying desperately to find her, they discovered that their daughter had turned into the notorious Badfreaky, the meanest witch of them all, who could silence any enemy by turning them into stone.
Meet Konstantinos V. E. Adamopoulos
My name is Konstantinos Adamopoulos. I am a teacher at a Primary School in Alimos – Athens, Greece. I live here with my wife and my daughter Marily. I like sports, traveling, and fairy tales. I am now writing a fairy tale about the life of Badfreaky the witch. It is a five-book series. Why do I write these books?
Please read below:
“I remember it was Christmas when something most unexpected happened in my dream. You will of course say that this happens often in dreams, but my dream exceeded all imagination. So, in my world of dreams, an uninvited witch visited me. Yes, you have correctly guessed. It was Badfreaky!
And she said in a strict tone:
“Constantine, I am going to give you a mission. As of today even, you are going to start writing my story. It is very important to me that you write about it exactly the way I tell it to you, so children and the entire world can find out what trials I have lived through. My life was an endless adventure and I think that people have a lot to learn from it. Listen carefully to what I have to say and hold on to it. If you don’t write my story, or don’t write it exactly the way I tell it to you, then beware, you poor thing! I will turn you into a blind, deaf, and crippled centipede! Just so that you suffer the rest of your life!”
Naturally, I got very scared and the very next morning, I began writing her story with anxious excitement. Up to this moment, I must have done something right, because I am still human. If, however, on your way, you meet a centipede walking crookedly, not knowing which way it’s going, I beg you; please don’t hurt her because it might be me, transformed!”

Meet Ally Marie

Which is where she lives now with her husband, five dogs, and bird. She thinks of them as her saving grace.

Floating Hair is a bleak, brutal, and unsettling horror novel. If you are looking for something cozy, this really isn’t it.
David, mourning for his wife, returns to the town of his childhood: finding love and solace and escape.
Yet sometimes the past won’t remain buried as it should. Sometimes it returns hungry for revenge. So very hungry…
Okay, so you’ve clicked on “Read more” and want to know further details about my novel:
Floating Hair is a gothic horror novel, with a female perspective, set in north-eastern United States.
David, grieving for his lost wife, returns to Malsham: a town filled with romantic, sexual, and criminal lives.
And some bad men. Especially one…
In 1692, Lucy was burned as a witch to conceal his crime: the ravaging fire destroying every aspect of her identity. In the centuries that follow, no-one is held responsible. But now she is given a chance of retribution…
On a cold October night, there is a light in the sky. The population of Malsham watches its blazing progress, before it crashes into the lake. In that moment before impact, some become psychically bound: their lives forever linked.
The explosion resurrects Lucy as a relentless fiery vampire. Initially unable to leave the waters, she births small dragons which feed upon the townspeople: gaining sustenance from their endeavours.
Rain deluges the region. Hauling herself from the lake, the rainwater coats her skin: churning from transparent into disparate dark colours. She strides towards the closest house…
Trigger warning: This book features dragons. If you survived the burning of King’s Landing, please give this one a miss…
Meet ETHAN KOIL
I have been writing, on and off, since the age of 16, and currently reside near Bristol, in the UK. When I’m not writing or reading, I enjoy hiking and fishing. I started writing Floating Hair in 1996, wrote about 60 pages, became disillusioned with writing (8 previous novels unpublished), and stopped. Picked up the 60 pages in 2009, spent 3 years turning it into a full-length novel, but attracted precisely zero interest from agents and publishers. Rewrote it 2019-21, and finally self-published.
Deep inside every dream lies a door. It waits to be opened, but most never see it.
A world exists inside the minds of all who are aware. Chances are you’ve been there before, but surely you don’t remember.
For dreams are designed to be forgotten in the morning, and you have a real life to live.
The funny thing about real life though is that sometimes the assumed trivial and discarded things can hold the most fantastic opportunities.

Meet Johnny Rapp
Johnny Rapp was born and raised in California. He is a U.S. Air Force veteran, has been traveling off and on nomadically since 2015, and is fluent in Spanish.
Estranged from her witch mother, and having committed to little in her thirty years, Alf surprises herself when she decides to start a new life.
She heads deep into the English countryside intent on making a success of the once popular inn. However, discovering the murder throws her a curve ball. Especially when she suspects dark magick.
Additionally, a less than warm welcome from several locals, persuades her that a variety of folk – of both the mortal and magickal persuasions – have it in for her.
The dilapidated inn presents a huge challenge for Alf. Uncertain who to trust, she considers calling time on the venture.
Should she pack her bags and head back to London?
Don’t be daft.
Alf’s magickal powers may be as wonky as the inn, but she’s dead set on finding the murderer.
Once a witch always a witch, and this one is fighting back.

Meet Jeannie Wycherley
Genre-hopping introvert and word witch living somewhere between the forest and the sea in East Devon, UK.
Jeannie finds inspiration everywhere: myths, stories and songs, people watching, a word here, a look there, but mainly in the landscape. Devon has it all – rocky coast, pebble and sandy beaches, winding lanes and picture perfect cottages, cliffs and forest.
A good day for Jeannie means a blustery wind, racing waves and salty rain. She lives with her husband and two dogs, make a lot of soup, plays too many computer games and loves watching movies.
