Thyme, Tricksters, and Treachery

Anthology | ~45,000 Words | September 2024

Far, far away, a very long way from here, in the Halfling hamlet of Pondaroak, you’ll find an Inn named the Swindle & Swine. Elina Hogsbreath, the inn’s proprietor, comes from a long line of hedge witches — she learned the craft from her mother, who had learned it from her mother, tracing back generations.

Stay for a spell. Come wolves, worgs, or worms, Elina will serve you right.

This anthology contains five previously published stories:

A Thyme of Trouble
The Keening Cup
The Magnificent Marion Maloney
Midnight Tea
The Song at Harvest’s End

And one story totally unique to this anthology:

Revenge and its Noble Preoccupations

Fans of Brandon Sanderson, Travis Baldree, and S. L. Rowland will find Elina’s cozy fantasy stories tap into the heart. They spin tales of community and superstition, explore the consequences of hubris, and flirt with ancient powers. Filled with fantasy fun, warmth, tension, love, cooking, horror, and foreboding, they enthrall readers with stories of home, hearth, fae, friendship, and forgotten magic.

Cozy Fantasy. Cooking. Spirits. Fae Lore. Witchcraft.
