The Slooswell Witches

Tressa Rae Gardner- Tessa Jones to ordinary folk- is on the run.

Well, the quietest, slowest run possible.

After stealing (back) a family heirloom from the Sun-aligned Fae, she’s hiding out in the most mundane place to find books- a bookshop in a sleepy Tennessee town. It’s an easy cover- being a bookworm helps, and she simply changes the hiding spot of the heirloom every lunar change. She just has to keep her death magic under wraps.

But something unexpected is coming: Faerie of both Sun and Moon are closing in- one for the family artifact, the other for the bounty on her head.

For now, though, Tressa is blissfully unaware, accidentally falling for the local horticulturist, and trying to make ends meet in this magical-meets-mundane urban fantasy novella series.

BOOKSHOPS & BROONIES

After moving to Slooswell, Tennessee, Tressa- excuse me, Tessa- is settling in to her new job as bookseller for the local bookshop, meeting the hunky gardener across the street, and successfully hiding her family’s artifact. There’s just one problem: the bookshop itself seems to be hexed.

Or maybe haunted.

While Tessa and the locals work to sort out their issue, another rises to the surface: that of a missing woman, the original witch to place so much of the love and magic into the town. Working to save her brings Tessa face-to-face with the one thing she was running from: Fae. Will she and a ragtag group of witches be able to save this mysterious lady of the lake? Is the bookshop just totally cursed?

WISTERIA WOES

The Wisteria Room has a problem. A tiny, shadowy problem.

The town of Slooswell is entering the Autumnal season- Tessa’s favorite- and the veil is thinning. Magic and mayhem collide as she attempts to figure out what on earth is making chaos happen in her room at the Tender’s Rest, all while wooing the gardener across the street, and dodging both the Sun and Moon Folk. Oh, and something in The Woods is calling her- something big. What is it? Who is it?

WAYWARD STRANGER

Things have taken a dangerous turn: whatever the shadow creature is in The Woods, it’s after Tessa, and it knows her true name. She has little choice but to face it. But with what little power she has, given her damming it up to protect her family, she’s going to need a little help.

One unassuming letter later, she’s hoping someone– anyone– will come save her.

BLINDING BRILLIANCE

The finale of The Slooswell Witches story is here! Tressa Rae Gardner has been running entirely too long.

It’s time to settle this.

As the Sun Faerie invade her dreams with esoteric threats more and more often, Tressa realizes that this is it- it’s time to fight. Assembling every ally she can, she and the other witches of Slooswell must ban together- putting aside their differences and grudges- or else, the town will fall.

For better or worse, the battle will end. Will they make it? Or will Slooswell become another ghost town, missing from the history books?
