A Cozy Mystery (with dragons): Tea, cake, and suspicious flooding in the Yorkshire Dales It never rains, but it pours. And in Toot Hansell, that goes double… When Toot Hansell’s water supply turns murky, it’s easy to blame the notoriously soggy Yorkshire weather. But this winter, the rain’s endless, the water’s undrinkable, and the village is slowly turning into a bog. The local water sprite, Nellie, could probably sort it all out – if she hadn’t mysteriously vanished, leaving behind a battalion of furious geese, which are only adding to the problems. Now the only clean water in town is arriving in pricey bottles from Toot Hansell’s new wellness guru, Lachlan Jameson. And the rising water isn’t the only problem. People are vanishing, strange faces are appearing in the streams, and quicksand is starting to become a real concern. The dragons and the ladies of the Women’s Institute know this is more than a bit of inclement weather, and they’re not going to stand by and watch their village drown. But the deeper they wade into the mystery, the murkier things get. Because something is lurking in the depths—and if the WI, the dragons, and one reluctantly off-the-books detective inspector don’t get to the bottom of it soon, the whole valley could be swept away. This winter, it’ll take tea, teamwork, and all the stubborn deviousness of ladies of a certain age to keep Toot Hansell from being washed off the map… A funny cozy mystery (with dragons), for anyone that likes their mysteries British, gentle, and well-stocked with cake, tea, and friendship.

Author

Hello lovely people! I’m Kim (as you may have guessed, given that you're on the author page for Kim). I write funny fantasies and off-beat cosy (or cozy, depending where you're from) mysteries set in a world not so dissimilar to ours - and in fact sharing many locations. And in this not-dissimilar world you'll find mystery-solving dragons with a strong affection for barbecues and scones, and snarky feline PIs with human sidekicks. You'll run across baking-obsessed reapers running petting cafes stocked with baby ghouls, Apocalyptic riders on Vespas, and women of a certain age Getting Things Done. There may even be the odd born-again troll redefining troll-ness for the modern age about the place. You'll find myth and reality clashing in small and spectacular ways, and discover the healing magic of tea and a really good lemon drizzle cake. But, most of all, there will be friendship, and loyalty, and people of all species looking out for one another. Because these, above all things, are magic. And you can find me rambling on about all this (and more) over on my website, or join me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for bad puns and many, many cat memes. Many. Come join me!
