Life is too short to let it just pass by without leaving your mark on this planet in some small way. So, I created dolls who bring me happiness, and wrote stories about them because they bring me joy. Enjoy life. I'm also a life-long student of Astrology. I'm Libra sun, Scorpio moon, Leo rising.

I'd like to meet:

The Wizard of Swamp Alley is out NOW.Swamp Alley is a portal between this side and the other side.A Cajun Wizard named Antoine Clement Hebert, lives near Swamp Alley which is behind The Land of Sha Bebe. He keeps balance between this side and the other side, by playing his fiddle, but he was kidnapped by “them”. Today, the Ghosts of Swamp Alley protect the ones on this side from the opposite presence who occupy the other side. Who or what is this presence, and where is this place that has the Wizard trapped?
Could he be in the dreaded Land of Lackluster? Marie La Vie yelled, "Oh Moi gris-gris," at the thought of Antoine being there, and she explains this other place very well. It's a place that has always existed all over the world ---- even today, it still exists. Sometimes, the presence of the other side may be near YOU.The Wizard of Swamp Alley is centered around Halloween, when the veil between this side and the other side is at it’s thinnest, and the Wizard is gone. Who has the knowledge to return the Wizard to his homeland, so that the Sha Bebe dolls can leave for the famous Halloween run of the quilts that’s elaborately put on by Madame Poulette every year?It’s a chilling read, yet still entertaining. And as always, it’s Dedicated to the Spirit of Louisiana Joy, happiness, mystery and suspense thrive in the
sugarcane fields of the Land of Sha Bebe. There's a NEW character
In the Land of Sha Bebe. His name is, Antoine Clement Hebert.
Antoine has the mark of a Cajun Wizard!
What is this mark that identifies him as a Cajun Wizard? ______________________ Some reviews from "Cajun Fairies": -------
This is a MUST read! I got the book for my 12 y/o niece (she has all the dolls and the first book), but I could not put it down or give it to her until I finished reading it (all in one sitting). Great job, BeB! Can't wait for the next one! From one Cajun lady to another -- "You do us proud!"
Karen Mayeaux --- Texas
------- I found Mary Lynn Plaisance's books to be such a wonderful and entertaining read, and one that I, as an adult, took great pleasure in reading. I wholeheartedly recommend her books to everyone who loves a well-constructed story. Her books are bound to become a Louisiana classic.
Jerry Bolton -- Houma, Louisiana -------
LOVE IT!! LOVE IT!! "I told you that your books were good!"
Pat Kolb -- New Orleans, Louisiana -------
You've created a Cajun fairy land, like Walt created a Disneyland. That's the way I read it. Your characters feel like a Disney scene set in the sugar cane fields. Madam Plume is my favorite with the Queen and the Poulette a close second. I savored every page of your story. I give you 5 stars.
Lana St.Season--- Louisiana -------
I love your creativity! Photographs of your characters in their environments work so much better than plain illustrations :) Keep weaving the threads of your wonderful creativity into a tapestry of magical tales, the pen is your loom, the paper your wool :)--In admiration :)
Stuart Higginson -- The United Kingdom ---------------------
Mary I have read your book and I must say that it is a GREAT read!! What a story. Your descriptive narrative is second to none---I felt as though I were in the action the whole time. The "braided rug road"---what a visual! Mary, thanks for all your hard work--all I can say is that it was worth it.
Craig Leonard -- Mississippi -------
I read your book over the weekend. It's not just a Louisiana book. There are messages for everyone to read and learn in the words you wrote. You have a way of spreading many emotions which all blend in well at the right time. I'm now a devouted Doll Land fan.
Amanda Parker -- New Orleans, Louisiana ------- "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science.

_____________ The Land of Sha Bebe is ruled by Queen Faustina Queen Faustina is a fair Queen with a good sense of humor, but she abides by the rules of the land since the beginning of time. She doesn't adapt to change easily. The Queen loves to jiggle her keys. The sound brings thoughts to her mind. She has been a resident of the land since the beginning of time. No one can leave the land without the Queens key seal of approval. NO ONE. It's a rule.

THEN, at midnight, the next 100 boy and girl dolls run out of Madame Plume's house and are ready to enter the sugar shacks for their month's stay.

Books:

_____________ This is Miss Betty Lou. Miss Betty Lou is the school teacher in the land. She teaches the 100 dolls common sense and good manners.

Angel: Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree.
They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion.
They live among humans without being seen.
They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching.
Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost.
They would love nothing more then to reveal themselves, but in today's society, this would bring havoc and many unneeded questions.
Give thanks to all things beautiful, for you are an Angel. ---------- LET THERE BE PEACE The Wizard likes JUSTICE! ----------All Authors=Join us in our group below___________
Madame Poulette threw all of her stars at me. *lol*
