Thanks everybody for your comments on American Witch. You've helped tremendously with revisions. American Witch is now available on Amazon's Kindle. Go to http://www.amazon.com/American-Witch-ebook/dp/B00838VY7E/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1341525013&sr=1-1&keywords=American+Witch.

I am more than happy to trade reviews or press the "Liked" button with any Authonomy writers who also have books on Amazon.com. It's a tough world out there publicizing books, so let's help out one another!

I'll leave a selection of American Witch chapters on Authonomy for those interested in reading--it's not your usual witch story. Check it out! I changed my long pitch again, so am curious to know the reaction. I return all reads--sorry if it sometimes takes awhile. If you email me requesting a return read, please read my book first. Unfortunately, not everyone who promises a return read does so.

A number of my short stories have been published in webzines, including the late great Whispers of Wickedness, and small press anthologies, with Cern Zoo being the latest anthology. The caliber of writing in Cern Zoo is so high, I feel somewhat embarrassed to be included and wonder if I wasn't accidentally dropped in somehow.

Check out my website RosalindBarden.com to satisfy your further curiosity.

American Witch

Rosalind Barden

Step into Hollywood’s demimonde and follow the misadventures of George, the only witch Jesus ever saved.


George is not your average witch. He's been homeless, an addict, a porn star, a rich Hollywood jerk.

George desperately wants a cigarette again, but more desperately craves the mountain of beautiful powder that fueled his beautiful life with beautiful hair and beautiful people, only to have it implode in violence in the suburban sprawl of Palmdale’s desert. Not everyone appreciates a long-haired witch with a big black pentagram tattoo.

He's roomies with Danny, a fashion-focused Satanist fired for his rumored fondness for the studio boss's poodle. He's lovers with Dimi, who orders Porsches like pizzas. He's best friends with Anthony, an ex celebrity “personal slave.” He's best enemies with F-U, who enjoys kicking George with his great velvet boots for ruining his chance to become the next Goth pop star.

Poor George. The only witch Jesus saved. He’s haunted by enigmatic dreams, haunted by his landlord’s dead lover. He wonders, did he really used to be the horrible jerk everyone says?

Join George's darkly humorous journey as he learns to be himself.

Another fantastic cover by Bradley Wind!

Crow Diary reminds me of what being a writer is really about. There is a quiet meditative quality to the writing. It is simple. Yet, I was completely fascinated, and more compelled to finish than if I were reading a high action thriller. Yes, this is true story telling. I enjoyed that the crow ... view book

Who Wants to Diet Anyway is a book that many women, and men too, can identify with, especially in these difficult economic times. She's struggling to stick to a diet with husband and kids who want to eat like normal people, her foodie friend, and on top of it all, she loses her job. The everyday ... view book

Who Killed the President is an historical novel that wonderfully captures the time period of the 1901 Pan American Exposition. I was drawn into El's story, as she tries to better her life and help her family, who struggle like so many Irish immigrants to America at that time. This book is engaging... view book

Discoredia pushes the boundaries of sci-fi thrillers. The book immedately facinates with it's dark, gritty undergound club scene, then continues the intrigue with the "castle" in the forest. Wayne's inner dialogue while the mysterious pill takes hold was particularly well done. Backed. Rosalind B... view book

The North Korean promises to be an intense thriller. It moves at a good pace. The unique historical setting sets this book apart from many others. I did not expect the end of chapter 1, but that only makes me want to read more. The second chapter is equally fascinating, describing the main chara... view book
