Book Description
THE BEWITCHED VIKING is the story of an outrageous Viking, Tykir Thorksson, and a presumed Saxon witch who put a kink in the King of Norway's male parts. Picture this: If a fierce Viking warrior beckons a fair maiden with his forefinger, does she succumb, or run for the castle, her sheep in hot pursuit? If a Saxon "witch" curses a Viking king, causing his manpart to take a right turn, should the Norseman capture the lady and risk falling under her erotic spell? Lady Alinor and Tykir Thorksson...the Saxon witch and the Viking troll. Even the gods are laughing.

The Bewitched Viking.......2007-01-09
A Great Story and a great writter. Bought all the books in this series and I really enjoyed them
One of the best of the Viking Series.......2005-02-08
I love the way Sandra Hill can make the characters laugh at themselves...I think Tykir is my favorite of the Viking characters and I like that he could fall in love with a less than beautiful woman. She is hilarious and so is he. That's one reason why I love Sandra Hill. The scene where the heroine puts an eel in the back of her dress to make it look like a tail just so she can torment Tykir's friend who is convinced she is a witch is just hilarious.
part 4 of the series........2002-04-02
I really enjoy Sandra Hill's books and this one was no exception. This is the story of Tykir, who is Thork's son from The Reluctant Viking" and younger brother to Eirik and Rain. This book is filled with wonderful characters that show up in previous and later books. The humor was wonderful and the passion was hot! I like the way that Sandra Hill makes the hero and heroine more true to life. The hero has a bad leg and the heroine, Ailnor, has freckles and she is not terribly busty and not super young either.
Alinor is sort of taken captive by Tykir because she is supposedly a witch who has put a curse on King Anlaf's privates. He is commanded to take her to the King to remove the curse/spell. She is very reluctant to go and fights but then soon realizes that time spent with Tykir is better than time spent with her brothers who are always marrying her off . She is a widow three times over and really would like for all men to leave her alone.
Tykir at first doesn't think she is attractive at all and can't hardly stand to be near her but he soon finds that he likes freckles and her hair drives him wild. Their passion soon flares and turns both of their worlds upside down.
The reader is not sure what is going to happen next and it was really hard to put this book down to go back to work after my breaks. I am now going back to read the Outlaw Viking which is Selik's story.
sandra does it again and again.......2001-11-20
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the "Bewitched Viking" I have read just about all of Ms Hills " Viking " novels. The "Bewitched Viking" certainly holds up to the other books in this series. I recently read Eirik and Eadyth's story and Ruriks. I have to say my all time favorite (of all romance stories ever written) is "The Reluctant Viking" starring Ruby and Thork, the one that started it all. It's nice to see that Thork and Ruby's family lives on. I've also just finished Selik and Raines story. Dont let these works of literary art pass you by. Sandra Hill is very gifted at making the reader feel. She makes you laugh out loud, cry silent tears and holds you spellbound with something as simple and powerful as words. Bravo, Ms Hill. I'm a fan for life.
When you just want to feel good.......2001-07-08
Poor Tykir Thorksson. His king has sent him off to capture the witch that put a spell on the king's manhood. He was prepared for danger, but he wasn't prepared for the hot-tempered red-head, her tiresome, bumbling brothers and her sheep! And to make matters worse, he's burdened with a crew of superstitious Vikings and a skald who composes some of the worst sagas ever sung. It's hard to know which is worse, being immortalized in sagas with titles like "Tykir the Great and the Flame-Haired Witch," or finding that he isn't immune to the witch's flaming hair and freckles after all.
Much as I love a good laugh, I'm always a little skeptical of novel-length humor because it's just so hard to do. To keep your reader smiling for 300-400 pages, much less laughing is one of the most difficult tasks a writer can undertake. Or as someone once said: "Dying is easy; comedy is hard." Sandra Hill provides enough good humor to keep her readers feeling good for almost four hundred pages and for that alone I have to give her high marks.
Sandra Hill knows her stuff. She knows how to keep a narrative moving, how to create believable characters, and how to make her readers smile, if not laugh out loud. Though I found myself a little uncomfortable with the opening chapter in which she seemed to be trying a little too hard to win her readers over, I did find that once the narrative settled down, it was a pleasure to read. The writing is crisp, humorous and well-balanced and the problematic elements such verbal anachronisms (The anal retentive need not apply; this book will make you nuts if you pick at it.) and a tendency to make the dark ages seem like a time when it wasn't any big deal to hop on a ship to go visit cousin Sven who has settled in Sussex with his Saxon wife and their sixteen children really don't detract from the story, in my opinion. The thing with humor, at least for me, is that all can be forgiven if the author can make me laugh.
