First sentence: The midday sun stretched her arms in all directions with a lazy yawn.  After a feast of leftover moonlight and stolen sips of dandelion wine, the promise of a long afternoon stretched out before her with skirts of gold net.
Description: Freedomhowler, Finchley & Co. continues of saga of Professor Bernhard Freedomhowler's Internationally Acclaimed Traveling Exhibition of Medicinal Wonderment. In this installment, the troupe has been joined by the apothecary Lady Follie Finchley, as they travel from France to Spain, across the Strait of Gibraltar and over to the Other Side, on a mission to collect the secret items of power that will foil Satan's plot to destroy free will. All while getting sidetracked by (among other things) demons on pogo sticks, Parsifal the Canadian Knight of the Round Table, the true tale of Santa Claus, and the tea-drinking Queen of Hell. It's a tough way to make a living.

Medicine Show is the first volume of the project, and was written over the time period of May 2005 to May 2006. The second volume,  Freedomhowler, Finchley, and Co., was written from November 2006 to November 2007.
