Bewitched and Be Ditched is a darkly humorous and inventive exploration of a two-decade love story between Arthur, a brilliant but aging poet/singer, and Katherine, a successful Canadian designer who has defied the odds to make her mark in Paris. Through time-jumping journal entries and candid emails, the novel reveals the often-bittersweet vulnerability inherent in their partnership and how their experiences connect them.
When Patasola, a cunning witch from the South American wastelands, seduces her way into the Madrid art scene by exploiting vulnerable sugar daddies, Arthur—Katherine’s beloved husband—becomes her latest prey. Torn between his dual nature—the passive Dr. Jekyll and the lustful, reckless Billy Goat Mr. Hyde—Arthur convinces himself that this young witch is not only madly in love with him but is his saviour.
Can Katherine save Arthur from this emotional vampire before it’s too late?
About the author
Karen Moller grew up in a small community in the mountains of Western Canada with a father who believed girls weren’t worth educating and a mother who believed she had no talent. Virtually abandoned by her family, Karen worked her way through Art College. After winning the Alberta Art Scholarship, she hitchhiked to San Francisco, the beatnik heartland, in search of the mysterious brotherhood rebelling against American conformity.
Then it was on to New York and Paris, where she participated in poetry and art events, becoming friendly with unknown but soon-to-be-famous artists, poets, and musicians while continuing her art studies. In Spain, she became interested in the decorative arts after working with architects to make a living. In London, as the key player in Swinging London, Karen became globally known for her textile designs.
After winning awards and gaining international recognition, she relocated her design studio to Paris. In 1985, she created the styling office Trend Union, which TIME magazine named ‘one of the world's most influential fashion forecasting firms for predicting fashion trends.’
Karen now splits her time between her townhouse in Paris and her apartment in Venice, where she wrote Technicolor Dreamin’ in her own fashion. This memoir was published in England in 2018 and Sonando en Tecnicolor by Ediciones La Bahía in Spain. In 2021, Chasing the Stars and Hoping to Shag the Moon, the follow-up memoir, was published in England in 2020.