There isn't much about this plot that we haven't seen a million times. There's a dark age version of the "meet cute" that involves sheep, but you pretty much know that the two main characters have to start out hating each other so that they can have the Big Revelation later on. Hill handles it deftly enough, never descending into bathos which would have been too easy given the backgrounds she's created for Tykir and Alinor. They never pity themselves and we're never asked to pity them either. And Hill never relies on the "idiot plot" in which two grown people can't seem to share enough information to avoid huge, painful misunderstandings that threaten to destroy their relationship at least a dozen times during the course of the story. Yes, it's hard for these two to show their feelings for each other, but Hill never takes this to the extremes that make this reviewer want to fling a book across the room.
It's actually pretty hard to feel sorry for Tykir when you consider that the man has rank, money and women falling at his feet. So when he butts heads with Lady Alinor, who keeps insisting that she's not a witch (the difference between cursing someone and putting a curse on him seems to escape the Vikings who have come to haul her off to Norway to fix the king's...problem.) it is rather amusing to watch his sense of self get rearranged. It's also hard to feel sorry for Alinor for all that she's been married three times to rich, repulsive old men for the benefit of her horrible brothers. She's tough, she's mouthy, and she is not perfect - alleluia! She makes mistakes, has bad days, feels sorry for herself occasionally, and despite all her best intentions, she finds herself responding in a very basic way to Tykir's very basic attractions. From the beginning you really have to like these two because you know that for all that they're going to irritate each other half to death, they're also really well-suited to each other. Both are smart and funny, and both are almost obsessively self-reliant.
There's not a lot of tension inherent in this particular treatment, and that's not a bad thing for humor which can be so easily damaged by too much seriousness. We're led to feel a certain amount of concern for Alinor's fate and for the fate of their relationship, but never enough to put a frown on our faces instead of a smile. The love scene - there's one rather long one - is charming, and just explicit enough to let us know what's happening without being graphic. And with the lead-in Hill gives us, the length of the scene isn't a problem; it fits nicely into the narrative without being in any way intrusive. I, for one, enjoyed the heck out of it!
Hill's characters are vivid and honest; they have weaknesses, they do silly things. Sometimes they laugh at themselves, but more often they laugh at each other. They don't change dramatically; they don't have epiphanies which turn them from sinners to saints. They simply are what they are and it's a mark of Hill's humanity as well as her skill that we do care about what happens to them. They work within the context of the story, and even the secondary characters are not only memorable but quite real.
On the whole I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys humor. This isn't a book you read when you need a good weep, but rather when you want to feel good, when you want to believe that the world is actually a fairly amusing place, and that nice things can happen if you're open to them.

Welcome to Brokenoggin Falls, where the housewives are not only desperate, theyre Witches! (And one of them might be a Harpy)
The spells cast by moonlight frequently go awry. And there are times when toads and Chihuahuas seem abundant as black flies in the summer, the dragons are a little touchy, the Forest Trolls are in danger of extinction from teeny-boppers, the Gryphons need help conceiving and...the scientist are crunchy and good with ketchup...

Sadly, disappointed!.......2006-09-25
I love MaryJo Putney, I've have read and savored all of her books. But this book I found to be a mishmash of difficult to read chapters. I'm sorry I spent the money, much less the shipping & handling.
A Supernatural Spin!.......2006-05-05
After reading the back cover of the book, I was definitly intrigued to say the least. Being that I am a huge supernatural fan I was curious as to how the supernatural could be funny. The book is a collaboration of different romance/paranormal authors who each write a chapter to make this crazy story up about a small town with its inhabitants all being of the supernatural variety. Each chapter was funny and creative and well connected to one another.It was kind of like a soap opera because all the inhabitants personal crazy stories intermingled.From a werewolf sheriff to a fey vet and to a crazy witch coven, this book has it all and definitly more. The book is great and if you are a supernatural fan you should definitly give this book a try!
Brokenoggin Falls, Michigan...who knew?.......2006-02-21
Romance and sex in a small town. Yippee! First off, the concept of this book is unique, I think. The subject matter, the treatment of the subject matter, and the cooperative skills of the twenty authors are much better than I expected when I purchased the book. I thought it might be just another anthology of sexy stories. So much more!
