Little Shop of Borrows by Suzy Turner
Little Shop of Borrows by Suzy Turner
Blurb
After
spending a year perfecting his knitting skills in the Peruvian mountains, Taren
Winn-Jones returns to England to transform his late Nanna’s house into a yarn
shop. But when he discovers it has quite literally vanished, he doesn’t know what to do.
Luckily for him, he has just befriended a strange young woman heading to the
mysterious hamlet of Willow Tree Farm…
Sadie
Thornton is following her father’s instructions. “If
I disappear, you must find your way to the Winterbournes of Willow Tree Farm”.
Well, her father has gone, so she’s had no choice but to leave the Tibetan monks
behind and fly halfway across the world to start afresh with a family
harbouring a badly kept secret—that they are, in fact, witches.
When
it becomes apparent that a murder has been committed, a house has been stolen
and ghosts are hanging around, three generations of the Winterbournes will do
everything in their power to protect their new friends and if that means waging
a war against Cinnamon Grove’s obnoxious Mayor, then so be it.
Little
Shop of Borrows is the first full-length novel in The Winterbourne Witches
series. If you like quirky characters, magical mysteries and moments that will
have you laughing out loud, then you’ll love Suzy Turner’s Little Shop of
Borrows.

Suzy
Turner wrote her first chick lit novel in her early twenties, but it wasn’t until much later
that she decided to focus on writing full time. It was during a visit to Canada
in 2009 when the ravens within the dark eerie forests of British Columbia
called to her. The story of Lilly Taylor was born soon after and the first
novel in The Raven Witch Saga was created. Suzy has since published numerous
urban fantasy books, contemporary women's and cozy mystery novels.
Having
lived in Portugal since childhood, Suzy, who is originally from Yorkshire in
England, loves to travel. She finds inspiration wherever she goes. Old decrepit
buildings, graveyards, cathedrals and castles are just a few of the things that
can be found within the worlds of her urban fantasy books, and her contemporary
women’s
fiction novels are filled with fun friendships, ordinary people in
extraordinary circumstances and quirky characters you’d want as friends.
Suzy
lives in the Algarve with her husband, three cats and a dog, where she
meditates and does yoga every morning and then hangs out with her imaginary
witches all day long.

Social Distancing Book Signing - How we made this happen.
I was invited by my local library and Friends of the Library non-profit to do a book signing the second week of September.
However, this town was under a level two evacuation order and covered in ash the day of the signing so we rescheduled.
Then came the rain storms that were an answer to prayers.
This is the Pacific Northwest and rain never stopped anyone so we did the book signing outdoors, under a canopy, in the middle of the storm.
In order to do the book signing I had to follow some specific rules.
All the books had to be pre-signed and then sealed for SIX days.
I stayed up late one night with the kitten and signed 200 books. (Thinking positive).

Medicine and Miracles in the High Desert
This is the true story of a young white woman, Erica Elliott, who comes to the Navajo Reservation in 1971 as a newly minted schoolteacher, knowing nothing about her students or their culture. After several blunders and misunderstandings, and beset by loneliness and despair, Erica makes a determined effort to overcome the barriers of language and culture. From the moment she begins learning the Navajo language, the people open their hearts and homes to her, inviting her into a world that will profoundly impact the rest of her life.
Erica falls in love with her Navajo students—along with their enchanting land, healing ceremonies, and rich traditions. She witnesses many miracles during this time, and experiences her own miracle when the elders pray for her healing. She survives fearsome encounters with a mountain lion and a shapeshifting “skin walker.” She learns how to herd and butcher sheep, make fry bread, weave traditional rugs, and more.
Erica returns years later to serve the Navajo people as a medical doctor in an under-funded and under-staffed clinic, where she treats myriad ailments, delivers countless babies, and performs emergency procedures. When a medicine man offers to thank her with a ceremony, more miracles unfold.

Medicine and Miracles in the High Desert is now available to purchase in print and as an e-book at Amazon.com, IndieBound.org, and Barnes and Noble. Add it to your GoodReads reading listing as well.

About the Author Erica Elliott, M.D.
Erica Elliott is a medical doctor with a busy private practice in Santa Fe, New Mexico. A true adventurer, she has lived and worked around the world. She served as a teacher for Indigenous children on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona and in the mountains of Ecuador.
In 1976, she was one of the first American women to climb Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the western hemisphere. She taught rock climbing and mountaineering for Outward Bound and, after her first year of medical school, she led an all-women’s expedition to the top of Denali in Alaska.
In 1993, Erica helped found The Commons, a cohousing community in Santa Fe where she continues to live. She gave a TEDx talk about living in cohousing. Referred to affectionately as “the Health Detective,” she treats patients who come to her from all parts of the country with mysterious and difficult-to-diagnose illnesses. Erica is a frequent radio guest and has given workshops at various venues, including Esalen and Omega Institute.
