Holiday season? More like Holifae season. Mom always said, "Melina Morgan, nothing good ever came from messing with fae, and you can take that to the bank." She taught me a lot about the Fair Folk, namely that if they discovered my special powers, they'd kill me on the spot. She also taught me how to avoid them and how to protect myself if they did find me. What she did not prepare me for was waking up in the middle of the night to the sounds of a drunk dwarf puking outside my bedroom window. And that's just the beginning. Weird things are happening in my quiet coastal town of Cold Creek, NC. Like, super weird. And I just know they're connected to the strange dwarf who suddenly rolled into town. I also know I'm the only one who can protect Cold Creek. All I wanted was another fun-filled holiday season with my dad. Guess that's a big ho, ho, nope. Dwarves and Daisies is the start of a new cozy urban fantasy series.

The fae are coming for Melina Morgan. They didn’t count on her sourdough bread. Days ago, I encountered a dwarf, a farrow, and a bunch of boggarts. And, no, that’s not the setup for a joke. It’s the beginning of the end to my sleepy, boring - but safe - life in tiny Cold Creek, N.C. After spending decades trying to avoid the fae, I’m about to cross paths with them. A LOT of them. More troubling, I’m beginning to suspect a lot of what my mom taught me about the fae isn’t true. Worst of all? I’m super behind on my holiday shopping. So much for a quiet little Christmas at home... Spells & Sourdough is the second installment in the Manhattan Magic cozy holiday urban fantasy series.