The whole idea of a weird and wonderful place, inhabited by people who are just like anyone one might find in a very small town, except that some are werewolves, some are trolls, some are faeries (I love the faerie queeen!), some are mythically unbelievable, is a concept that reminds me strongly of the books that author Christopher Moore has set in the strange little town of Pine Cove, California. The inter-relationships of all the residents and visitors to Brokenoggin Falls are priceless, and all the authors brings their portions of the townspeoples' stories together almost seamlessly.
The concept of the book is, according to the creator/editor/contributor of this group effort, somewhat like a TV series, with various screenwriters contributing to a common plot line, but with 'episodes' dealing with different stories, blending different townspeople, sometimes mingling and sometimes standing alone. A very clever and well-written effort. Plus, the sex, when pertinent, is very, very hot and juicily well-written (yea! sex), (after all, this book is a Romance). I look forward to many future visits to Brokenoggin Falls (next book to benefit breast cancer research).
And, that reminds me. Since all the authors have donated their royalties from this 'season 1' book to the Red Cross disaster relief fund, I plan to seek out those contributing authors whose work I have not yet read, and start becoming familiar with them. And, those authors whose work already fills my shelves will see me a continued fan. All 20 of the contributing authors did a first rate job in making this strange little town come to life. The synchronization of efforts by authors with very different styles and backgrounds worked very, very well. (Who knew Michigan could be funny AND sexy!)
Didn't read in one sitting.......2006-02-07
Because I couldn't make heads nor tales out of it. I totally didn't get this book, made no sense, it wasn't entertaining or witty. Geez, I'd rather have just donated directly to Alzheimers than to have purchased this hodgepodge of crap.
LOTS OF TALENT IN ONE BOOK.......2005-08-22
If you are looking for a madcap zany sometimes weird but always hilariously funny - then this is the book for you.
This book showcases not only the talent but the generosity of both authors and publisher. And if you read the electronic version this one has extra scenes never seen before. So why not add it to your shelves while supporting the International Red Cross Disaster Fund and a few hours of delightful entertainment.

Book Description
No one answered when I tapped at the back door of Madumo's home on Mphahlele Street a few days after my return to Soweto, so I pushed the buckling red door in a screeching grind of metal over concrete and entered calling, "Hallo?"
So begins this true story of witchcraft and friendship set against the turbulent backdrop of contemporary Soweto. Adam Ashforth, an Australian who has spent many years in the black township, finds his longtime friend Madumo in dire circumstances: his family has accused him of using witchcraft to kill his mother and has thrown him out on the street. Convinced that his life is cursed, Madumo seeks help among Soweto's bewildering array of healers and prophets. An inyanga, or traditional healer, confirms that he has indeed been bewitched. With Ashforth by his side, skeptical yet supportive, Madumo embarks upon a physically grueling treatment regimen that he follows religiously-almost to the point of death-despite his suspicion that it may be better to "Westernize my mind and not think about witchcraft."
Ashforth's beautifully written, at times poignant account of Madumo's struggle shows that the problem of witchcraft is not simply superstition, but a complex response to spiritual insecurity in a troubling time of political and economic upheaval. Post-apartheid Soweto, he discovers, is suffering from a deluge of witchcraft. Through Madumo's story, Ashforth opens up a world that few have seen, a deeply unsettling place where the question "Do you believe in witchcraft?" is not a simple one at all. The insights that emerge as Ashforth accompanies his friend on an odyssey through Soweto's supernatural perils have profound implications even for those of us who live in worlds without witches.

Bewitchment in the New South Africa.......2002-12-18
The complexity and problems in the lives of South Africans in the newly minted post-apartheid state are richly interpreted in Madumo, both by westerners like Adam Ashforth and Africans he has known in Soweto. Witchcraft is taken up by both westerners and South Africans as an active encapsulation of these struggles, and the relevance of witchcraft to a modern life and a modern future is debated.
