"Come home for Easter," Mom said, "I need you to clean out the basement." Perhaps she'd known the task would attract me as the fetid odor of Skunk Cabbage blossoms attracts carrion-hunting flies. So begins the first of three urban-fantasy short stories. From the first page, Aimee Easterling's affinity for the natural world makes settings sparkle even before Fae enter the scene. Soon the protagonists have to rescue errant children from fairyland, outwit a botanical wordsmith, and overcome a slumbering salamander. Will they be clever enough to outwit the Fae?

Aimee Easterling is a USA Today Bestselling author writing on the boundary between urban fantasy and paranormal romance. She specializes in spunky shifters and invites you to dive into her werewolf world in the Wolf Rampant trilogy, the spinoff Bloodling serial, and her new Alpha Underground series. Studying biology and working as a naturalist have both informed Aimee's writing, but she's quite willing to let reality slide in favor of a good story. When not writing, she loves to read and always keeps books by Robin McKinley, Patricia Briggs, and Elizabeth Peters on her shelf. You can learn more at www.aimeeeasterling.com.
