Mrs. Perivale and the Blue Fire Crystal

#1 Best Seller in Children's Folk Tales & Myth Collections This book and series was born because of a viral meme requesting it be written @yabroodingauthor: "It's amazing how many prophecies involve teens. You'd think they'd pick more emotionally stable people, with more free time. Like Grandmas." To which @Dinurial replied, "I would read the hell out of a series of a chosen 85yo woman who goes on epic journeys throughout a dangerous and magical land armed only with a cane and her stab-tastic knitting needles accompanied by her six cats and her skittish-yet-devoted orderly who makes sure she takes her pills on time." WISH GRANTED. Mrs. Alice Perivale realizes that she is finished with her life. At 73 years old she is told that she is useless to the world and she begins to wonder if it's true, until she is surprised by the most unusual creature she has ever seen. Strange and adorable, the magical Inkling pleads with her to go to a realm she never could have imagined, on a journey both tempestuous and treacherous, or as her butler Henderson would call it, quite disorderly Against all odds, she accepts the prophesied quest and embarks on an adventure to save the enchanting, exotic world. As the natural elements there begin to rage out of control, Alice must find her way through the magic, mystery, and danger, to take back the Blue Fire Crystal; a powerful and vital gem stolen by a dark force no one has ever seen, hidden away in a palace no one has ever found. Alice does not go alone. She is accompanied by her seven loyal cats; Tao the Siamese, Sophie the Pampered Princess, Montgomery the Old Gentleman, Bailey the Fat Calico, Jynx the Black, Oscar the Orange Kitten in Training, and Marlowe the Devoted Abyssinian whose place is always at Mrs. Perivale's side. Her delicate butler, Henderson, who has no desire whatsoever for adventure, swallows his fears and chases along after her, obliged to his duty to watch over her, making sure that her pills are taken on time, and tea is served as and when it should be. Sassy, smart, fireball Alice, armed with her stab-tastic knitting needles, her courage, and her determined company, takes on the challenge; she is determined to save the wondrous world of Corev , where she must find out for herself whether her life is really over, or if the most extraordinary parts of it may be yet to come
