Movie review: The Sheep Detectives

 

I highly recommend The Sheep Detectives.

Based on a German books translated into English as Three Bags Full, if you're into finding the books behind the movies. I know I'm interested enough.

What's it about? George, a shepherd, loves his sheep. He reads to them every night -- detective stories.

So when George is apparently killed, his sheep decide to set about using what they've learned to find the killer.

Lots of fun, some tender movies, some sad moments. Even some very corny and obvious jokes. Such as the time 2 of the sheep are standing by the side of the road. They've never left their pasture before, they've never seen a road before, and they're terrified to cross. And in the middle of their paralysis, along comes a chicken that clucks and struts right across. They never do say WHY the chicken crossed the road...

Or there's the time the butcher who wants to get his hand on George's flock is parked by the side of the road, counting all the sheep he thinks will soon be his, and ... you guessed it ... he falls asleep!

Prepare to Launch!

 

Many moons ago, I wrote a handful of silly short stories about Fae living among Humans, falling in love and dealing with malfunctioning magic, curses, interfering relatives,  and other assorted problems.

The original collection has been out of print for years, and the e-publisher that took it over has closed their doors too.

HOWEVER ....

I've revised the stories, expanded them, and added maybe 30K mor words. The stories are sillier than ever, plus I've got some pseud-academic writings giving the inside scoop on Fae life, culture, history, and biology.

What's it about?

The Fae are back! Out and about in the modern world.

Addicted to love -- and chocolate!

Who are they?

Glori, a daycare teacher with malfunctioning magic meets Lance, an exterminator, cursed to turn into a cute little mouse at the dark of the moon, and searching for a Faerie princess's kiss to break the spell.

Alexi, a Fae with fading magic, hiding in Las Vegas, needs a job to survive, and meets Megan, a half-blood Fae working as a magician.

Kevyn, an actor who refuses to follow the family tradition and become a lawyer, gets kidnapped by Sophie, an academic with pointed ears and weird relatives, who is doing her doctoral thesis on magic.

When the Fae queen dies of poisoned chocolate, Epsi, an agoraphobic Fae, is one of the many suspects. Guber, with a claim to a throne he doesn't want, works to prove her innocent. But can they protect each other from the lunatic fringe and the real murderer?

With the Fae, chocolate is a universal cure, but can it cure their woes and help them find true love?

Find out, when All's Fae in Love and Chocolate.

Now in pre-launched at Kickstarter, ALL'S FAE IN LOVE AND CHOCOLATE is available for some serious eyeballing. Please check it out, and maybe drool a little over the possibilities waiting for you to claim.

Launch day is planned for June 1, with lots of extra goodies if pledges pass the line for stretch goals!
