Okay, poor (very poor) joke title — and it’s Grissel Jaffray anyway! Although thanks to the comments on this new video, I found out about Jim Reid’s song ‘Grizzeled Jaffray’ about Dundee’s last witch. So I’m told; I’m trying to get a copy of it now so I can hear for myself. [Edit to add: It’s not Grizzeled just Grizzel, but it’s a beautiful and sad song. Love the CD.]

Long way round to saying this new short film about Grissel Jaffray from Gomni Productions begins in the Howff and heads around Dundee to take in many famous landmarks. And set them on fire! Heh, it’s only a film–phew! A little history, a little mayhem and a chance for Dundee’s last witch to have her say.

No, this isn’t just another opportunity to promote my Hard-Boiled Witch series, but have you read the stories yet? They also include lots of Dundee landmarks and lore and yes, I hope to add new ones soon and eventually gather them together in a collection. There is an overall arc with hints dropped in each episode. It’s going to be epic. It may involve fire…
