  Skye's The Limit!

  An immersive storytelling adventure through the realms of possibility, written and performed by the multi-talented Jennie Morton. Unbuckle your seatbelt and enter the mind of Skye for a laugh-out-loud ride from the edge of absurdity to the outer limits of consciousness—where nothing goes as planned, everything gets questioned, and the punchlines land uncomfortably close to home. The story is brought to life with vivid characters, cinematic sound design, and fearless, insightful humor. 
  Skye O’ Keefe is a somewhat neurotic Brit whose career as a personal assistant to movie stars has taken her from Pinewood to Hollywood. Tired of picking up after everyone else’s crises, she embarks on a journey of self discovery after deciding she wants to ‘ascend’. With a lifelong tendency to narrate her own life in her head, she rambles and rants her way through the many obstacles she faces with her characteristic Monty Python-esque humor. 
  We follow her as she traverses the California desert to attend an ascension retreat run by a world-famous guru, then on to Sedona where she receives a prophetic psychic reading. Armed with her new knowledge and experiences, she returns home to Los Angeles hoping to upgrade the ‘frequency’ of her well-chiseled, if behaviorally-challenged, movie star boss. 
  Complete with an original music score and sound effects, this fun ride will transport you back to the days of radio comedy. 
  Written & narrated by Jennie Morton 
  Original music composed & performed by Bryan Landers

  It’s a quiet English village—except for one crazed murderer—in this delightful romp by the author of the Constable Mavis Upton series. Librarian Prunella Pearce has left heartbreak behind to start a new life in the village of Winterbottom, where there’s little social life to be had aside from the meetings of The Winterbottom Women’s Institute at the parish hall. But a bit of excitement ensues when the group is about to elect a new president—and the nominees for the position begin dropping like flies. One is found facedown in a lemon drizzle cake, stabbed with a crochet needle. Another nearly dies spectacularly in the revolving doors of a Harrogate hotel. When Pru and her friend Bree agree to do some undercover snooping to help the police, little do they know that one of the Winterbottom women is hiding a scandalous secret . . .