As Ashforth says, "Despite the dawning of democracy, people were still suffering. Yet the task of interpreting the meaning of misfortune was becoming more complex." (9)
Madumo describes the conflict of a modern man trying to honor his ancestors: "the problem with us that we Africans, when life picks up and things are going smooth for us, we normally forget about our ancestors. Because we are trying to follow western culture." (24). The youth are ignorant of tradition, especially in an era of rural exodus, and a plethora of dangerously creative witchdoctors reflects this. The elder members of the society are still expected to govern and judge the plans of youth, however: one witchdoctor, Dr. Zonki, reflects that in the normal course of events, but especially with regards to witchcraft, Madumo must "approach the elders of [his] family and do this in the proper way" (199). This shows a more resilient side of ancestor worship, and witchcraftýs role in preserving tradition, however shabbily.
The recent "deluge of witchcraft" (98-99) points out just how people use bewitchment to come to grips with living in a new South Africa. As a tool, it not only reinforces gender roles and traditional life, it has proven capable of innovation and has been profitable for many. It has also survived the secularism of the new South Africa; Dr. Zonki himself mixed potions for the fighting Inkatha in the hostel of Soweto, and yet has no trouble because of this past in the new pluralistic state. A space for the interpretation of social and physical ills, as attributable to malevolent forces outside of ones control, has survived the fall of apartheid as well.
"For all the talk of ubuntu, or ýAfrican humanismý by the new African elite, on the streets of Soweto the practice of everyday life was tending ever more towards the dog-eat-dog"(232).
The new era puts blacks in conflict over housing and electricity, which are no longer free as a concession of the apartheid government against violence. The difficulty of everyday pursuits is reflected in the "university-thing" comments of Madumoýs relatives, who are impatient with his pursuit of his new opportunities. These sentiments might be echoed by any working family struggling with a devalued Rand and the expensive prospect of academics (17). The rise in witchings and witch doctors is also related to the emergence of AIDS, which is sweeping the country.
Ashford notes that "none of the dispositions of professionals writing about Africa seemed to make much sense" (244). While I might agree with him, I want to hear more about how he sees the western tradition, which itself is based upon histories of occultism and itself has religions grounded in the invisible and the transubstantiated, as reflecting possible egress from the problems facing these South Africans. Should we come down upon "folk wisdom" which anchors witchcraft, or should we subscribe a movement towards the "folk wisdom" of Western modernity (245) which supports secularism and "enlightenment"? Ashforth gives us a detailed and localized view of witchcraft as an institution and inescapable fact of South African life, but the modern era and its changes are probably having an increasingly positive and liberalizing effect upon this tradition.
Although this is perhaps equally as much memoir of Ashforth as it is social history of Sowetan bewitchment,
the book is fairly straightforward, and the writing is succinct and modest. We may find ourselves wondering just how useful this book is, however, as something beyond candid reportage. Can we really understand what motivates the ongoing crisis of identity in Africa? Ashforth is right at least in that we should, because the implications of African demise will affect us all in coming years, from AIDS to terrorism. It is also worth considering, as this book does, what tradition can really do for people.
A Man Bewitched.......2001-01-31
Although he is now a professor in the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, Adam Ashforth has spent much of the past ten years in Soweto, living there full time until the elections of 1994, and then going back for three months each year. He has friends there, so he goes to South Africa for his vacations. _Madumo: A Man Bewitched_ (University of Chicago Press) tells the story of one such friend, and the extraordinary lengths toward which friendship goes. It is a warm, generally happy book blending memoir, reportage, and sociology. It is steeped in witchcraft. Madumo, a friend from Ashforth's first stay in Soweto, has been thrown out of his house because a prophet of the Zion Christian Church told Madumo's younger brother that Madumo had used witchcraft to murder their mother, and Madumo had been thrown out of the family home.
Much of the book has to do with the counter-witchcraft Ashforth helps Madumo hire, through a medicine man named Mr. Zondi. Madumo has to be washed with herbs and earth from Madumo's mother's grave. There is a ritual cutting of Madumo's hands and legs, with mercury rubbed into the cuts. A white hen is slaughtered in a pre-feast to assure the ancestors of goodwill and more to come. Other herbs induce vomiting, the sort of purgative that has been favored in folk medicine for centuries, but which makes Madumo seriously ill. Ashforth tells a surgeon friend about what Madumo is going through, and the surgeon explains the danger. The vomiting can cause dehydration, kidney failure, and bleeding from the esophagus. Ashforth seriously worries if he had been too simple-minded in endorsing the Zondi cure.
