We were eating ice cream and talking about bacon. – Cindy Eller


Ice cream and bacon? Hey, two of my favorite things! Having just raved over the three (and a short story) Goldie Locke books by Elizabeth A. Reeves, I dove into my first Cindy Eller story. Only a 25 page short story, we meet Cindy – who has a rather irritating problem – any male she kisses turns into a toad. Wow. Bummer, huh?

Cindy is a magical baker, and when we first meet her, she is serving up brownie sundaes with real whipped cream to her twin magical sisters in the middle of the night.

Yum. Worth the short story for that image in my head! (Now, where is my chocolate?)

It really sucks when your twin half-sisters turned your mom’s latest husband into a dog. Sigh. Well, at least he is a Border Collie! (Hey, so the twins like animals better than people – so do I! You go, Girls!)

The girls (whom I had met in Goldie’s story line) are a hoot, and I desperately want to taste Cindy’s brownies . . . and some of the Dark Chocolate Mango Ice Cream! ( )
