This week's reviews
Witch-hunt!
by GERMAINE MOONEY December 2021 in HISTORICAL
Well-researched historical account of how to go about discovering a witch in your midst – at least if you are a 17th century zealot with a penchant for torture and executions. Or for that matter, suppression of women, particularly of the elderly and unmarried kind. Great read and worth noting how witchfinders went about their trade.
This author also mentions stories about dark romance, among other themes and genres, which are next on my reading list (grows longer by the day!)
by KRISTY ANDERSON September 2022 in SUPERHEROES / COMICS
I am not a comic-book buff and had no idea that Marvel included witches among its characters. But they do and I like the idea of Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch, so thanks to Kristy Anderson for writing about her. If you want to know more about this brightly-clad sorceress, you know where to go.

Definitely for you if like your double, double, toil and trouble. Have a read of this lively verse which provides a great potion to take on All Hallows’ Eve. Not for the feint hearted however, and you better hope this witch visits some other place and not yours this Halloween.
If you can’t get it on BBC, have a look on You Tube.
Brilliant, irreverent hilarity!

The goals I did not achieve
Every writing goal I made for the year is a wash. It has been this way for a while, but I think it's important to be open about my failures and the reality of how life can get in the way. This is especially true considering the several times I have posted on Vocal about my writing goals, how I was changing my approach, and where I was hoping to be for the upcoming year. I will probably do that again in a couple months, but for now, it is time to acknowledge where I am today.

How Enterprises Plan Mobile Products Beyond the MVP Stage
In enterprise mobile application development, the MVP is rarely where things go wrong. Most enterprise teams reach validation just fine. The problem begins after, when the app moves from a proof of concept into a long-lived product expected to support real users, evolving business processes, and growing organizational complexity.