The treatments bring improvement for Madumo. The improvement can't promise him a new place in his family, or within the South African economy, however; the strange daily life and business ways of the Sowetan community are a constant theme in this unique memoir. The main theme is, of course, the pervasive belief in witchcraft, and Ashforth explains how as a form of belief in the supernatural it takes its place with other religious ideas as a way of trying to make sense of the world. Ashforth is often asked if he believes in witchcraft, and he resoundingly doesn't. But he also knows that there are no arguments persuasive enough to make believers think that Madumo's treatment is placebo any more than those who pray can be convinced that prayer is not a real interaction with the divine. Trying to argue Madumo out of his beliefs would have availed Ashforth nothing, while paying for the treatment did give his friend a new life. Thus the materialist harnessed counter-witchcraft to help a bewitched friend, and brought results.
Fascinating biographical and cultural coverage........2000-09-09
Maduma is a young South African accused of using witchcraft to kill his mother - his act falls under the local police's special 'Occult-related Crimes Unit' and his friend, author Ashforth, helps him search for a solution. Spiritual and social issues blend in a fascinating biographical and cultural coverage.

A fun collection of whimsical stories!.......2005-10-16
Saving Sirena by Susan Krinard has an "I Dream of Jeannie" feel to it. When conservative stiff-shirt Jack rescues an alley cat, he breaks a spell that releases a sexy witch Sirena, who then uses sweetly silly antics to loosen him up and bring fun into his life, as they each find a way into the other's heart.
In Everything She Does is Magick by Maggie Shayne, Aurora is an excellent physician with a magical healing touch. From the time she is an infant, the three eccentric aunts who raised her determine that it's Aurora's destiny to marry Nathan, who must remain a virgin until then. Problem is that the two have never gotten along. The aunts go to great, and sometimes ridiculous lengths to prevent Nathan from giving himself to another woman before Aurora and he learn that emotions as strong as hate are really love in disguise, and that they wouldn't hurt and bother each other so much if they didn't truly care about the other.
To mend a Spell by Lisa Higdon is my favorite story in the collection. Laura, orphaned as a young girl, was raised as her dressmaker Grandmother's apprentice in Salem, Massachusetts. While searching for fabric in their attic, Laura stumbles upon an old keepsake chest. Curiosity gets the best of her, so she breaks the lock. Inside, she finds a Spell Book that belonged to one of her ancesters. She reads the book with a degree of scepticsm, but when things start to go wrong for a sea caption she recently met, she begins to believe in the magic. Using the spells to reverse the bad luck with befell the captain bewitches them both, drawing them closer together romantically.
A Spell of Mist and Roses by Amy Elizabeth Saunders started off with great promise and admiration for the hero, when Kit was banished by the King for standing up for his principles. Once he arrives at the dilapidated castle, he turns very unlikable in his arrogance over the lack of amenities and servants. Only Isabelle, a young herbalist, can change his situation and attitude by declaring that the spell on the castle will be broken if Kit serves the townspeople. Through hard work, kindness and compassion, he gains the respect of the people and of the reader, and finds his niche in the community and in Isabella's heart.

Product Description
The classic situation comedy Bewitched chronicled the everyday lives of Samantha, a witch, and Darrin Stephens, her mortal husband, dramatizing the often-humorous troubles caused by their mixed marriage. For much of its eight-year run, Bewitched enjoyed strong popularity because of its broad appeal. A parade of magical characters, animals, special effects, and gimmickry used to portray witchcraft ensured that the series appealed strongly to children, while its domestic tensions, feminist undertones, and hints at gay and lesbian subculture grabbed the attention of adult viewers. Bewitched also participated in industrial innovations, like the shift from black-and-white to color television production, and found itself caught in the political shift from Lyndon Johnson s Great Society to Richard Nixon s staunch conservatism. With all of these factors in mind, Walter Metz considers the series an important touchstone in 1960s and 1970s culture.

IN A LOCAL LIBRARY IN VICTORIA,B.C........2002-07-28
I read that book many years ago while at VICTORIA,B.C.where my sister lives.I had pick it up at a local library.It was actually the first real account of RODGERS and HART and their collaboration of twenty-three years(1920-1943),apart from DICK RODGERS's autobiography published the year before.Several passages of this book are about LARRY HART and his bout with booze that finally killed him at age 47.The story of how the show I MARRIED AN ANGEL was created is really something to read.Apparently,LARRY wrote half the lyrics of that show in one single night.If you like RODGERS and HART,you'll enjoy reading that book.There is only one problem:it was never reedited.Local librarys or used book stores are your alternatives.
