This book is dedicated to
Freyja Olsen, who helped me conceive of this book,
Jonna Weidaw, who helped me birth it,
and Aurora and Solome OGreenfield, who will watch it grow.
Note from the Publisher
The womans image on the cover is only one representation of who a Sexy Witch may be. We chose it because we thought it was stunning, powerful, and a good illustration of the spirit of Sexy Witch, but we hope you, the reader, know that Sexy Witches come in all colors, sizes, shapes, and ages.

Acknowledgments
I offer huge amounts of gratitude to many who helped this book come into existence. Without the understanding and love of my daughters, Aurora and Solome, my life would lack meaning, grounding, and direction. You girls have been most gracious in allowing me time to work, and still loving me even when you miss me.
Without the sometimes merciless yet always understanding, unflagging support and help from my husband, Bobby Cochran, I would not be able to work, nor live or love, as I do. You are my committed, on-the-spot editor, my brainstorming partner, and my force of grounding when I get too crazy. The support you offer me is truly beyond expectation.
The love of those I love keeps me strong on my path. I thank each of you from the bottom of my heart.
Without my wonderful agent, Nancy Ellis-Bell, I would still be looking for a publisher. And without Jonna Weidaw, I would still be trying to finish this book! Jonna is my total s/hero! By performing the task of being my research assistant and data-compiler, Jonna made it possible for me to meet my deadline for Sexy Witch. She also brought me food when she visited, made me laugh, helped me work, helped me play when I needed to, and kept me supplied with my favorites vices while I slaved at the machine. I cant thank her enough. Her husband, Ryan, was extremely generous in his sharing of her time and attention. Thanks to the both of them!
Thanks to Natalie, Alison, Andrea, Drew, and the whole crew at Llewellyn. I couldnt have been brought into the world of publishing by a better group of folks. Throughout the process of bringing this book to fruition, I felt heard and cared for, even if not always agreed with. Everyone has had incredible patience with me as I learned the ropes. So to each of you, thanks for breaking me in gently!
I had a test-reading crew that helped out massively with their comments and critiques. Huge thanks to Marylyn Motherbear Scott, Traci Burleigh, Chris Zephyr McBride, Kim Haines, Rebecca Wong, Sherry Blanchard, Jody Gehrman, Tawny Martin, Cynthia McClendon, Kami McCullough, and, again, Jonna Weidaw and Bobby Cochran (my one and only male test-reader).
I thank Freyja Olsen for her help and inspiration, Annie Sprinkle and Nina Hartley for their support and friendship, and my huge and wonderful extended family of friends for doing what they do bestliving the life we are creating. Yolkai Scott, Ackshawn Anthony Catanzaro, Traci Burleigh, Travis Smith, Lauren Spieler, Renee Petry, Josh King, Jonna and Ryan Weidaw, and so many others, thank you all for being here at this time in my life. Thanks also to my siblings for sharing in this life: Yolkai and Emrys Scott, Patience Foster, Tryntje and Tobias Young, and Jutta, Traven, and Talon Brandon.
