BONUS SCENES These two bonus scenes were written from Queen Ash’s point of view while I was working out the story for LOST WITH LEEKS. E

Blog postRoman spring with bench. I can’t tell you the secret about this spring because it would be a spoiler for UNDER PRESSURE WITH A SQUASH. But I will share the secret to the Sevens Times Table. (Not stealing credit for that!) © Laurel Decher, 2020. In the story I’m working on right now . . . (see below if you want to see which one)

We took a “crooked elevator” [Schrägaufzug] up to the youth hostel in the fortress. *Entertaining but bring exact change*
