Books published by Sweet Mischief's Press

The books from the Scrolls of Dust deal with the human condition and reflect a coming-of-age or rite-of-passage theme for the characters, whether they be 25 years old or 50. Much as those who grew up in a dysfunctional family, such as the adult children of alcoholics, must face their past, each character has to make peace with his or her own demons.

They are, above all, action-based stories of love and self-awareness. Embrace the Boogeyman includes a glossary that elaborates on the symbolism found in the novel. New Orleans in the 20th century provides the setting for a story that also contains 7th century Vikings and a 14th-century (B.C.) shrine.

The fast-paced books deal with serious issues in a light-hearted manner as the name of the press indicates. They all contain a laugh ... or two ... or more ... as the characters discover reality was not what they imagined at all.

Hats off to Embrace the Boogeyman, October 20, 2002:

Reviewer: Shannon Smyrl from Midland, TX United States

Read the first six pages of Embrace the Boogeyman and you will not put down the book. Artwork by Charlotte Seay and Georgia Temple enhance the exquisite verbal imagery of the book.

Embrace the Boogeyman, October 20, 2002

Reviewer: Linda Thorsen Bond from Nacogdoches, Texas

Is it new age? Is it science fiction? Or a romance? I'd say "Embrace the Boogeyman" is in a class by itself. Author Georgia Temple has written a tightly-crafted novel that travels back and forth through the ages to tell a tale of good and evil. Whether you fancy the Vikings or modern times, you'll be intrigued by her story. There's a strong heroine, a worthy love interest and a grisly opponent. With "Embrace the Boogeyman," Georgia Temple may have created her own genre!
