Synopsis They've got no strings...and they want revenge. The people of the city of Vetri are turning into wooden statues... ...and Beaumont and Beasley are not on the case. Not technically, anyway. This case must fall to two of their employees, the faun Gareth Llewellyn and the dryad Sylvia Kirke. True, Gareth and Sylvia don't have a great deal of experience, but this shouldn't be too difficult. The solution to the mystery is fairly obvious, and the evil magical force at work will be no great challenge to defeat. Unless Gareth and Sylvia make a terrible mistake that puts…

{Get to Know the Author}

✒️📖✒️📖✒️📖✒️

It's been a while since I've done an introduction post, so I thought I'd remedy that today and share a few facts about the author behind the photos!

✨ I'm an ENFJ (and huge MBTI and personality types in general nerd 🤓) and love cats, coffee, and people (not necessarily in that order).

📖 If it's not obvious, I really love pink. My tastes are often akin to a 5-year-old girl and I am not ashamed by that fact. Pink and glitter and rainbows forever. 🩷✨🦄

✨ I'm also a huge fan of Alice in Wonderland. The whimsy of it has long delighted me. And the fact that I love it and the Mad Hatter is one of my favorite fictional characters in general may say something about me. 🤪

📖 I've adored stories since...always? I was gobbling away at books at a very young age, tried my hand at writing them at 9-years-old, and have been avidly and passionately telling stories ever since.

✨ Fantasy has long been my favorite genre with an extra special love for fairy tales but I read a lot of historical fiction when I was younger and have recently started writing it some too and it's been such a fun experience. (Though my love for dragons and enchanted forests and epic quests has not diminished in the least. 🐲🗡️)

📖 I firmly believe in the power of stories and using our creativity to the fullest and am passionate about encouraging creatives to always seek that spark and never give up creating. 💖

✨ You will find a lot of posts here encouraging creatives amid the ups and downs of this creative life, and I also offer coaching to writers. 🖋️💛

📖 In the past couple of years I discovered roleplaying and am officially obsessed.

✨ Basically everything I do has something to do with storytelling and books and I am not sad about this fact.

📖 I would also very much like to own a pet dragon so if anyone knows how to acquire one please let me know me know thaaaanks! 🐉💕

That's more than enough about me. I want to know YOU all more! Drop a fun fact about yourself below!

I'm SO grateful to each of you for following along and enjoying my content. I feel so blessed to be a part of this community! 💛
