Prudence, Henry and the Wizards Illustration for Ch 13 Ruby and the Ancient Teacher by Jacqueline S Miller



Prudence, Henry and the Wizards.

 Prudence is on the way home from her tour but has been intercepted by Henry, who is being followed by two wizards. Prudence briefly turns Henry into a rabbit (unfortunately brown and green) to help him escape. However, the wizards, who are from a high order, detect the spell and continue to follow them, managing to catch up with them in this cul de sac just as the spell wears off. Henry, an agent, has given Prudence a ransom note and a photograph of a certain missing person, which she is showing to the wizards in this picture.

In the back of Prudence's car are cages of birds and animals used in her magic act.

I used Apple apps to produce this picture from imagination. I like to know what my characters look like, so draw illustrations after writing a scene.

Ruby and the Ancient Teacher is a  Fantasy Novel which I hope to publish later this year.

Snowdrops in the Garden. Spring is coming! Hurrah!




The snow has melted away. When I ventured into the garden today, I saw the first Snowdrops of Spring.
Flowers always make me feel happy so I thought I would share this by posting some photographs of the Snowdrops on my blog. Enjoy!
